7-Eleven Fudge Marshmallow Ice Cream

When you combine a very solid base with two great compliments you piece together a fantastic ice cream offering. The "Cocoa" labeled base took me by surprise with flavor as I would rank it up there as a premium chocolate base. This is no Jeni's do not get me wrong, but the sheer amount of richness in the chocolate is great. The Fudge ribbon packs a turkey hill like swirl that has a bold hershey chocolate syrup flavor. The marshmallow swirl is very light in texture, and has a nice creamy compliment to the bombardment of chocolate. If you are a Chocolate lover who enjoys marshmallow look no further. This brought me back to my campfire days of melting marshmallow's between two hershey chocolate bar's.

I am going to scoop the 7-11 Ban Cream Pie either this weekend or next weekend. Based on your experience with 7-11 pints so far would you buy anymore to try, Smores perhaps?
 
If you go to 7-11 grab B&J Nutty Caramel Swirl, especially if you like Snickers. One of my favorites.

This is the kind of info I need!!! Love Snickers lol. I'm going to see how the Ban Cream Pie is first and maybe scoop one or two more mid-October if I make it back to the US.

Edit: I went to a 7-11 in Canada the other day near the border just to check if they carried them and ..... Nope! This country blows!
Americans please protect us from the terrorists, they hate sugar.

Yes I know, but my question was would you consider buying any pints from the brand in the future (whenever that may be) but nvm I will make up my mind based on my experience of Banana Cream Pie.


You reviewed 2 on ICI forums ( Double Cookie Dough - B & Fudge Marshmallow - B+)....brb going to the eye doctor to adjust my prescription ;)

i have not even tried 1/4 of the line, i am not going to judge a book by its cover before getting into more flavors. Let me crack a few more of these pints before i make my final decision/say.

Thats like going to Ben&Jerries and trying a few flavors before saying if the brand is good or not. Too many different options, too many different people with different taste buds.

I know PBI loves the banana cream pie, but a few others gave it bad reviews. If i had that first and did not like it then i may not suggest the 7-11, but again time will tell. Since it is raved the best i am saving it for last. Which makes me want to pick up Banana Cream Pie from handels to compare to it.

I thought halo top vanilla was good. Just imo
Click to expand...

eh..
You tried Graeters? that is phenomenal for a vanilla.
Halo Top was chalky and bland IMO, but again your eating a high protein and 60-70 kcal serving ice cream. Can't expect it to taste awesome or compare it to a sugar laced real deal full fat butterfat ice cream haha

I have never tried Halo so no idea how that tastes. But I did have a high protein, lower cal ice cream a few years ago called YoPro. Although it was okay tasting I would think you are better off making homemade protein ice cream. You are not going to be able to duplicate most legit ice creams.
 
I read a review of a Pumpkin ice cream on OSS. At the end he listed his top 5 PP flavours and it is pretty interesting...

Talenti Pumpkin Pie, Homemade Brand Pumpkin Pie, Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake, Turkey Hill Pumpkin Pie and then Stewart's

if its close to coldstone its F'in Epic
Very heavy on the pumpkin pie spices and a good libby's pumpkin aftertaste. a top 3 pumpkin flavor of mine.
Handles being #1, and Jeni's #2.

Then again they do have some great things you can mix with it too, but as a stand alone its pretty damn good.

I don't think ownership is the same but you are definitely right in terms of the concept, most of the products & ingredients etc

You can't even compare graeters to halo... One is low cal the other is a calorie bomb.

For what it is, halo is spectacular.
 
NYC people: Van Leeuwen vegan ice cream > Graeter's. Trust. Unless you're a mix-in whore, then just go to Ample Hills, where it's damn near 50/50 mix-ins to ice cream.

Steve's Whoopie Pies & Sweet Cream Ice Cream

Invalid Link Removed

Invalid Link Removed


I would be mistaken to say this was not a home run. From first bite to last bite I was surprised at how well Steve's flavored a Whoopie Pie in ice cream form. I could honestly say they could call this Chocolate Buttercream Cookie Sandwich. Due to how thick and dense the ice cream and mix-ins are it almost seemed like a cookie more than a whoopie pie. When I think of a whoopie pie i think of it being much softer in texture that melts in your mouth compared to cream filled cookie. I have seen reviews where people got next to nothing mix-in wise in this offering, but mine was the complete opposite experience. I would rescoop this in a second! Head to Whole Foods or your local Co-Op and buy this now

Grade: A+
 
7-11 Brand: Yum! Banana Cream Pie

Even since The Solution posted pics of 7-11 brand pints he picked up I was skeptical. Up to that point I didn't even know 7-11 they had their own brand, but didn't have high expectations being a convenience store.
After reading a couple of reviews I decided to try one. I grabbed Banana Cream Pie on my way back from Buffalo a few weeks ago.
Invalid Link Removed
The base has a nice banana flavour and is super creamy. 7-11 did a great job of replicating the banana cream pie flavour, it's pretty authentic imo. The pie crust pieces are soft and chewy. There is a decent amount but as always I want more! If there was more mix-ins it would be an A, but a solid B+ nonetheless.

Debating whether to try s'mores or that caramel nut flavour that is supposed to be like Snickers.
I'm sitting on over a dozen pints right now so I really should hold off.

Plus last night I get home to a voicemail from Marble Slab - Pumpkin Cheesecake is ready to scoop. Fuk!

PB World
oatmeal cookie chunk
What a Cluster/ClusterFluff

Still remain the GOAT top 3 IMO
Everything But the shortly behind because i am a mix-in junkie.

What a Cluster might be my all-time favorite. I thought Candy Bar Pie was great while it lasted too.

Have to agree with CBP, possibly my #5 favorite, tough to tell could go many ways with what is out there and what the individual likes
I wish they made Coconut 7 layer in pints. that was a very good flavor if you like coconut.
 
My top 5 BnJ list:
1) PB World
2) PB cookie core
3) Candy Bar Pie
4) Cinnabuns
5) PB Half Bsked

Did not like Clusterfluff/what a cluster?
You never had Oatmeal Cookie Chunk did you?

I have never tried either of those. I do have cotton candy and Boston cream pie in my freezer though.

That tops CnC, & Buckeye? Son...
Click to expand...

Yup! I like it better than buckeye, serious. To be fair i have only tried a sample of the CnC at the scoop shop in OH, never a full pint. But Bourbon Pecan Chip beats out Choc Shoppe Ultimate Oreo imo.

I love the huge chocolate chunks and copious amounts of nuts in the Graeter's BPCC. As I have said before, calling them chips is pretty misleading for first time scoopers lol.
 
I feel like caramel will be the larger flavour hit and an undertone of a Belgian ale flavour (could be anything, but i assume they will try to intelligently pair something with the caramel.

I just wish the pint could get me drunk too ;)
