You might of recalled me going on a lol fat binge on a Thai Iced Tea Ice Cream by Full Tilt Ice Cream, a local ice cream brand in Seattle, WA. It is time for LOL FAT II! It is time for delicious Seattle Chai Ice Cream from Full Tilt Ice Cream!
Chai ice cream? Are you betting it is just an ice cream with some chai spice in it? Nope, there is tea in the ingredients list!
Looks so far unimpressive compared to the Thai Ice Cream’s crazy orange colour. The Seattle Chai looks pretty boring with just vanilla coloured ice cream with maybe some flecks in it.
Tastes… OMG OMG OMG. This is chai! The spice level is moderate, I can taste a sharp ginger, nutmeg, cardamon, coriander, and a spicy finish of black pepper. The ginger is the stronger spice here, you might mistake this one for gingerbread. I can taste some tea, it has a bit of a malty essence to it, but the sweet/cream is more potent. This one isn’t as sweet as the Thai Ice tea.
What makes this ice cream good is the spices taste great and fresh. This ice cream is even better than some actual loose leaf chai teas out there. Good job Full Tilt!
I cannot choose a favorite. The Thai Iced Tea ice cream is really good and but this Seattle Chai Ice Cream is fantastic too, it depends on your tastes.
If you make it to Seattle, I found Full Tilt Ice Cream at grocery stores like PCC and Metropolitan. Full Tilt Ice Cream also has physical locations (psssst, close to Floating Leaves Tea!). It is on the pricey side of around $5 a pint, but worth every spoon. There’s no photo evidence this time that I ate the whole pint, regardless there was no regrets.
