McConnell's - Mocha Fudge & Smoked Almonds

Mocha Fudge & Smoked Almonds - Cold-brewed Coffee Ice Cream with a Ribbon Dark Chocolate Sauce Smoky, Salt-Roasted Almonds

The second pint from my recent McConnell's shipment looks like a good one:  Mocha Fudge & Smokey Almonds.  Sometimes you can just by the flavor combinations that a particular flavor will be especially decadent.  Coffee, chocolate sauce and almonds... looks good.  Let's dig right in.

There is a lot of chocolate sauce visible on the top of the pint.  There is a thicker and darker sauce visible on one side and the lighter strip by a small air pocket.  The coffee base is a light beige color.  Digging in, the coffee base is quite flavorful.  It is a cold-brew coffee and not at all bitter.  The chocolate sauce is thick and rich.  It is a lot like a thick sauce that you would put on a sundae.  It is excellent.  The almonds are buried below.  Interestingly, these are whole almonds instead of sliced almonds from the olive oil flavor from the same shipment.  Just noting the difference.  They still taste quite good.

This is an amazing pint of ice cream.  It looked amazing in the online images before I made the order and it completely lived up to expectations.  They are going to have a hard time keeping this one in stock.  I've written about how coffee & chocolate go well together many times before.  This is one of the better combinations of those flavors.  What separates this pint is the thick and rich chocolate sauce.  Most of the time, the chocolate is delivered in chips or chunks.  The almonds are a great bonus as well.  Enjoy.
