Edy's Snickerdoodle Frozen Custard

I'm well on my way to trying all of Edy's Frozen Custard offerings, which have run the gamut from terrible to pretty tasty.  The latest flavor I have for you is Snickerdoodle, which falls on the pretty tasty end of the spectrum.  Edy's describes this flavor as

Snickerdoodle cookie pieces and cinnamon graham swirls are mixed into vanilla frozen custard creating an extra thick and creamy version of the classic cookie flavor.


The vanilla base was pretty good.  Nothing to write home about, but good enough not to distract and bring down the other elements of the flavor.  It was very very dense and thick, much more so than normal ice cream.  Edy's did not pull punches when it comes to the texture of their frozen custard.

There were so many type of cinnamon flavor going on in this custard!  The cinnamon graham swirl had a milder, sweeter cinnamon-sugar thing going on.  I didn't really taste the 'graham' flavor, but I guess the cinnamon flavor was the same as that of cinnamon on cinnamon graham crackers. (How many times can I write cinnamon in one post?  Cinnamon.)


The cookie pieces didn't remind me that much of snickerdoodles.  I'm used to soft, chewy snickerdoodles, but the cookies in this custard were quite crunchy.  They were about the size of a nickel and somewhat infrequent throughout the container.  Also, they had a really intense, spicy cinnamon flavor.  Think hot tamale candies.


It was a little bizarre to have mild cinnamon and spicy cinnamon elements mixed in to the same flavor, but not so unsettling that I didn't enjoy the flavor.  It was just .... weird.

Overall, this flavor was quite nice! Sugar and spice and everything nice, in fact!  Edy's is a pretty decent ice cream for its price point, and the frozen custard line is no different.
