| Heart Eyes - Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée - Silky Egg Yolk Custard Spiked with Passion Fruit Puree Mixed with Caramelized Sugar Candy |
which was added to the Unicode standard as U+E106 back in 2010. This flavor is an interesting one. It is an egg custard with a swirl of passion fruit puree and some caramelized candies which resemble the top of a crème brûlée. This looks very interesting! I should note that there is another Valentine's flavor called I ♥ You which I reviewed last year.
Ok, on to the ice cream! Removing the lid, I see an yellowish base for the custard with a bit of an orangish tinge. Some of the passion fruit might have bled into the base a bit. Digging in, the custard base is soft and creamy as many of Milkjam's bases are. I can indeed taste a bit of the passion fruit right away as I had guessed. It appears that the passion fruit puree is mixed with the caramelized candy to create a single smooth swirl. There is no crunch to the candy, so it is almost like a burnt caramel swirl. This swirl is quite delicious, delivering the tropical sweet flavor of the passion fruit and the caramel removes the bitter finish that you sometimes get with just passion fruit alone.
This ice cream is quite good! Mixing passion fruit with caramel (or something caramel-like) is a great idea! For pure passion fruit in isolation, I have had the very good Sweet Science ice cream and and McConnell's custard, but Milkjam has done a very good way of finding blends for passion fruit which work extremely well, where it is this flavor or the passion fruit lychee swirl of their Uma Thurman flavor. I understand that by the time these reviews get posted that Valentine's season is over, Milkjam often has pints in the freezer case from the previous month and these holiday flavors often come back (as I ♥ You has done).
