No joke, this ice cream is very minty
If you look at the cup from the side, you can see that the ice cream has several layers inside.
The top of the ice cream is generously topped with cocoa cookies (be careful, they might spill over).
If you look closely, you’ll also notice some chocolate sauce.
The top layer of the ice cream is simple mint with a refreshing taste. Accented by chocolate sauce and cocoa cookies, it’s a flavor that’s sure to appeal to everyone.
Below that is a layer of mint ice cream that’s slightly darker in color, and this layer is intense! It’s by far the most refreshing mint ice cream I’ve had recently. The mint flavor is so strong that you can taste a slight bitterness, and it pairs perfectly with the cocoa cookies.
As you continue eating, you’ll find mint ice cream with chocolate chips. The combination of the perfect amount of mintiness and the crispy texture of the chocolate creates a delicious treat that both children and adults can enjoy.
The top and bottom layers are safe bets for chocolate mint ice cream, but the middle layer might be more polarizing. For the record, I personally enjoyed the refreshing taste of the middle layer.
