Talenti Peach Cinnamon Peach Biscuit
Has anyone else noticed less and less Talenti on their grocery store shelves? Just me? A lot of what was once Talenti real estate at my local Cub Foods and Target is now given over to Halo Top (grrrr), and I JUST NOW found Cinnamon Peach Biscuit which was new last year.
Cinnamon Peach Biscuit is cinnamon sugar gelato with biscuit cookies and a sweet swirl of peach butter.
God damn Talenti and their weak-ass mix-ins!! I get that gelato typically as smaller, more well-distributed mix-ins, but Talenti's mix-ins, aside from their chocolate chips, are just so weird! The biscuit cookie mix-ins were small, about a quarter-inch in diameter or a bit smaller, and there weren't many of them, maybe one every other bite. If the cookies were decent, I could live with the poor distribution, but they were so dry and tasteless! It honestly would have been a better flavor with no mix-ins.
As usual, the Talenti texture was stellar - dense and smooth. The cinnamon flavor of the base was very strong, but it was a warm rather than a spicy and sharp cinnamon so it wasn't overwhelming. After a few bites, the flavor of the peach butter swirl blended with the cinnamon base. It was a great complement. The peach butter was cool and juicy, perhaps juuuuuuust bordering on too sweet and too juicy, but not at all artificial.
I'm only rating this 🍦🍦/4 because I'm so angry about the stupid mix-ins. Without the cookie pieces, or with better cookies, this would be an easy 3-coner. Maybe even a 3.5-coner.
