Cremissimo Chocolate with Choc Flakes

What is it?

Flakes rather than chips, which is a meaningful difference in a chocolate tub. A chip is moulded and stays waxy in the cold, where a flake is thin enough to shatter and break down as the ice cream softens around it. That gives two textures from the same ingredient, brittle at first and then dissolving. Against a base that's already chocolate, texture is the only variable left, since a second chocolate flavour would simply be lost inside the first. Cremissimo is the smoother, denser end of Streets' tub range, and this is its darkest flavour. There's no caramel, biscuit or nut anywhere in it to cut against the cocoa.
