Timpfreeze Pineapple Soft-Serve with Toasted Coconut Dip Cone
On my second trip to Timpfreeze, I decided to try a dip cone. They have vanilla and pineapple soft serve and tons of different dip options. The ones I remember are chocolate, cherry, butterscotch, and toasted coconut. There were definitely more options, and they have more listed on their website, but I don't think the website menu is 100% accurate.
If someone offers me butterscotch I'm literally incapable of refusing, so I originally ordered a vanilla with butterscotch dip cone. Unfortunately the butterscotch dip had come out slightly burnt, so I instead went with pineapple and toasted coconut. So summery!
Individually, the toasted coconut shell and the pineapple soft serve were great, but it didn't turn out to be a great combo. The toasted coconut shell was amazing and would get 🍦🍦🍦🍦/4 cones on its own. I love toasted coconut because the toasting process takes away the tiny hint of sunscreen that un-toasted coconut has. It was just the perfect, delicate toasted coconut flavor. Also the shell was hard enough to keep the ice cream contained, but didn't splinter into a million pieces, which can make eating a dip cone very stressful.
The pineapple soft serve reminded me more of pineapple juice than the pineapple fruit itself. It had more of a concentrated sweetness and less tartness than an actual pineapple. The flavor was bright and vibrant and actually overwhelmed the toasted coconut a bit.
As for the combo, I think a normal coconut shell would have worked better than the toasted coconut shell. The toasted coconut was more of a 'warm' flavor where the pineapple soft serve had more bite, and this flavor combination doesn't often work, as was the case here.
I'm giving this concoction 🍦.5/4 starts; however, this is in no way the fault of Timpfreeze. Each element was good, but my combo choice was so-so. A different combo would have scored much higher.
