Ya'll know we had to have a weekly crumbl review going up this week- despite whether you like the KARJENS or not, the Crumbl x Kardashian Jenner lineup this week was too good to miss. The lineup includes: Kris' Classic Yellow Layer Cake, Kourtney's Flourless Chocolate Cake, Kim's Snickerdoodle Crumb Cake Cookie, Khloe's Cookies & Cream Skillet Cookie, Kendall's Cookie Dough Cupcake Cookie and Kylie's Pink Confetti Sugar Cookie.
Because the consensus on TikTok was that Kourtney's Flourless cake was a no-go for all of us refined-sugar-loving-gluten-and-flour-indulging Crumbl peeps, we opted out of hers and doubled up on Kris' cake!
I was excited initially for all of the flavors- I think the variety + assortment they created is a good mix. Each one is different but still all flavors that I enjoy. I'm also always excited for anything cookie dough and the classic butter cake w/ chocolate is nostalgic. Growing up, my mom would always make us those cakes for our birthday so I was the most excited to try those two!
Okiee, let's dive in. Coming in at the top for me are definitely Kendall's Cookie Dough Cupcake and Kris' Yellow Cake w/ Chocolate. The Cookie Dough cookie is delicious- it has a great flavor and texture. Mine was well baked and had a great crunchy texture from the chocolate. I'm not a fan of Crumbl's regular chocolate chip cookie so I think the brown sugar in this recipe really elevated the cookie. The frosting was also very good- a great pairing. Kris' cake is also a win in my book! It's pretty darn close to the classic butter cake recipe with chocolate icing. The cake itself was light, fluffy and moist. I wouldn't be mad if it had a bit more of a butter flavor to it but overall, pretty spot on. Same with the icing- it's rich, fudgey and exactly as we always had it growing up! Very very good.
Next up for me would be Kim's Snickerdoodle! I really liked this one, it's definitely an elevated take on a classic snickerdoodle. I think the added glaze and crumb topping made it go from basic to more memorable. I can take or leave regular snickerdoodle but I'd definitely pick this one again.
I also enjoyed Khloe's Cookies & Cream Skillet. Ya'll know my take on the chocolate Crumbl desserts- usually the chocolate cookies are too bitter for me. When I first tried this, one I had the same thoughts. I did like the cookies & cream topping- very light and fluffy- but the cookie was definitely on the more bitter cocoa side. After trying it again today, it was perfect. Maybe the two needed to marinate overnight?? Lol. All my fellow Oreo lovers will like this one. It's rich but the cream is light and balances it out nicely.
Last up is Ms. Kylie's Pink Confetti Sugar Cookie. At first I thought this was a dressed up Pink Sugar cookie which would be an immediate no for me. I can't do the almond extract- immediately no. Once I found out it's the vanilla sugar flavor, I was on board and I didn't mind this one! I actually love a good frosted sugar cookie. Flavor wise, this one was really sweet but I enjoyed it. I also liked the crunch from the sprinkles. The one drawback was mine was a little too undercooked for my liking. The inside was definitely more doughy and I just didn't vibe with that on this flavor. I should add that we left this one at room temp so I didn't have it chilled which probably was the difference. Normally I like the chilled flavors more and going from chilled to not could change the texture some too.
All in all, a fun week + great flavors! I actually did enjoy all of them which doesn't always happen. I also think changing the box was a cute touch!
Which flavor would be your pick?
