Olive oil cake was one of the Shake Shack custards we were really looking forward to because of the unique flavor of olive oil desserts that we've had before. We only had one option to try this custard - today - so we definitely wanted to try it.
M's thoughts:
I've had olive oil gelato before, which was kind of sweet like an olive oil candy, but it was the type of thing that I liked in small doses. Too much olive oil gelato was a little bit overwhelming. I was curious to see how Shake Shack would handle an olive oil cake flavored custard. It was good - very thick (although it didn't seem like there was any cake mixed in), rich with olive oil flavor, but not overly candy sweet like the gelato I had before. I'm not sure how much of this I could eat, since I think it's still the type of flavor I appreciate more in small amounts, but I would recommend it.
A's thoughts:
I think I had some sort of olive oil ice cream or cake at some point once before, but I really can't remember what it tasted like. This custard tasted really good. It was a nice olive oil flavor sweetened nicely but not overly sweet. Even though it's an olive oil cake, there was no cake. However, it almost tasted like there was cake batter in the custard. This was really tasty, and I would certainly get it again.
