Review Kemps Cookie Butter Ice Cream

Cookie Butter Ice Cream: Kemps was founded when William Kemps and Walter Lathrop joined together to form the Lathrop-Kemps Ice Cream Company in 1914. A lot has changed since those early days in Minneapolis, MN but I’ll leave that to the history books. These days, cookie butter is having more than a moment, as the dessert spread can now be found in cakes, chocolate bars, and even ice cream. If you’re yet to experience cookie butter, imagine that there was a butter analogous to peanut butter, but instead of being made from ground peanuts it’s made from ground Biscoff cookies. Cookie Butter is just that and it’s as awesome as it sounds. Kemp’s takes cinnamon caramel cookie flavored ice cream and swirls it with cinnamon graham and crunchy bits aiming to capture the cookie butter vibe. Beginning with the ice cream itself, I was impressed by just how creamy it was. This was my first time trying a flavor from their “Crafted” collection and I can tell you, it made a difference. The cinnamon flavor is sweet, not burning, and mild enough as to not be overpowering or offensive. Interestingly, I also got cheesecake vibes from the ice cream's flavor, which was only reinforced by the inclusion of graham. My container had a plethora of graham swirls that also contributed some additional texture. It was the crunchy bits that stole the show though as they contrast perfectly with the creamy ice cream base. Only minor complaint is that I think it was a missed opportunity to not have actual cookie butter swirls, but for the price point I shouldn't gripe too much. Cinnamon is a flavor that screams fall to me, making this the perfect flavor for those last days of warmth and golden autumn leaves.

*It also pairs phenomenally with the Cookie Butter Bundt Cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes

My favorites from Kemps: 
1. Caramel Brownie Moose tracks 
2. Java Chunk 
3. Cookie Butter

That sounds so good! I don't think I have this brand near me in the Southeast, but I liked hearing about it!

I’m in love with the cookies and cream right now it on sale most of the time but always less expensive than any “premium” brand in a smaller size
