Sweet Science - Graham Caramel Fudge

Graham Caramel Fudge - Graham Cracker Ice Cream with Swirls of Fudge and Salted Caramel

The February flavors for the Saint Paul-based Sweet Science Ice Cream are out.  One flavor is Blood Orange Cream which I already reviewed in a previous winter seasonal release and the other flavor is today's flavor:  Graham Caramel Fudge.  It has a graham cracker base and swirls of fudge and salted caramel.  I got it at the scoop shop in the Keg & Case Market in Saint Paul.

Popping off the lid, the top of the pint looks very good.  The graham cracker base is a tan color, but it is well hidden by all the fudge and caramel.  As I dig in, the fudge and caramel are everywhere and they dominate the flavor here.  The fudge tastes a bit like Hershey's chocolate syrup -- it has that time bite in the back of my throat after I swallow.  The caramel swirl is excellent as well.  It would be a strong swirl if the fudge was not there, but it is still quite noticeable.  The graham cracker flavoring in the base is a bit mild.  That's fine as it seems to serve as the vehicle to deliver these tasty swirls.

I enjoyed this pint very much.  This reminded me a bit of a S'mores flavor but with caramel instead of marshmallow.  That substitution is a great idea because caramel is a more popular flavor in isolation than marshmallow -- at least with adults.  Or you could just enjoy it for all the chocolate and caramel.  Check it out if this interests you.  Sweet Science cycles seasonal flavors out every month but they often have pints from previous months at the bottom of their scoop-shop freezer case.
