Toscanini's, 899 Main Street, Cambridge, MA
Ginger Snap Molasses Ice Cream
This ice cream was really good. It had nice chunks of soft ginger snap cookie. And the molasses flavour came off to me like sugary caramel, so maybe a little too sweet for every day ice cream. But it was very good.
At Toscanini's website, the first words about the store bring attention to the charities that the store regularly supports. I wish the food industry would have more press recognizing the charitable efforts of most businesses. About Toscanini's
When I was in the store I was also thinking about their burnt caramel flavor, and if there's really any difference between caramel, burnt caramel, and burnt sugar ice cream flavors. From browsing some internet articles, it seems that burnt caramel is similar to caramel. But when the sugar is cooking, it is taken to beyond dark amber and almost black. But the flavor is subtle and wonderful when the caramel is diluted in the milk and made into ice cream.
I should also mention that Toscanini's has some Hydrox flavors. But I didn't try any this round.
Gus Rancatore is the owner of Toscanini's. How fun to be part of an ice cream family! Rancatore's and Toscanini's are both fabulous. Are there more?
