Review

Strawberry Ice Cream: Rich, smooth, and creamy, without a hint of ice. A strong strawberry flavor, not too sweet, but fruity and refreshing. A touch tart, almost a cream cheese or cheesecake flavor note, from the strawberries themselves, but also perhaps from the buttermilk listed in the ingredients. The tart balances the sweet for a concentrated but real, not artificial, strawberry flavor. The base lacks the typical bright pink artificial coloring, instead in color it’s more of a beige.

White Chocolate Blondies: Tiny blondie bits—crumbs—are everywhere throughout the pint. My serving has a few medium-sized chunks and two larger, chewy, crispy-edged blondie pieces. The blondies provide nice texture contrast against the smooth base. No white chocolate was detected however. They are quite sweet though. Perhaps the white chocolate melted entirely into the blondie when it was baked, adding more sweetness. A few more blondie pieces would have leveled this pint up. A premium pint at a premium price better bring the generous mix-ins. Just sayin.

Overall: Humphry Slocombe Strawberry Blondie features a delicious, creamy strawberry base and a fair amount of blondie chunks, some chewy, some with crispy edges. The pint is also full of blondie crumbs that don’t register much against the base flavor, instead providing some background texture. It’s good, enjoyable, worth a sample, delightful when I dig into a big blondie chunk. But I’d add a point and include this in my regular playlist only if there were more—and bigger—blondie chunks. At $12 per pint via Goldbelly, the mix-in ratio needs to be generous to justify another purchase of this same brand and flavor. 7 of 10.
