Kemps Yo2 Cold Brewed Coffee Frozen Yogurt
Very rarely I try an ice cream that makes me react like this:
Even more rarely I find a frozen yogurt that makes me wiggle my arms with excitement, but I found one in Kemps Yo2 Cold Brewed Coffee Frozen Yogurt. The Yo2 (really 'Yo Squared,' but I'm too lazy to figure out how to superscript, halp plz) line was new last year and intended to be a schmancy, decadent fro-yo line. I'm finally getting around to trying some of the flavors. Ewps.
Cold Brewed Coffee is

Such a boring description for such an amazing frozen yogurt! The cold brew base is exactly what cold brew coffee is supposed to be: coffee with all of the richness and flavor of coffee but much less acidity, which allows the deep coffee flavor to shine through. Some might say, "If it was so amazing, why not make it an ice cream?" I think the frozen yogurt base actually works better than ice cream. As I've mentioned before, Kemps frozen yogurt isn't a particularly yogurt-y frozen yogurt, which is to say it's not particularly tart. Rather, it's more like a less dairy-intensive ice cream. This works well in this flavor because it allows the coffee to shine through without turning it into a coffee-and-cream flavor.
The fudge was equally excellent. It was a true fudge rather than a fudge swirl, chocolate, or a chocolate swirl; however, it was not overly rich and sweet as some fudge can be. The fudge 'swirl' was thick and had a perfect, slightly resistant but not crunchy texture that you want in a fudge. It was also slightly grainy, as if the chocolate wasn't particularly finely ground, not as if it wasn't cooked properly causing sugar crystals to form.
Sometimes there is beauty in simplicity. Often ice cream companies try to make a coffee and chocolate combo or a plain coffee ice cream into something complicated like a mocha ice cream or a cafe latte ice cream. There is definitely a place for these, but it was incredibly refreshing to try a flavor that was simply chocolate and fudge. Two separate elements retaining their individual identities, but coming together to make a flavor whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
This was an easy š¦š¦š¦š¦/4 cones for me, and that's not on the fro-yo-only scale, that's on the regular old ice cream scale.
