Milkjam Creamery - Cap'n Crunch and Berries

Cap'n Crunch and Berries - Cap’n Crunch Ice Cream with All Berries Treats and Berry Jam

 

The next flavor in the Minneapolis-based Milkjam Creamery's April line of Childhood Cereal Flavors (instagram link here) is called Cap'n Crunch and Berries (instagram link here).  This features a Cap'n Crunch flavored base ice cream with All Berries Treats as mix-ins along with a berry jam.  I did not know what All Berries Treats was before this review.  I guess it's another Capn Crunch product.  There is the original Capn Crunch which is the hard cereal.  Here they steep the base milk and cream in the original Capn Crunch to let it absorb the cereal flavor before straining out the cereal and churning.  Then there is Capn Crunch Berries (not used here) where they add these colorful berry-flavored puffs to Capn Crunch.  These puffs were evidently popular enough that they created a flavor called Oops All Berries which include only those puffs.  Here these berry puffs are used as a mix-in.  Milkjam also adds a berry jam into the mix.  Let's check this flavor out!

Removing the lid, the base ice cream has an off-white color and there are plenty of colorful mix-ins to see.  I see some of the "all berries" treats as well as some purplish sections which I believe are hints at the berry jam swirl (sometimes jam swirls bleed into the base).  Digging in, I taste quite a bit of berry right away.  I wish I knew which berries were in the jam.  It does not taste like any specific berry, so it is probably a blend.  I am guessing raspberry and strawberry, but many other berries could be in the mix.  The flavor of the berry blend is good.  The treats provide some sweet berry-flavored things to chew on.  Being soaked in cream for so long, they are not as crunchy as they'd be when french but the texture is not too bad.  The base itself has a mild flavor.  The flavor of Capn Crunch is not too obvious but I'll admit that I am not a sugar cereal connoisseur.  It is not bad, though and the purpose of the base here is just to serve as a vehicle for the mix-ins and swirl.

This is a fun and interesting berry cereal flavor from Milkjam Creamery.  If this type of cereal was your favorite as a kid, then this will take you back.  The berry jam adds extra berry flavor.  It's not quite as singularly amazing as the previous Cinnamon Caramel Toast Crunch flavor, but it is still a lot of fun.
