I was very underwhelmed with my latest purchase from Page. The Hot Nancy B - a great concept with warm chocolate chip cookies, hot fudge, ice cream, and whipped cream - suffered greatly from a lack of execution in three of the four components. Page continues to have the best texture of soft serve ice cream around, hands down. The flavor and sweetness were lacking which provided a very weak base for the rest of the sundae. The fudge, although deep and luxurious in appearance, again lacked flavor... it's amazing what a little salt and sugar could do to transform this into something great. The whipped cream is left unsweetened... this is a great concept to contrast a sundae that is exceptionally sweet, but in this application it simply fell flat. The cookies were far and away the best component... a thick and crispy exterior with large, melting gobs of chocolate inside and a balanced sweetness to contrast the thick, velvety ice cream.
This will not prevent me from returning, but I hope the next time is a bit more satisfying.
