Pumpkin Cheesecake

My third concrete mixer was pumpkin cheesecake. It is fall and Culvers was offering some pumpkin flavored treats. For the past couple of years, I have made a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving, which has been a big hit. As a result, I decided to try it as a concrete mixer.



It was good. Just the right mix of spices and pumpkin. The cheesecake pieces add some good flavor. Overall, not as good as the real thing.

Vanilla, Marshmallow, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

My second concrete mixer was vanilla, marshmallow, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. In 2006, Hershey released a limited edition Reese's Peanut Butter Cup with marshmallow.


It had been a few months between concrete mixers, and I had forgotten the fact that the marshmallow does not add any extra flavor.  Reese's Peanut Butter Cup blizzards have always been one of my favorites, and the concrete version did not disappoint.

Vanilla, Marshmallow, and Hot Fudge


The first concrete mixer that I had was vanilla, marshmallow, and hot fudge. The idea was to replicate dipping marshmallows in chocolate.


The marshmallow gets lost in the vanilla custard base, so it just tastes like a hot fudge sundae. It was good, but nothing special.
