It only took forever to find it 🙄
5/10 – well… didn’t live up to my expectations but it’s not bad. I really don’t get ‘flan’ from this at all, at least from what I remember of the authentic stuff I had years ago. I remember rich, smooth, sweet yet slightly bitter caramel flavors. I also remember being in love with the caramel on top. I don’t really get any of that in this pint. Doesn’t taste like custard, barely tasted like caramel, and calling it ‘burnt caramel’ is an exaggeration. It tasted like very faint caramel ice cream, mostly vanilla. The fudge pieces are great, but I only saw a few in the entire pint.
Where I’m really disappointed is the pastry cream swirls. where …where are they?! I legitimately spooned through the entire pint and did not see a single pastry cream swirl. No pockets of it, no swirl, nothing. Just a few brownies and the ‘caramel’ ice cream. I’m incredibly disappointed, for how much hype this flavor was getting. I guess the people hoarding it are welcome to have it.

It looks kinda like Urban Bourbon.
What other ice creams is it comparable to?

It so mid
How does this compare to Fudgy the Whale?
It’s mid imo. Not really defined flavor and mix ins are so so
agreed. very mid. based on the hype in here I was full on disappointed.
It is frickin fantastic! Was finally able to get some yesterday! Yumminesses!
Dang. I wonder if you just got a bad pint? The one I tried had tons of cake chunks, and the pastry cream swirl was both visible and delicious. From the mixed reviews, I’m wondering if there are issues in quality consistency.
Éclair Affair doesnt get enough love imo
Agree. The swirls of pastry cream are a whole lie lol. I bought two pints and couldn’t find a shred of pastry cream in either of them. Not a bad flavor, but I will not buy again.
Texture is only good thing about it. Still love milk and cookies over it
I ALSO COULDNT FIND ANY PASTRY SWIRLS! And i thought I was going crazy and just got a dud pint. So sad 🙁
Yeah there’s no pastry swirls
