The Original Crinkles from Baking Memories by Chef Chris takes us back to where the local culinary legend made its mark through the kitchens of ADB. Then Executive Chef Chris Anthony's fresh baked creations soon became one of the metro's best kept secrets. But you just can't keep a good thing a secret for long, and soon the word spread becoming a viral sensation growing beyond the exclusive fan base at ADB. The humble origins of the chewy and moist cracked chocolate cookies dusted with confectioners' sugar can be traced back to a school canteen in St. Paul, Minnesota from the early half of the 20th century and we've seen countless variations since. But Chef Chris clearly made it his own ranking high up as among the very best in the metro. These "ADB" cookies have become part of the culinary mainstream and the collective memories of countless fans.
And it's easy to see why these Original Crinkles from Baking Memories by Chef Chris continue to be well-loved through the years. Soft, chewy and moist with the deep rounded notes of chocolate followed by an indulgent sweetness with each bite, the Original Crinkles from Baking Memories by Chef Chris remains the undisputed standard setting it far above the rest.
But Chef Chris isn't done just yet, now offering a full range of creative renditions and inventive flavors anchored on the original crinkle cookie. Take the Ube Crinkle made with local purple yam. The distinct notes of ube brings a flavorful depth to the cookie for a refreshingly unique experience. It's a novel twist on the original, replicating the same nostalgic and homespun vibe but with a comfortingly familiar local spin.
Just how far can you push the creative envelope with crinkles? Chef Chris explores flavorful possibilities with his latest range of fresh-baked expressions reflecting his mastery with the enduring and timeless crinkles through his innovative new offerings. The Salted Caramel Crinkle is one example, taking the traditional cookie to the next level with its luscious salted caramel filling. That's right, your favorite chewy and moist cracked crinkle cookie now comes with a filling of salted caramel for an imaginative and decadent rendition from the endless bag of tricks of Chef Chris.
The deep and robust notes of chocolate and familiar textures remind us why we love crinkles, but it's the salted caramel filling that simply elevates the experience for an indulgence unlike any other. Chef Chris pulls all the stops with the Salted Caramel Crinkle...
...with each contrasting note complementing the other in a sweet and salty finish smoothened by the caramel filling. That's pure indulgence in every bite.
Baking Memories by Chef Chris has even more flavors in its arsenal of nostalgic goodness. The Strawberry Crinkle and Calamansi Crinkle brings vibrant notes to the palate for a novel twist on the traditional crinkle. That bold citrusy burst of calamansi drapes the palate with its fresh and clean notes capped by the familiar texture of the much loved crinkle...
...while the Strawberry Crinkle offers deep sweet and tart flavors that can only come from real strawberries. The Strawberry Crinkle is exclusive to one of the sellers of Baking Memories by Chef Chris, Crumbs and Grubs known for their specialty strawberry pastries (for more on Crumbs and Grubs, see my previous posts Welcome The Bigger and Heavier Strawberry Crumble Pie by Crumbs and Grubs, Just In Time for CNY and Valentine's from early this year, All Boxed Up and Delivered to Your Doorstep: Burrata, British Sausage Rolls and Strawberry Croissants from Crumbs and Grubs from 2021 and Spreading a Whole Lot of Love with Healthy Choices Made Easy by Crumbs and Grubs from three years back). Both variants bring unique and fresh flavors to the repertoire of crinkle goodness from Baking Memories by Chef Chris.
And there's more. The delectable duo of Jack Daniel's & Cherry Crinkle and Peppermint Crinkle presents even more interesting flavor combinations in crinkle form. The tart and vibrant notes of real cherries are given a flavorful depth by the subtle sweetness of the famous Tennessee whiskey for that elegantly balanced finish while the pronounced upfront hints of the peppermint and chocolate combine for festive holiday flavors.
Rounding out the collection from Baking Memories by Chef Chris are the Coffee Crinkle and Nutella & Almond Crinkle with deep indulgent notes guaranteed to please your palate. The long journey that began with the Original Crinkle back in the ADB days of Chef Chris has grown and evolved with some unique creations through the years and this year's collection has to be the very best yet from the commissary of Baking Memories by Chef Chris.
Take the Nutella & Almond Crinkle, a soft and moist cookie topped with shaved almonds and filled with the popular hazelnut and cocoa spread for another lavish and creative rendition of comforting indulgence. The play on textures and flavors all come together with each bite, draping the palate with its lingering richness.
A bite reveals the decadent filling completing the flavors followed by the subtle sweetness of almonds. Time to bring out a pot of freshly brewed coffee...
