McConnell’s Peppermint Mocha and Brownie Bites Dairy-Free “Ice Cream” contains a frozen oat milk dairy-free base flavored with peppermint and mocha, combined with gluten-free brownie items and a chocolate ganache swirl.
A 14-oz container prices $8.99, however I obtained this courtesy of McConnell’s.
When it comes to aroma, the Peppermint Mocha and Brownie Bites actually delivered. It smelled pretty strongly of espresso with the cooling notes of peppermint and a touch of chocolate. It jogged my memory a whole lot of a vacation latte.
For some cause, the oat milk frozen non-dairy base for the Peppermint Mocha and Brownie Bites taste was considerably smoother than within the Gingerbread Home taste. The iciness was practically imperceptible, and it had a clean, creamy mouthfeel. It additionally appeared to soften at a slower fee than the Gingerbread Home taste. The feel was fairly nice, and I might say akin to a premium ice cream; it is not fairly as dense as superpremium ice lotions.
I needed to love the flavour of the Peppermint Mocha and Brownie Bites greater than I really did. The mix of the robust espresso taste with the highly effective peppermint made the non-dairy frozen dessert style unpleasantly bitter. The quite a few peppermint sweet items dotting the oat milk base have been in all probability the culprits, and I feel it will have tasted higher with much less sweet items or just some peppermint extract added into the “ice cream” as an alternative.
The brownie items have been undoubtedly the spotlight of this taste. They have been mushy, evenly chewy but gooey, and never in in the slightest degree grainy (a typical aspect impact of gluten-free baking). There was a sturdy, darkish chocolate taste to the brownie bites that was offset with somewhat saltiness. There was a reasonably uniform distribution of brownie items with various sizes.
The ganache was suitably wealthy and offered a pleasant, dark-chocolate taste all through. It was somewhat runnier than I might count on for ganache, nonetheless.
When it comes to sweetness degree, I might say the Peppermint Mocha and Brownie Bites taste is reasonably candy. The bitterness from the espresso and peppermint, mixed with the slight saltiness of the brownies, in all probability helped to rein within the whole sweetness.
As a complete, I decently loved the Peppermint Mocha and Brownie Bites Dairy-Free “Ice Cream.” There have been some missteps (I am you, aggressive peppermint sweet items) however total, it was a nice consuming expertise. The feel is fairly good for a non-dairy frozen dessert and the brownie items have been stellar. Identical to with the opposite non-dairy taste that McConnell’s not too long ago launched, I might purchase it–but solely on sale.
