The first new custard we tried this month was oatmeal crème pie. As we mentioned in the preview, we were really excited for this one.
M's thoughts:
I haven't had an oatmeal cream pie before so I didn't go into this custard with any expectations. Based on google searches, it seemed like it would be like a whoopie pie but made with oatmeal cookies. I was hoping that this custard would have cookie pieces mixed in but it didn't. Tasting this custard, all I got was oatmeal cookie, kind of like an oatmeal raisin cookie. It tasted OK but I was just hoping for something more unique based on the flavor name.
A's thoughts:
I grew up eating Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies as treats. I loved the chewy oatmeal cookies and the creamy, sweet interior. I had serious concerns about this flavor since I had such fond memories of the actual dessert. My first bite of the custard offered a hint of oatmeal cookie flavoring. It was actually pretty spot on. However, the more I ate, the more it devolved into just tasting more like plain vanilla. The custard itself also was missing that distinct cream filling flavor. I would have preferred trying to make the custard taste like the filling and then crumbling in oatmeal cookie pieces, but I understand that it would probably much more expensive doing it that way. Still, this ended up just being a minor disappointment.
