AMAZING
1st FLUFFERNUTTER SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
The amount of creamy and savory peanut butter flavor packed into this is insanity. This was a peanut butter bomb mixed with some vanilla custard and marshmallow cream. This was the ultimate sweet treat, a shame this was a weekly special and not a menu regular!!!
2nd HALF BAKED ICE CREAM
Ben & Jerry’s, Waterbury
A beautiful combination of vanilla and chocolate ice cream further accentuated by chunks of brownie batter and cookie dough. An incredible creamy base with soft and chewy globs of baked goodies make this one of the best experiences ice cream has to offer.
3rd DARK CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIE
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Denver
A stellar ice cream with perfect blending of multiple chocolate flavors without being too overpowering. Creamy, savory, yet light.
4th BROWNIE BATTER SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
Holy. Cow. This shake was insane. This was like drinking a liquid brownie. Could. Not. Put. This. Down!!! The little chunks of brownie were exquisite, what a delightful weekly special!
5th MALTED CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHUNK
Purple Door Ice Cream, Mequon
An incredibly smooth ice cream with a chocolate malt base with dark chocolate fragments blended in. A lovely flavor profile that isn’t too sweet, and the malt flavor really makes this a special and novel ice cream.
6th CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
Sweet Abilities Ice Cream, WI 53202
Oh my goodness!!!! So creamy and the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolate, this freshly made, no preservative/artificial ingredient take on chocolate ice cream is NOT one to miss!
7th BLACK COW
Out & Out, Cedarburg
This was like drinking straight Sprecher root beer in ice cream form. Simple, straightforward, and incredibly good!!!
REALLY GOOD
8th PUMPKIN SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
I would have maybe wanted a touch more pumpkin flavor from this, but this was a delightful weekly special with wonderful tones of pumpkin and caramel with the vanilla ice cream! Very smooth and homey!
9th REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER KUPPS
Kopp's Frozen Custard, Glendale
A decadently smooth vanilla custard blended with Reese’s peanut butter cups to add fragments of hard chocolate and creamy peanut butter as fun texture differences packed with flavor. Very good and looking forward to nibbling on the pint for the rest of the week!
10th BLUEBERRY MUFFIN SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
The blueberry puree gives a great fresh flavor to the vanilla ice cream, and the texture from the blended cake batter gives yummy and chewy little surprises. Very good!
11th CHOCOLATE MALT
Out & Out, Cedarburg
Really good chocolate malt! Perfect balance of the malt flavor!
12th INDEPENDENCE FLOAT
Out & Out, Cedarburg
Frozen lemonade with cherry and blueberry flavored stripes, and a great homage to American Independence! A very sugary and fruity sweet treat weekly special! 🫡🇺🇸
PRETTY GOOD
13th MINT OREO SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
While the mint flavor as a whole was perhaps a little lighter than I would've liked, this was still a delight to consume. A slightly larger straw to handle the chunks of crushed Oreo would have gone a long way to eating this easier, but the flavor of the mint with the vanilla custard with the crunch of the cookie and the spots of Oreo creme, this was a very good weekly special!
14th BROWN SUGAR COOKIE DOUGH BROWNIE
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Denver
Nice creamy richness with a ton of flavors going on all at once, but maybe too much going on in one ice cream.
15th CHOCOLATE THERAPY SHAKE
Ben & Jerry's, WI 53202
This was a very "run of the mill" shake, hindered by the inability for the cookie chunks to get through the straw. A frustrating eat with average chocolate flavor. The whipped cream was... very bad. Great ice cream base, but cookies and whipped cream are a total miss. Note: this was not what I ordered, and I have aimed to review what I received without the bias of my frustration in not receiving what I ordered.
16th DIRT CAKE SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
There was just something off about this one, perhaps the marshmallow cream and the Oreos being two separate cream flavors wasn’t agreeing? It was good chocolate ice cream, but also the cookie bits tended to get stuck in the straw, making this difficult to consume at times. A good weekly special, but not 100% there.
17th FRENCH TOAST SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
A very sweet and savory shake with a sweet brown sugar cinnamon flavor with a hint of maple syrup. Good, but slightly drowned out by a slightly dull vanilla ice cream.
18th S’MORE SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
This accurately got the flavor of a s’more right on the nose. The problem for putting it in ice cream form lies in soggy graham cracker bits. Taste: good. Mouth feel: not good. Overall: fine. Another worthwhile weekly special from the venue, but not as good as some others.
19th CINNAMON BUN
Out & Out, Cedarburg
A relatively fine vanilla-based shake highlighted by the accents of brown sugar cinnamon and pieces of cake batter. An overall solid shake but not brimming with flavor like other top tier ice cream options do.
20th COOKIES AND CREAM
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Denver
Creamy and sweet but would've liked a bit more cookie flavor
JUST OK
21st PEANUT BUTTER BROWNIE HONEYCOMB
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, Denver
Nice blend of flavors on paper, but in practice falls a bit short. Honeycomb really offers just an icy crunch. Ice cream is just lacking flavor.
NOT FOR ME
22nd KEY LIME SHAKE
Out & Out, Cedarburg
This was sadly inedible from an overwhelming amount of lime juice. A rare miss by Out & Out, this just was not meant to be.
