| Kosmic Brownie - Brownie Ice Cream with Brownie Chunks and Kosmic Candy Pieces |
The next flavor in the June nostalgia series (instagram link here) from the Minneapolis-based Milkjam Creamery is called Kosmic Brownie (instagram link here). This is based on the Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie snack. I must admit that I am too old for these to be a part of my childhood. It looks like they were introduced in 1999 to capitalize on a trend called "cosmic bowling" -- bowling in the dark with glow-in-the-dark equipment. I saw Cosmic Brownie's at a local ALDI store the other day. They are pre-packaged brownies with rainbow sprinkle candy on top. That is basically what this ice cream is -- it is a chocolate fudge brownie ice cream with rainbow sprinkle candy blended in. Let's give it a shot.
Removing the lid, the chocolate base is a normal dark brown color. Milkjam is famous for their Black chocolate, but this is more of a standard chocolate color. Visible right away are all the rainbow candy pieces. Digging in, this is a rich and smooth chocolatey flavor. Again, it is more of a standard rich chocolate which is different from their non-dairy "Black" flavor. It is quite good and it reminds me of brownie batter. The rainbow candies are a little bit crunchier than your standard "sprinkles" are. They mainly provide a bit of textural variation in the pint. Digging down, there are brownie pieces in the mix as well. These pieces almost feel half-blended with the base. I guess that is my comment on how thick the brownie batter base is and now soft and scoopable the brownie pieces themselves are.
This is an excellent implementation of a chocolate fudge brownie ice cream with the addition of rainbow candy pieces. Compared to other implementations, I would say the mix-ins here are on the softer side and the base is on the thicker side. I know chocolate-lovers already have a few options from Milkjam with their signature Black and Ridin' Duuurty flavors. This has a more traditional brownie flavor appeal.
