![]() ![]() Rating: 8 out of 10 (Salted Caramel Truffle) It’s captured lightning in a bottle with the kind of deliciousness that gives me the excuse to eat the whole pint because I don’t want to ruin it by dumping it in a bowl. The texture of everything is perfect, which I would think is incredibly difficult to mass produce and keep right on shelves and in freezers at home! But, Talenti has done it. Although, like the mint version, I enjoyed the texture, particularly from the cubed-shaped chocolate truffles.Īll in all, I’m kind of angry because this is SO good. Also, I only picked up on the “salted” part of the salted caramel from the truffles below. I enjoy caramel, but the sweetness was a bit too much for me. ![]() It’s like caramel on caramel with the gelato and dulce de leche. This flavor was sweeter than the mint one, but it’s a caramel lover’s dream come true. I did notice that there was a bit of freezer burn around the bottom-most layer, which was the caramel truffles. When starting on the Salted Caramel Truffle, I grabbed a larger/longer spoon so I could get more of the good good. Admittedly, they got a little soggy, but then it became almost like a chocolate cake texture which was I was not mad about. I enjoyed the added textural elements from the chocolate cookies and crumbs as well. I was also amazed that it wasn’t frozen solid. ![]() I love me some good hot fudge, and this did not disappoint. What stood out to me was the delicious, rich fudge. The mint was the perfect backdrop for all the layered goodness. Amazing! My only mistake was that I didn’t use a long spoon. It was just as easy to take my spoon and dig all the way down to get all the layers. The flavor of the gelato itself was the Mediterranean Mint I knew and trusted. It’s surprising how fluffy and light it is it almost didn’t seem gelato-like! In general, Talenti isn’t one of those hard-to-scoop frozen treats, but I didn’t expect it to be like butter. I started with the Mint Fudge Cookie with no rhyme or reason! Because I was worried it would be difficult to get through to all the layers, I began with a meek spoonful of the gelato. So, I picked my favorite gelato bases and ended up with Mint Fudge Cookie (mint gelato, cookie crumbs, fudge sauce, mint gelato, chocolate cookies) and Salted Caramel Truffle (sea salt caramel gelato, chocolate cookies, dulce de leche, vanilla gelato, caramel truffle). The line launched with seven different layer combinations, which made it incredibly hard to pick. It’s all perfectly packaged in the usual transparent, recyclable plastic jar. Each pint has five layers consisting of signature gelato, toppings, and sauces. This innovation is basically a sundae with the visual appeal of a parfait. Summer is right around the corner, and the new Talenti Gelato Layers is the perfect sweet treat to celebrate after a brutal winter – goodbye polar vortex! – and a moody spring that has included snow. ![]()
