![]() Not only the wide variety of flavors amaze me, but also the flavors on offer. Offering more than just scoops of ice cream, there is a huge assortment of ice cream cakes, ice cream floats and shakes, ice cream crepes, and even ice cream pizza! It is served in a cup or cone, or you can upgrade to a waffle cone. You can choose between single, double, or triple scoops. Regular is 1.6 times the kids size, and king is 25% more than the regular one. The ice cream scoops are in three different sizes: kids, regular, and king. As to why it is known as Thirty-one and not BR in Japan, it is still anyone's guess. The number is part of the company's logo, which stands for 31 days in a month, whereby you can have a different flavor every day for the month. ![]() Most countries refer to the chain as Baskin Robbins or BR for short, but in Japan it is more commonly known as 31 (Thirty-one). This would have been a stronger scoop if BR went harder on the swirl and stuck to just one base, but still, the caramel vibes do come through.Ĭaramel Cream Puff is a unique and pretty well executed scoop that’s a very welcome breath of fresh air for the 31 flavored brand, and while it’s not stop-in-your-tracks fantastic it’s one that’s worth a trip to the shop during the last full month of summer.Baskin Robbins is a well-known ice cream chain that originated from the USA and has a presence in almost 50 countries worldwide. Towards the bottom I got more of the salty caramel ice cream and can confirm it’s pretty lackluster, and while there actually was a decent ratio of it in the scoop I didn’t taste it too much because of how mellow it is. Whispy and slightly syrupy the caramel adds an extra hint of sweetness and gooey texture that compliments the density of the base really well. I wish I had gotten more burnt caramel swirl, but what I did get was tasty. The pastry pieces are nice and chewy, but much like the outside of an actual cream puff or eclair they don’t pack much flavor. They crunch and crack with awesome deep burnt sugar flavor and a perfectly stark textural contrast to the rich mousse. The dopest part of this flavor are the burnt sugar crystals, which taste just like the caramelized top of a crème brulee. The salted caramel ice cream, at least in this scoop, very much played the supporting role with just slight caramel tones peaking through the mousse, which is a good thing because I’m not a huge fan of BR’s Salty Caramel base. The mousse texture stands out along with pronounced creamy vanilla notes for a very unique base that’s both delicious and accurate. The pastry cream-flavored mousse has an intense richness and hearty fluff to it that really does remind me of the inside of a cream puff. In addition to the cool new cup, this cool new scoop is pretty damn satisfying as well. The blue on blue is a nice switch up from the vibrant pink and I like the cooling aesthetic. Caramel Cream Puff combines salted caramel ice cream and pastry cream-flavored mousse ice cream with burnt sugar crystals, pastry pieces, and a burnt caramel swirl.įirst things first – Baskin Robbins have changed their cups, and when you live in my funny little universe that kinda feels like a big deal. ![]() ![]() This month’s new-new is pretty intriguing, putting a frozen twist on one of dessert’s finest and fanciest finger foods. Maybe I just got spoiled since this blog launched in late 2016 but four retreads in a row feels like an awful lot, especially since three of them were just from the year prior and not a shadowed fan favorite like Oreo ‘N Cake. Finally, for the first time since April’s Boston Cream Pie we have a new Baskin Robbins Flavor of the Month.
