Overall if you are a pumpkin fan this is a must there is no question. The creations are great because you can mix and match what you want to throw in there. The graham cracker pie crust is small but adds a great texture and after taste to the pint, the caramel is very dense and thick and provides a great swirl like feature like you would find in many pints that you buy in the stores. Lastly the Brownies were overwhelming in size and in taste which added a good flavor to the final product. I could of opted for the whipped cream, but that is a little basic. Others would have threw in some kind of almonds or nuts to compliment the pumpkin, but others can throw in whatever they do like. In the end it is whatever you enjoy and why coldstone is nice because you customize it to your liking. Pumpkin Fan's get to coldstone for how dense this flavor is, and how much cinnamon/nutmeg and spice you can taste in each bite it will be well worth your visit.

Fuk nuts....
Brownies, Cookie Dough and PB Cups are king for mix-ins regardless of flavor!
 
Made a Chuck roast in the crockpot with diet cherry drpepper onions red potatoes and carrots needed a little more salt but other than that it was quite good and next time I won't forget to grab celery at the grocery store.
 
Sounds good!
Still need to get around to trying the diet soda cooking

Sounds like some heat!
 
Hmmm.

I have diet dr. Pepper
Coke zero
Diet A&W root beer
Diet carbonated lemonade (maybe + lemon juice with chicken)

Experiment time this week
 
Dont matter which one you use.. Dr Pepper/coke zero or root beer all work great with pork IMO

just cook for 8-12 hours on low, then pull out and add your own BBQ or whatever you want.
 
Chicken breasts + sliced crispin apples + sliced onion + apple cider + paprika + apple cider vinegar + crockpot = delicious pulled chicken sandwiches
 
What does the soda do? Something with the carbonation penetrating through the meat?

Coolhaus Mintimalism Ice Cream Sandwich
Double Chocolate Chip Cookie + Dirty Mint Chip Ice Cream


The outside cookie like the SnickerDoodle is absolutely fantastic. The Double Chocolate Chip Cookie is very dense in chocolate flavor and has small little flecks of chocolate chips in the cookie which give it an incredible double punch before you even get to get into the Dirty Mint Chip Ice Cream.
I am not really a big mint fan, but this kind of reminds me of a weaker Jeni's Mint flavor in their new signature mint cookie. This did not remind me of a thin mint in all reality this was overpowered by the strong Double Chocolate Chip Cookie and the mint that came in as a strong after taste that was shadowing in flavor. While the Chocolate and Mint Combo is good, this one ranks second behind the snickerdoodle.

Coolhaus Caramia Lehrer
Snickerdoodle Cookie + Sea Salted Caramel Ice Cream


The soft, gooey cookies retained somewhat of a doughy feel and were packed with cinnamon sugar flavoring; an aspect that was only amplified once the salted aspects of the caramel ice cream came into play. Each bite brought together a plethora of tastes and textures that were very well balanced. The cookie to ice cream ratio in the sandwiches of Coolhaus are ideal in our eyes and include enough enough ice cream to offset the use of two cookies. We loved the previous two combinations we've had from this company, but the salted caramel and snicker doodle duo is the best we've had up to this point.

The mint cookie (the double chocolate chip) = Deadly good. The mint from Jeni's = Better as far as mint goes
This cookie = Better than Jeni's Macaroon.

Overall this is a solid pint, not to mention it only cracks in at 210 kcals a serving which I found is pretty typical for Private select not a very kcal dense offering. The overall base is superb, its not cream of the crop like I had when I was it from the original place who made Huckleberry Ice cream, but it is pretty close and gives it a good replication. A very sweet and dense huckleberry flavor, with amazing Pie/Graham Cracker Pie Crust Pieces that give it the perfect compliment in this offering. If you like Huckleberry or never have tried it this is a unique fruit and if you ever venture out west you may fall in love wit it because they put it into truffles, ice cream sandwiches, and also milkshakes that are to die for. I highly suggest this offering if you have never tried a huckleberry and are a fan of strawberries or blueberries or a mixture of both.
