What is Milk Bar Gingerbread House Ice Cream?<\/h3>\n

This festive flavor is an on-brand addition to Milk Bar\u2019s lineup of quirky-but-upscale re-imaginings of nostalgic desserts. Between the chunks of gingerbread cookie, brightly colored candy \u201cgems,\u201d and sweet bits of icing, this gingerbread-flavored ice cream is more filled than Santa\u2019s sleigh.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Milk<\/p>\n

My first bite of pure ice cream was pleasantly milky with a hint of spice \u2014 tasty, but not quite something to write to the North Pole about. The cookie that I secured in my next spoonful packed a much stronger punch of ginger flavor, with an interesting consistency more solid than cookie dough but not as firm as an actual cookie (a bit reminiscent of a Ben & Jerry\u2019s mix-in).<\/p>\n

\"Milk<\/p>\n

When I found some icing next (the white color is surprisingly hard to identify in the tannish ice cream), its burst of sugariness was much more flavorful than the bland, just-for-show icing I typically associate with gingerbread cookies. Like the cookie crunch, it also brings a textural surprise \u2014 it doesn\u2019t appear in the thick, creamy spirals illustrated on the pint, but rather as a series of squarish shards more similar to pieces of white chocolate.<\/p>\n

On their own, these ingredients were tasty though not particularly thrilling. But when I finally scooped up ice cream, icing, and cookie all together, the sweetness of the icing and the spice of the cookie contrasted very nicely, and the rich ice cream was a satisfying backdrop to hold it all together.<\/p>\n

\"Milk<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, and I guess the candy gems were there too. They just didn\u2019t add much more than a pop of (admittedly welcome) color.<\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

In case you missed the banner on the pint saying so four times in a row, this flavor is seasonal, so be sure to grab some before it makes like a Christmas tree and leaves.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Filled with cookies and icing, Milk Bar Gingerbread House Ice Cream\u2019s blend of sugar, spice, and everything ice is sure to end up on the nice list.<\/p>\n
