Guess who’s again, again once more? Debbie’s again, inform a pal.
The gifted of us at Hudsonville Creamery, who’ve beforehand introduced us the Little Debbie Snack Cake-inspired pints of ice cream, are at it once more with their newest frozen providing: Little Debbie Oatmeal Crème Pie and Cosmic Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches.
I’d like to start this overview by establishing that I authentically like Little Debbie Snack Muffins—particularly, Oatmeal Crème Pies and Cosmic Brownies. I benefit from the ubiquitously delicate chewy texture, the sweetness so intense it nearly hurts your enamel, and the synthetic colours within the sweet sprinkles. I like it all, sparsely. You may suppose that as a result of this can be a junk meals weblog, having fun with traditional Little Debbie is a cost-of-entry element. However I discover it essential to say as a result of I’ve seen web hatred spewed towards Little Debbie Ice Lotions by individuals who, admittedly, don’t even LIKE the snack truffles themselves. Their opinions felt negatively skewed till they revealed that element, so I needed to make it clear the place I stood in case you hadn’t figured it out from my 2022 overview. Now, onward.
I began with the Cosmic Brownie ice cream sandwich, and my first emotion was excessive disappointment. These unhealthy boys price nearly $10 for a pack of FOUR, and so they look horrible straight out of the field. The chocolate ice cream filling had smooshed out of a few sides, and there was a tragic view of seen rainbow candies.
Tasting the Cosmic Brownie ice cream sandwich was a distinct expertise. The brownie’s texture was delicate and chewy, and the ice cream held its integrity via the chunk, not squishing out the edges in any respect. The brownie-flavored ice cream itself was gentle in texture and never so fudgy as to remove from the fudgy brownie surrounding it. Collectively, it was an pleasing and well-balanced chunk. I additionally seen many extra rainbow candies all through the brownie as I ate.
I tasted the Oatmeal Crème Pie ice cream sandwich subsequent. With out trying up the Nielsen information, I’d nonetheless guess the Oatmeal Crème Pie is Little Debbie’s top-selling snack cake. My 90’s nostalgia will always remember that scene from Honey, I Shrunk the Children the place they encounter a larger-than-life snack cake whereas shrunken of their yard. Anyway, the looks of this ice cream sandwich was rather more promising straight out of the field, and the field got here with six reasonably than 4. Off to a greater begin already.
Much like the Cosmic Brownie model, this one completely nailed the feel. The cookies have been so extremely harking back to the snack cake. In reality, I’d even go so far as to say I like these considerably extra. That they had cinnamon and molasses notes and have been delicate however substantial.
The ice cream had nearly a marshmallow taste, though the field described it as “Vanilla Crème,” so I can solely think about they have been aiming to copy the snack cake taste there, too. These are excellent. When you’re solely going to purchase one of many two, purchase these. My husband and I fought over the past one; they have been so scrumptious.
Look, you might need reached this level and rolled your eyes six totally different occasions on the earnestness of a girl who informed you she preferred Little Debbie after which waxed poetically about these ice cream sandwiches for a number of paragraphs, and to that I say LET ME LIVE.
My ONLY points with these are that they’re costly and the Cosmic Brownies are sort of messily packaged, which looks as if a rip-off given the worth. The Cosmic Brownie sandwich is slightly greater, however I solely seen that when filling out the pricing particulars under. In any other case, I believe Hudsonville has executed a superb job paying homage, but once more, to our pal Deborah.
