Masala Holla - Garam Masala Spice Blend (Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Allspice, Ginger, Peppercorns and Cardamom) spun into a Dairy-Free Base with Oat and Coconut Milks |
Removing the lid, the ice cream has a off-white color consistent with oatmeal. Knowing that oat milk was used may have led me to use that description, I might have used a linen color. Digging in, the base is sweeter than I expected. Not candy sweet, but almost a cereal-milk type of sweetness to it. I do taste the masala spice blend in the mix, but it is surprisingly mild. 'Garam' means 'hot', so perhaps this is just masala. The texture of the non-dairy base is interesting. It has a bit of gritty oiliness to it. It is not extreme -- it is still pleasing to eat -- but I do note the difference when I compare it to dairy bases. The texture reminded me a bit of Indian or Thai desserts -- cold, sweet with a little bit of graininess in there.
I enjoyed this flavor. It was not nearly as spicy as I was expecting for a masala flavor, but it was still cool and refreshing.
