Crumbl Review: Peppermint Ice Cream Cookie
This one leans heavily into that cool, refreshing holiday flavour, and like anything peppermint-based, the balance is everything. Too strong, and it becomes overwhelming. Too light, and it disappears completely. This one sits somewhere in the middle, which is what makes it work.
The cookie base itself is soft and slightly chocolatey, acting more as a foundation than the main focus. It doesn’t try to compete with the peppermint — instead, it supports it. That’s important because peppermint is naturally a very dominant flavour.
The “ice cream” aspect comes from the topping, which is light, creamy, and smooth. It gives that chilled, almost refreshing feel that separates this from just being another peppermint chocolate cookie. It’s not heavy or overly rich, which keeps the whole cookie from feeling like too much.
The peppermint flavour comes through clearly but isn’t aggressive. It’s more of a cool, clean finish rather than a sharp mint hit. That makes it a lot easier to eat, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t always go for strong mint desserts.
Texture-wise, this cookie is all about contrast. The soft base paired with the smooth topping creates that layered feel, but without anything being too crunchy or too dense. It’s more of a melt-together texture rather than a sharp contrast.
What I like about this one is that it feels lighter than most peppermint desserts. It doesn’t hit you all at once — it builds gradually and then leaves that cool aftertaste, which actually makes it really enjoyable.
Final Verdict:
A smooth, balanced peppermint cookie that feels light and refreshing instead of overpowering. A solid seasonal option.
