** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread **

[zsfoster]

Lol, picked up a pint of CKC an hour ago. Might review it for chad's blog.

Copper Kettle Caramel and Black Hills Strawberry Rhubarb are two of the best ice creams you will ever have. Tons of brownies is excellent, and truck stop fudge is slightly above average.

I'd say that cinches it haha.

[alwaystranquil]

Will buy out all of the Copper Kettle Caramels if they have it in stock. Will be going there again tomorrow.

Thanks brosephs.

Very excited to see what you guys think of the swirl. It's what makes their ice cream special. It tastes like liquified Werther's. As I've said before, it's HD's caramel base + epic swirl + roughly twice the amount of the same truffles used in Talenti's SSC. It's predictably epic.

Grrrr im cutting.

How do you guys fit ice cream int your macros remain leann.... Please bring me to the promised land.

I'm cutting too. It really should just be about whatever works for you. I can fit a couple of servings or a pint into my macros and still be at a deficit for the day, or I can use it as a cheat meal. I usually just eat two meals in the evenings though because of my schedule, which helps with that management a little bit. I like to think of it as just applied common sense nutrition. Obviously, you can't just eat ice cream, but if you understand your body well enough (ie. target macros, food types, and just experimenting with different ideas/theories/approaches) you can find a balance that includes food you enjoy.

That being said, this thread is about ice cream, not nutrition.

chillaxbroseph, I'll have to let you know what I think about Copper Kettle Caramel, but I have great expectations for it.

Dug into Safeway's premium PB Cup ice cream. This thing is ridiculously calorie dense but oh so good. It is PB ice cream with swirls of PB and PB cups in it. The PB swirl was amazing, and the cups were really good. My only gripe with it is the cups are not as big as the ones in B&Js, so B&Js PB Cup is still #1 but if you like a PB swirl more than cups then this flavor is for you. I highly recommend this flavor, the PB is overflowing in this.







How do you make the images bigger? Mine are so small, can't appreciate the ice cream.

Figure out what the macros of the icecream are.

Depending on the macros, plan what you eat the following day around it.

Or, just take a spoonful and put it back in the freezer and pretend it didn't happen.

Hahahahaha i do that all the time.

So they had CKC, Black Hills Strawberry, Butter Almond, and Truckstop Fudge.

Due to not having a freezer able to properly keep the icecream frozen, I can only buy 1 that I eat day of. And this may be a blessing in disguise, because after finishing Copper Kettle Caramel, if I had more I'd be ripping the lids off right now.

I have yet to try Talenti's SSC, but this stuff is setting the bar high for it to surpass. The amount of mix ins in this pint is cray. The icecream was creamy and perfect and the syrupy caramel made it hnnng.

Here's a pic of how insane the mix ins are, there was literally 1 or 2 pieces in every spoonful:

[chillaxbroseph]

51 truffle mix-ins in my pint of CKC last night. Nearly broke my record. I have some money shots I will post when I'm home, if I can figure things out. I know a number of you can't see the pictures I post.

[chillaxbroseph]

Nope. Just counted as I went. Not that people who microwave ice cream are in a position to question any of my idiosyncrasies.

thank god...also, not sure if you are insinuating that I microwave ice cream, because I never have and never will.

[chillaxbroseph]

Nope, just saying that there are people with truly worrisome quirks that you should direct your annoying nut misc. style nitpicking at, and that you're no authority on how to eat ice cream.

I don't know what your point is taking issue with me in the first place and derailing the thread. This isn't a nut misc. callout thread. Shut up and talk about ice cream.

When I take the time out of my day to prep a review so others can make an informed decision about something, I expect more than a snarky response.

Here's a hint: you don't need as much protein as you think you do.

I’ve frequently criticized Jeni’s on this forum, mostly for being too expensive, but my recent experience at one of their scoop shops significantly changed my perspective on their products and offerings. The bottom line: if you enjoy Jeni, it’s absolutely worth it to pay for her products, but only in moderation.

The biggest advantages that Jeni offers over any other ice creamery is diversity and uniqueness. No two flavors are remotely similar (unlike B&J, Graeter), and almost all of their flavors a distinctly different from other premium competition. The only drawback with Jeni, is that there aren’t nearly as many mix-ins as the competition, and you will be hard pressed to find traditional ice cream fanatic mix-in favorites at her shop (think peanut butter cups, cake pieces, swirls, candy bars, oreos). That said, her ice cream is so good, you don’t even want those mix-ins.

My recent experience at their shop had me testing around 12-15 flavors, and actually enjoying every single one of them, including the sorbets. During this trip, I only tasted flavors that I’ve never tasted before, as there is no way I wouldn’t pay for something new. Basic overview of what I found to taste good:

Riesling Poached Pear Sorbet- So good my wife purchased a scoop. You clearly taste sweet wine (almost sparkling) contrasted against authentic soft pear. I will personally not buy. 8/10

Dark Chocolate- My current #1 chocolate ice cream. I love dark chocolate over milk, and Jeni somehow incorporated authentic dark chocolate into an ice cream. Rich, premium flavor, and absolutely a must try for dark chocolate lovers. 10/10

Pistachio and Honey- I almost purchased a scoop of this. It tastes as described. You even taste a tinge of salt in the base. Very good and the honey does not overpower, as I feared. 9/10

Pumpkin Curry ice cream sandwich- Yes, he let me try the sandwich. (A $6 dessert). Tastes like pumpkin and curry (minus a strong pumpkin spice flavor) in a sweet ice cream sandwich. Apparently, it’s very popular, but I declined purchasing it because I’ve had too much pumpkin lately. Will buy next year. 8/10

The milkiest chocolate in the world- It’s good. Just a different take on milk chocolate. Doesn’t stand out. 7.5/10.

Salty Caramel- Very similar in color and taste when compared to talenti. This batch, though, has a distinct “burnt” taste to it, in a very good way. It’s a solid choice if you’re riding the salted caramel bandwagon (I am currently in the lead car), but it’s no Talenti without truffles. 8/10

Yazoo Sue w/ Rosemary Bar Nuts- Salty, sweet, and delicious. Will buy in the future if it’s still available. Rosemary is not overpowering. 8/10

Rainbow Frozen Yoghurt- It’s good but not great. Tastes closer to sorbet (a good sorbet) than it does a creamy frozen yoghurt. Has a distinctive tart flavoring with no distinguishable fruit species. 7/10

Lime Cardamon Frozen Yoghurt with Lingonberries- Much creamier than rainbow, and the inclusion of berries makes a more contrasting flavor experience that’s more worthy of a purchase. Excellent choice for fruit lovers. 7.5/10

Coffee- The most coffee-tasting ice cream I’ve ever had. If you love coffee, this is a must purchase. It probably should be called espresso. I would buy it if I didn’t limit caffeine to the morning. 9/10

Maple Walnut- Currently my #2 Jeni’s flavor next to Buckeye. Purchased 2 scoops. Walnuts are salted, as is the base, which amplifies the satisfaction of each bite. The base is a rich creamy base, with few distinct spices of flavorings. Included is a thick maple swirl that doesn’t exactly taste like maple syrup. For some reason it tasted (and felt like) it was closer to maple syrup crossed with dates, as the consistency was thick, almost chunky, and not overtly maple tasting. 9.5/10

Oatmeal Cream Sandwich- The best ice cream sandwich I’ve ever had. I did purchase it. The cookies on this sandwich are soft, buttery, and are the perfect oatmeal cookie (sans raisins). The base is an ultra-creamy vanilla which rivals Hagen Dazs and any other premium brand. 10/10

Awesome man, I really want to check out one of her scoop shops and hopefully will get a chance to soon. Will look for the maple walnut pint next time I'm in BKLYN.

Has anyone ever tried fudging around with the HD URLs?

Caramel coconut cookie (which is a LE Edy's flavor which used to be the girl scout samoas).
Soft serve cotton candy
Caramel Mochaccino
Chocolate covered cherry
Mint to be
Pretty in pink velvet
Cupcake batter

And then I got bored. Dunno if some/most of these are red herrings or not.

Completely agree. Dunno if I ever got round to posting a review on it come to think. Cream, sugar and butter mixed together is kinda heavenly.

A recent scoop is Talenti's Simply Strawberry which I've had my eye out for a couple of months. As usual with Talenti, very smooth, very creamy, and very fruity in this instance.
