Cookie Dough ice cream
Chocolate Ganache ice cream
I finally visited Smitten Ice Cream, a popular ice cream shop with multiple locations throughout the Bay Area, two weeks ago. They're known for serving small batches of fresh ice cream made with a customized machine that employs liquid nitrogen.
We tried two flavors when we stopped by their Rockridge location on College and Birch: Cookie Dough in a cone and Chocolate Ganache in a cup. Both were smooth in texture and consistency, and did taste specially made. While the chocolate was very, well, chocolaty, the Cookie Dough had good-sized chunks of the namesake ingredient. (I do wish there was more cookie dough though!) Their cones were also quite good—who doesn't like a homemade cone?
If you've visited Smitten Ice Cream, what do you recommend trying?
