Ice Cream Review: Salt & Straw Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper (8.5/10)
S&S Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper is a gourmet flavor worth savoring. The balsamic vinegar and black pepper work well together to highlight and elevate the strawberry base and strawberry jam swirl.
Ice Cream Review – Van Leeuwen Key Lime Pie (8/10)
The lime flavor popped. And the plentiful, flavorful graham cracker chunks were a lot of fun.
Ice Cream Review – Molly Moon’s Yeti (8/10)
The slightly burnt vanilla caramel, the granola, and the slightly dark chocolate all come together well. I’m reminded of the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever tasted.
Ice Cream Review – Molly Moon’s Scout Mint Brownie
Brownies and mint ice cream are a solid combo, but more mix-ins would make this into a truly premium pint. At over $10 per pint, we deserve a better mix-in ratio.
Ice Cream Review – Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food
Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food is very sweet, almost decadent. I’m not a huge marshmallow fan, but this pint was rich enough to grow on me.
Ice Cream Review -Molly Moon’s Calamansi Creme Cake (8/10)
A delightful, refreshing summery flavor that might be improved with a thicker calamansi curd swirl and additional pound cake chunks. Molly Moons’ blog suggests adding their lemon curd topping, which sounds like a great idea.
Ice Cream Review – Van Leeuwen Chocolate Covered Strawberry (7/10)
The chocolate base isn’t bad. But failing to include chocolate chunks in this pint borders on criminal negligence.
Ice Cream Review – Van Leeuwen Honey Graham Cracker (7/10)
Fairly bland. Could use something additional to punch it up. Maybe a thicker honey swirl that would survive Walmart’s rough treatment, resist dissolving into the base.
