The Unofficial Ice Cream thread

Limited Batch of 40 Pints of a B&J Flavor:

Invalid Link Removed

Ben & Jerry’s co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield introduced Bernie Sanders at his campaign launch in Burlington, Vt., last year, and now they’ve introduced “Bernie’s Yearning,” a new, extremely limited-edition ice cream flavor inspired by the Vermont senator and 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful.

Cohen said he produced a limited batch of 40 pints — 25 of which will be donated to Sanders’ campaign.

In 2009, Ben & Jerry’s produced a flavor, “Yes Pecan,” honoring President Obama’s historic inauguration and featuring “Amber Waves of Buttery Ice Cream With Roasted Non-Partisan Pecans.”
 
Ample Hills Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

Ample Hills took a basic vanilla ice cream, added a simple compliment and struck gold. Full of flavor, full of richness, and full of sugar and fat. What else does America thrive on? This is why we are such an obese country. Basically this pint is the famous Paula Dean butter cake recipe, chop it up, and throw it into an ice cream. Take the very smooth and creamy consistency that Ample Hills brings to the table and you get a great 1-2 combination. As I dig deeper into my AH order I am finally seeing the quality they bring to the table in the ice cream industry.

Grade: A-
 
I had comfy cow southern jam cake yesterday and was very impressed. Nice subtle caramel base...absolutely loaded with BlackBerry jam cake (I'll get a pic up soon) and even a small BlackBerry swirl and only 210 cals per serving

They are releasing SuperBowl Pints and a special Valentines day pint
Something related to Denver and Carolina ... no word yet on it. My buddy who lives in NYC told me he spoke to one of their managers

Similar to like what they did for Star Wars and releasing the light/dark side.

Denver Broncos: Rocky Mountain High — Our version of Rocky Road made with Colorado's Left Hand Brewing Company Nitro Milk Stout in a chocolate ice cream, with mini marshmallows and peanut-stuffed brownies.

Carolina Panthers: Jes' Pie — Our take on a southern classic: the chess pie served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. We're baking a rich chocolate chess pie (a custard pie made of eggs, butter and sugar) and folding it into a vanilla bean ice cream.

Ample Hills Snap Mallow Pop

Ample hills takes a very simple flavor, a great concept, and puts it together to form a childhood favorite baked good. The marshmallow base feeds off the butter aspect of baking a rice krispy treat. While most people consider marshmallows sweet and dense, Ample Hills still provides a creamy and unique base of marshmallow ice cream. The massive amount of rice krispy mix-ins just further enhance this offering and live up to the Ample Hills name of thick mix-ins and high quality ice cream.

Grade: B+
 
Ordered the new flavors, snap mallow, munchies and butter cake, will try one when they arrive on Tuesday most likely....but which one :-)
 
Ample Hills Butter Pecan Brittle

The Homemade Brown Sugar ice cream and Pecan brittle really are a great one two combo. Not only is the flavor of the ice cream so rich you could eat it solo, the inclusion of the homemade pecan brittle is brilliant. Combine Sugar and butter and pecans with an already sweet and delicious base and you get a high quality offering from Ample Hills. The Thick and dense mix-ins on top of a bold ice cream base really separate this as a good flavor from Ample Hills.

Grade: B

Will try one... But not expecting much. Other almond milk ice cream attempts in store were pretty bad IMO.

Had the chess pie.... base was great, simple vanilla bean but done to perfection, large buttery chess pie pieces. Not a whole bunch but what we're there were large.... for overall quality,, A but overall product, B+ ample Hills has better offerings but this was still great
 
Down to my last couple Handels pints, sad times :baby:

I had their Egg nog tonight, damn! It is just a plain base with no mix-ins but still a great pint. The egg nog flavour was on point! It tasted exactly like egg nog spiked with rum.

Beig a mix-in junkie I could not just eat a plain base lol. I cut up a gingerbread pop tart and a few mini gingerbread twix bars = A+
