REVIEW: Blue Bell's Crankin' Back the Clock winner, Caramel Turtle Cheesecake. No wonder it won.

I have been waiting on your review for this. Looks awesome, can't wait to pick this up! Thanks Chad.

Talenti Southern Butter Pecan B- Basically butter pecan with caramel swirls. Nothing offensive but nothing to run out and try either.

Boo I thought this was great, especially at 210 cals/serving.

Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Bar A- Dark chocolate coating along with Talenti's awesome SSC base (minus the truffles) = Awesome.

Boo I thought this was great, especially at 210 cals/serving.

It's not horrible but it's nothing to write home about either.

Most of the calorie comparisons seem to be per serving rather than per gram. I assume you're aware that different ice creams define servings having wildly different weights? Or is the volume generally the same, and that's what you're concerned with?

Correct, the servings are all based on a half cup, but the weight varies. The lighter ice cream is roughly 65g per half cup while the premium is 105-110g per half cup.

I've always wondered why there's so little variation in the serving weights across brands. All you ever see is ~65g or ~105g, +/- 5g or so. Don't think I've ever seen anything in the 80-90g range.

If only this stuff had truffles inside, it would have crushed Talenti. Since it has a swirl instead I'd say its tied.

[DJaRiHardstyle]

got my first contest in two days.... somebody suggest me an ice cream to enjoy afterwards, ANY flavor as long as it's not mint

Chocolate. Plain and simple.

This thread is killing me.
Wed-Talenti Sea Salt Caramel, Ben and Jerrys Half Baked Froyo
Thursday- Ben and Jerrys Greek Peanut Butter and Banana
Today- Ben and Jerrys Cinnamon Buns, Ben Jerrys Key Lime Pie (Yes I couldnt believe I found it either why I bought it and tasted great!)
Thats 5 Pints in three days! I eat healthy throughout the rest of my meals and do excersize but still. I had been away from ice cream for like a year and for some reason it tastes like 1000 times better than I remember it tasting haha.
Someone tell me this isnt taking it to the extreme^ Only 3/4s to the extreme because I might have to go back into hiatus until summer. Anyone jam on ice cream alot like alot alot?

2nd Street Creamery 'Tons of Brownies'

I really enjoyed this... base and the fudge swirl were awesome! As previously mentioned, the brownies aren't as chewy (or as big) as those found in B&J's pints, but I still thought they were delicous.

I found Talenti Argentine Caramel today. It's great for those who didn't care for the truffles in SSC. It's only 200cal/serving too.

[The Solution]

Oatmeal Cookie Batter Coldstone with
Peanut Butter Cups, Fudge, Caramel, White Chocolate chips and Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Words cannot explain... absolutely insane.... Asked for a small and ended up filling a large. got to love the coldstone girls and how they hook it up...

Only cost 5$, but i tipped her 5$ as well

[Credz]

^ Looks amazing!

How can you have more than one other meal per day if you kill two pints and only weigh 138lbs? I hope you are bulking...

He probably drinks shakes for his other meals so he can fit ice cream in . Seriously though, if you are doing that, stop.

is the base the same?

[KingJames2012]

It's close. SSC tastes like it has a little more salt but I could be imagining things.

agreed.
i hope thats not the case..

[kidkindacool]

agreed.

No no no no guys dont get me wrong. My meal plans are on point and have been for a long long time. This whole ice cream excursion im on only started three days ago. I weigh 138 because the past year or so Ive been pretty strict and keeping it lean. There was no ice cream ventures or things like that in my diet prior.
Lol I wouldnt just eat a pint and clockout for the day that would be crazy. Its definitely safe to say though that ive increased on working out the past couple of days. Its all alright on this side of the fence no worries.
Im in a F it ice cream is too good lately typa mood.


Edit- It all started with that damn Meals Eating Now thread when I saw a post from Chad and then proceeded to his blog and the rest is history. : )
Man there is some awesome food in there alongside the Sludge thread. I have been reading them daily. Once I hit 50 posts Ill show some stuff of my own!

Going to coldstone this sunday; I'm stoked. I know plenty of you enjoy the oatmeal cookie base and others the cake batter base so I will likely get one of those. Any recommendations for the mix-in combinations I should try? Last time I had a sweet cream base with graham cracker crust, white chocolate chips, and heath bars; it was amazing. Any recommendations for this trip?

Been discussed MANY times in here (Use the search thread function above)

Depends on the base, and what compliments it.

My Fav ---> Cookie Dough, PB Cups, White Chocolate, Fudge/Brownies, Reese Cups, Snickers, Twix etc...

Cheesecake is a very sweet base but good
Cake batter = one of the best
Oatmeal Cookie Batter = My new favorite, my store recently got it so this was my first creation.

Pre-made creations that are solid:
Cookie Dough You want Some
Peanut Buter Perfection

If they have Chocolate Malt -- Try it, very good

Limited Yogurts are very good as well the Banana Bread will surprise you at how good it tastes.
