I’ve never really thought about it until recently, but does coffee ice cream have caffeine? Well, it does, according to the internet and my bloodstream, which is circulating caffeine throughout my body as I type this at around midnight after eating a few scoops of Tillamook’s latest flavor \u2014 Espresso Chip.<\/p>\n
I could use some Melatonin Mint Ice Cream, Tillamook.<\/p>\n
The limited edition flavor combines rich espresso ice cream with crunchy, chocolatey espresso bits. I don’t recall ever having had a bad Tillamook ice cream flavor; I’ve only had great flavors and those that were good, but could’ve been better. And I feel this is another good flavor that could’ve been a little better, or perhaps I should say a little bitter.<\/p>\n
Almost every coffee-flavored ice cream I’ve tasted had a strong and sweet taste that could give you coffee breath. However, the base in this Espresso Chip tasted a bit mild compared to the others. The coffee is present, and it’s very similar to those other ice creams. However, using the word “espresso,” I was expecting it to be a bit more potent and possibly more bitter than a standard coffee-flavored ice cream.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But it wasn’t just the ice cream base that was milder than expected; the same can be said about the espresso bits. I’ve crunched on many chocolate-covered espresso beans in my caffeinated lifetime, and I know they tend to bring it when it comes to coffee’s flavor and bitterness. However, while I had hoped the ones in the ice cream would compensate for the mild base, they ended up being almost as mild. I thought they did kick up the bitterness a minuscule bit, but maybe that’s just my taste buds forcing me to believe they were, but actually weren’t.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If one or the other were stronger, I could forgive this ice cream a little bit. But because both are almost equally mild, it’s disappointing. It’s a limited edition flavor, so it’ll eventually disappear from shelves. But if it returns, I hope it gets reformulated with a stronger ice cream base or stronger espresso bits or both.<\/p>\n
Now that I’ve gotten all my complaining out of the way, I’ll still finish this container in a timely manner. It’s good. It hits the coffee flavor, it apparently gives me caffeine, and the espresso bits add a crunchy texture to the party. However, I wish the party were louder.<\/p>\n
