The Unofficial Ice Cream thread

What threw it off was that they're with the organic foods area.. Who knows how long they've been there

Couldn't resist any longer so I caved in and grabbed the coolhaus molten chocolate cake ice cream pint. I was initially impressed both with the presentation, description and the evidence (clear container) of the amount of mix-ins which were easily seen on the bottom of the pint.

Upon cracking open the pint I was shocked to see large chewy molten cake chunks spread across the top of the pint that were insanely tasty. With that I found fudge clumps and swirls throughout the pint that were delicious. The pint has nice silky chocolate base that almost reminds me of a frozen custard (which is a HUGE plus). This was the best chocolate "everything" pint I've tried to date with an almost overly plentiful Amount of amazing mix ins (which isn't possible, but to each their own)

Grade: A

And yes, there are gooey cake chunks throughout as well :)
 
Dairy Queen Salted Caramel Truffle Blizzard

Invalid Link Removed

Invalid Link Removed

The Sea Salt Caramel's have a nice chocolate shell and are filled with a liquid caramel that melt in your mouth. The Toffee pieces were buttery, thick, and crunchy that provided a great crispy texture to the blizzard. Pair that with chocolate fudge chunks and it was like a diced up brownie mixed into the vanilla soft serve. A Very unique combination dairy queen put together to make one of their best blizzards in my opinion. While I do not think this tops the density and flavor the S'mores blizzard packed, it sure gave it a run for its money. While this is still limited I would suggest picking it up.

Grade: B+

Should I try out Coolhaus or do you recommend something else in VA? Cost is not a constraint lol (biz trip).
 
Jeni's to Recall all products due to health risks:

Invalid Link Removed

April 23, 2015 – Columbus, Ohio – Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has initiated a voluntary recall of all ice creams, frozen yogurts, sorbets, and ice cream sandwiches for all flavors and containers because of the possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The company is ceasing all sales and closing all scoop shops until all products are ensured to be 100% safe.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals infected by Listeria may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, infected pregnant women can suffer miscarriages or stillbirths.
 
Wow.

Multiple companies and occasions now.
Could it have been a mutual ingredient source?
 
Actually quite concerning. The Jeni's I went to looked very clean so never know what you can trust.
Could be a supplier issue too but equally disappointing.

Serious question, if you have a pint of Jeni's in your freezer will you be eating it?

Jeni's 7 Layer Bar

Even though Jeni's is not known for mix-ins this pint is one that separates itself from the pack. Hands down a top 5 flavor next to Brown Butter Almond Brittle, Brambleberry, The Buckeye State, and Buttercup Pumpkin with Amaretti Cookies. The superior milk chocolate base complimented with smoked almonds, coconut, and graham crackers makes a delicious combination. Soon after your first bite of the base alone it leaves you lingering for another. A must try from Jeni's and a superior flavor that is one of their best.

Grade: A
 
Wow, I thought for sure when I clicked this thread it was going to have been started by bob, but I see he was in on first page regardless :D
 
I'll try it tonight.

since Bob helped to ignite my ice cream addiction in a way it was :)
 
One of my favorite exclusives that I don't ever hear mentioned is Nutty Caramel Swirl at 7eleven.

Not sure, but I can't think of any. Candy Bar Pie has a nougat swirl. Big fan of both.
 
I was unaware about that 7 - Eleven flavor. Sounds like it would have a Snickers vibe.

It's been around for a long time. Yup, and Snickers is my favorite candy bar.

Just picked this up from Whole Foods today. Only took a couple bites but so far it's amazing. I think they nailed the cheesecake flavor.

Waiting to see how many brownie pieces are in it though as that will be the deciding factor. I like big pieces and lots of mix-ins.
 
I forget who had it but what was the final verdict on the coolhaus pint? Found 3-4 flavors by me and am debating.
 
It was me, the brownie one was legit! Almost custard like texture too! Next up are the cookie kind for me
 
Sweet. Thanks guys. I'll be picking some up on my next run to the store then
 
Chocolate Shoppe Cookie Dough:

Invalid Link Removed

Invalid Link Removed

As I ventured down the pint I did run into some legit size cookie dough pieces. Small round balls that you would get when making a customized ice cream at coldstone. These were full size balls of cookie dough, that were soft, light, and packed a dense amount of cookie dough flavor. Combine that with a cookie dough base and the flavoring was very strong. Strong enough to the point i questioned if I should pour myself a cup of milk on the side. The liquid chocolate chips remind me of baked chocolate chips biting into a cookie right out of the oven. Melt in your mouth and scattered all over the place. After a few spoonfuls they were hit or miss throughout the pint. Besides only a half dozen cookie dough balls and a lacking amount of chocolate chips this will get a B Grade.

Grade: B
 
Looks like standard cookie dough bites.. Waiting for legit nonuniform chunks of dough to appear in a premier brand ?

Talenti always is, as most gelatos

Really like Talenti

I've only had the caramel cookie crunch and despite everyone telling me it sucked, I didn't think it was that bad lol. Maybe I had low expectations, would rate a B-
 
I have a few unique pints from a local shop in NY area I'll be trying this month. Interested to see how they stack up against the brand names.
 
Archer farms does it right. I like most everything they make... Especially the trail mixes <3
 
Finally found the tonight dough. So psyched

The regular chocolate base is meh from Ben and Jerry Heard the dark chocolate in roasted and toasted is a major upgrade

This. I'm more interested in good mix ins then I am in a great base. Mix ins are the fun part

It looks light on mix ins, you going to try it?

Got this a couple days ago. I really like it, but I really like the other talenti coconut gelato. It isn't mind blowing, but if you like coconut flavors and you like talenti you'll like it. I felt there was plenty chocolate pieces, they were in every bite and you'd have to try to avoid them to not get any.
 
Aus has that,

US has Arctic Zero and Wink

Canada has nothing

yea but i don't there's no Aldi's in WA yet and also it's limited edtion. i wish we could get the snickerdoodle skinny cows i really wan't to try them only been on the caramel ones lately. i don't really mind low calorie ice creams just makes for nice mental rewards when dieting.

Canada has free healthcare, therefore you don't need to diet. When you have a heart attack from getting too fat on ice cream, you're covered...
