I do mean to sprinkle in local ice cream from time to time when I think the flavor (or the visuals) are good enough to be interesting, but then a few weeks will pass and that local ice cream just melts away.... However, I was looking over the pictures from our Friday night ice cream and I was surprised how well they turned out.
Rota Spring Farm Cookie Monster Ice Cream

Back to the ice cream, it looks pretty great right, but did you pick up on the nuance in the description? For the most part, cookie monster ice cream is a blue ice cream (vanilla or sweet cream) with Oreos and cookie dough. Rota Spring Farm is doing it differently, but does it work?
Yes and no. The first scoop of my double scoop was just jam packed with delicious chunks of fresh Oreo wafer crumble. I was like "wow, this is really good", but then I started to revert to my picky self.
Now, had I been super hungry, I think I probably just would have plowed through the second scoop and then gone on my merry way, but I wasn't, and so I started to really miss that second cookie component.
What it may have been is that the swirl was quietly adding extra sweetness, and while the Oreos were very plentiful to start, they were very slowly losing the war against that sugar rush.
To be clear, this is a tasty, fresh ice cream that had a lot going for it, but in hindsight, maybe I should have used my wife's trick and done a scoop of this and a scoop of.... gee, iunno, let me know what you would have mixed it with. I'm also curious what your favorite cookie monster ice cream is. I assume it's one with two cookie components, but let's see what people say.
Foot note: Incase you aren't familiar, Cookie Monster and Monster Cookie are not the same thing. Monster Cookie usually involves M&Ms and some kind of peanut butter based component.
