Ice Cream Review – Van Leeuwen Blood Orange Chocolate Chip (7.5/10)
Van Leeuwen’s Blood Orange Chocolate Chip is a pleasant flavor for a warm day. The base is nice and creamy.
Ice Cream Review – Van Leeuwen Red Velvet (7/10)
For some people, red velvet cake is nearly a holy sacrament. But not for me. To me, it’s just a mild cocoa-flavored cake with red dye and cream cheese frosting.
Ice Cream Review – Molly Moon’s Black Powerful (8.5/10)
An enjoyable, unique pint that balances sweet and bitter notes. The generous cookie crumbs almost make it into a cookies-and-cream flavor.
Ice Cream Review – Van Leeuwen Strawberry Shortcake (7.5/10)
The total effect of this pint is blander than I hoped. The shortcake chunks are fine, and their amount is sufficient.
Ice Cream Review: Molly Moon’s Brown Sugar Blondie (7/10)
The brown sugar base is premium quality, a nice blank canvas for mix-ins, if a little subtle with the brown sugar flavor. And the blondie chunks are good too. But there just aren’t enough of them to justify the price of this pint.
Ice Cream Review – Molly Moon’s Munchie Moons (10/10)
Molly Moon’s Munchie Moons has a generous amount of quality mix-ins—just look at those cross-section pics—and is probably the best Molly’s Moon’s pint I’ve ever tasted. The sweet cream base is good quality—sweet and simple—a perfect platform for the delectable mix-ins.
Ice Cream Review – Acme Valley Mixed Berry (7.5/10)
While Acme Valley Mixed Berry is good quality, it is a one note flavor. Including some mix-in—for example, pie crust pieces, butter cookies, or chocolate chunks—would elevate this pint.
Ice Cream Review – Acme Valley Salted Caramel (8/10)
I have to admit I do enjoy caramel ice cream and caramel flavors generally. And I enjoyed this pint pretty well. The base and the caramel swirl are both premium quality.
