The Unofficial Ice Cream thread

Sometimes I am skeptical on lower calorie ice creams
Scooped New Orleans Rum Raisin and was blown away for 140kcals/serving.
Get the review up tonight. Had almost 2-3 dozen raisins packed inside the pint.
 
Coming soon to online retailers and in stores (mostly just around New Orleans ATM)

Po-Boy sandwiches in Creole Cream Cheese & Vanilla

Should be online for sale within a month and in more stores around the southern area in 2-3 months

Overall I had skeptical hopes as I do with most low caloric based ice creams. This pint is 140 calories per serving. The only other time I was blown away by a low calorie ice cream was Gelato Fiasco's Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel, but needless to say this lived up to its name and was fantastic. A solid base that has a strong flavor, plenty of mix-ins, and a nice hint of cayenne. While the uniqueness of this pint may have won me over, this may be hit or miss for other individuals. I would re-scoop this in a heartbeat.

Grade: B+

They will be available for online purchase bud. I talked to their owner Adrian today, don't know if stores in US ship to Canada, but they should with Dry ice it should hold.

My assumption is always no shipping across the border for perishables.

The dry ice may hold for a pint, but likely not sandwiches. Also there may be border restrictions that make infeasible or impractical due to price.

I totally understand what you're saying but the point I'm making is simple:

He wants cotton candy.
The other brand DO NOT MAKE IT.
He HAS TO buy Walmart brand.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the ice cream, the name, the brand, whatever. It's a matter of supply vs demand.

I smashed that pint on Saturday ... thoroughly enjoyed it! Very thick and rich. I would agree with Bob's review on ICI, maybe even an A-.
The only drawbacks are the lack of mix-ins and the price.

Price is not a factor when you can get it in columbus

Buddy that lives there is grabbing me a pint of the new Graeters Seasonal flavor = WINNING
While there is no mix-ins, the base is FIRE! would rescoop!

Did you not read my post? I was talking about the price of Gelato Fiasco. ;)

Forget travelling to Canada. What about other countries? No desire to go to Europe or Caribbean ?

If i am drinking ice cream, then I am doing it wrong.
Frozen right out of the pint

Some people who microwave ice cream boggle my mind.

microwaving ice cream is a thing?

I mean I know it's scooped on top of warm desserts sometimes but that's more for a hot & cold combo.

Sriracha peanut? Sounds terrible

Have you tried the Jenis Bangkok Peanut?? It has a pb taste up front and the spice kicks in after a few seconds, really unique and very tasty.

This is a great choice IMO. Btw, FU The Solution - super jelly. The mascarpone would have also been one I would choose.
 
Correct
And jenis Queen City cayenne
Steves Mexican chili chocolate

I assume the heat will be minor to the peanut base loaded with peanut mix
Ins

These flavors got the best reviews and the sriracha peanut you cannot get in stores or it's the aims butter chocolate chunk I forget

Nick from OSS told me about the limited flavor and the shipping was only 14$ and a coupon for ordering

Pretty good considering the deal

These also got the best reviews for flavors
The truffles are massive in the raspberry

A lot of the reviews are on On second Scoop

Talenti Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Gelato

Invalid Link Removed

Invalid Link Removed

Overall its a good pint, but its nothing to go nuts over. Oatmeal Cookie Chunk if it were still out reigns supreme over this one by a margin. The base is good do not get me wrong, it just has a stronger cinnamon and brown sugar taste to it as the oatmeal cookie flavoring of the gelato fades. The raisins were a bit of a let down, but the oatmeal cookie chunks made up for it in the end. Would I Re-Scoop? Possibly, but Salted Peanut Caramel was better. I have yet to try Hazelnut Chocolate Chip which gets the most rave of the new flavors.

Grade: B-

It has been in my Walmart for almost a year now, and they cant sell it or get rid of it (srs)

PB pretzel / Brown Sugar blondie may be scoop shop exclusives or exclusives to the UK/Australia. you guys have some flavors we do not in the united states

^^ they are not on the ben and jerry site so i am going to guess exclusive to some countries.

Deceptive marketing? I think so. Probably wouldn't be an issue if it was good.

Maybe next week going to scoop my Brown Sugar a Whisky pint from Lake Effect.

They will not
They already stated why and I posted it about 6-7 pages back

The cost to
Buy the cookies they used in OCC rose in cost and they did not want to pay the money for them anymore hence why OCC is now in the grave yard

Ben and Jerry did not want to use a lower grade cookie which altered the flavor and mix in for the pint
