Vanilla Creams and Vienna Fingers always remind me of my grandmother. Normally, they are not a cookie I would ever buy, but once I started playing around with ice cream flavors this cookie brought back big memories of a mid-day snack with my grandmother in Wethersfield, Ct. while she watched two soap operas on two different TV's at the same time. And that is a whole other story!
1 1/2 Cups of Heavy Cream
1 1/2 cups of Milk
3/4 Cups of Sugar
1/4 Cup of Unsweetened Cocoa
1 Pinch of Salt
14 Chopped Vanilla Cream Cookies
I must say that his flavor does not have quite the same impact the traditional Oreo does. It has not seemed to stop the kids from digging in! To me, the charm of regular oreo is that the chocolate in the cookie makes a great contrast with the Vanilla ice cream. In this flavor, the chocolate ice cream seems to almost overwhelm the vanilla cookie. The overall flavor contrast is there, it is just more subtle.
It is also likely that I won't be doing many more cookie flavors for a while. Not that I have exhausted the cookie recipes, more that I am looking to branch out in other directions for the moment. I expected to start this challenge by going through most of the basics before hitting on more difficult recipes that would challenge the everyday roadside stand. I am barely 20% done. I think I will be returning to cookie based flavors is the Fall.
Enjoy
