** Ice Cream Eating Now Official Thread -- Round 2 **

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they only vote between ice cream members who are part of the consortium??

No USA etc

I wouldn't pay much attention to it, it's a nothing award

Sam's Blackberry Crumble: A+++

Strong, smooth base - a bit airy.

Copious amounts of swirls all over with blackberry bits in it that give it this nice grit and tang to it.

Pie crust all over that bish. Buttery and airy with a nice little delicate crumble to it.

The best in Sam's lineup imo.

B&J Peanut Butter Fudge Core

This was the first of the core flavors I've tried so far. I saw many reviews of people who didn't like the core flavors and this one in general. I'm a huge PB fan and thought I'd love it. What's not to love about a fudge/PB core? Well the mini cups in the pint were good, but I really would have preferred the cups from B&J PB Cup instead of these mini ones. There were a lot of them throughout the pint though, so I cannot complain. I did not like the fudge core though. I'm in the group with everyone else that would have preferred they mixed the core instead of making us do it. Plus it was really hard to spoon the core. It's in the middle of the pint surrounded by ice cream, so it's going to be hard and a bit difficult to spoon. Wasn't a big fan of that, either.

Overall: Disappointed with this pint. I love PB but this pint didn't do it for me and kills the excitement I had in regards to trying the other core pints. I'll give it a B- simply because of the large number of small cups in the pint. If not for those being frequent, it would have been downed a full grade(C-). Will not rescoop.

Yeah, what the other NZ brah said. Nothing much to consider probably. You would expect a lot from such a claim though.

Regardless, will be buying their chocolate fudge flavour next lulz.

[chillaxbroseph]

Was pleasantly surprised by the gigantic swirls of caramel in Sam's SSC. Glad we have a new brand to indulge in.

Can't wait till I'm over the pond next week and hitting up Jeni's in Nashville. Suggestions?

Top 5 B&J would be: Cinnamon Buns, OCC, CC7LB, Half Baked and PB Cup

Need to find myself some HD PB Pie too.

No PB world, clusterfluff, PB jam session etc in the top 5?

[bigdeadlift]

tried hageen daz peanut pie this weekend. ate the pint in one sitting. surprised you guys rated it so highly, it was good but certainly not a top 5 flavor imo. much prefer caramel cone.

^^not everyone here is huge pb fans in general. I've had a pint of clusterfluff in my freezer for so long, half eaten....also was less then thrilled with the Coconut 7layer, and candy bar pie...I usually enjoy more cookie/caramel/chocolate flavors. like cinnamon buns, OCC, have been my favorite B&J's.

Hard not to fall in love with PB World being a PB fan or not. I love PB but am not a What a Cluster/Clusterfluff fan.

lmao call me crazy, but last time I went to target to get a pint it was between pb world and BCG....I ended up with BCG instead.

I think that description is wrong. "Moist white cake pieces and confetti frosting crumbled and tumbled with cool mint and creamy vanilla soft serve." It looks like they forgot to delete the "crumbled and tumbled with cool mint and creamy vanilla soft serve" part from the mint oreo blizzard description for last month.

let us know what you think, just thinking though coldstone has a pretty darn good cake batter ice cream mix why not just go there and get birthday cake remix or thats how i roll signature creation?

would be 5x better than vanilla soft serve/DQ
Cake Batter at Coldstone = Hnnnggg

Would definitely agree with you here.. Coldstone>>>>>>>>DQ .. Only problem is no Coldstone remotely close to me!

Booooooo, my Walmart doesn't have this one or the Raspberry White Choc Cheesecake

But I don't think we have heard your opinion on the others, so do share your thoughts on Coffee, Moose, SSC, and CPB. This goes for any other posters too who haven't shared thoughts on these, since we really only have like 5 reviews on the Coffee and one for all the others.

[jaredmus]

had hazed and confused , its ok nothing to special IMO pb core was better, candy bar pie, and what a cluster and chubby hubby all better PB options IMO

[beastlymandude]

Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter World





First time this has ever been stocked at my Target. The chocolate base was great (a lot better than B&J's normal chocolate) and the pb and cookie swirls were awesome and plentiful. Reminded me of a B&J version of Graeter's Buckeye Blitz and Cookies and Cream combined. I loved this flavor. It's definitely in my top 5. 9.25/10.

Agreed but I'd recommend people try QCC at a scoop shop first because it's definitely different. Loved the flavor but the strong cinnamon taste made it hard to eat more than a few spoonfuls at a time. I think my pint lasted me a week.

[seamus33]

blue bunny flan. B+. of the 3 new mexican themed flavors, this is my favorite. for me, it ranks highly in the low-cal options.

sam's coffee and donuts. A. the base isn't really a dense, premium one. but all the components make up for it. swirl is off the hook. i also had a surprisingly large amount of donut pieces as well (compared to other reviews here, it seems).

b&j's mississippi mud pie. B-. i know i'm late to the party, but i thought this was relatively weak. maybe i need to rescoop, but it sorta seemed like a bastardized version of hal baked.

Ben & Jerry's Gelato!! With Haagen-Dazs, Breyers, and even Graeters getting in on the gelato action, what choice did they have? Talenti has proven it's a profitable market, so who can blame them? The good news is that someone will finally bring mass amounts of mix-ins to the gelato market.

Enough stalling, here's the initial line up.


Figitaboutit
Honey gelato with a caramelized fig swirl and pizzelle pieces

Italian Stallion
Caramel gelato with a salted caramel swirl and fudge filled stallion chunks

Latte Biscotti Crunch
Coffee and sweet cream gelato swirled together with chocolate covered biscotti chunks

Sleeping with the Fishes
Vanilla bean gelato with a river of fudge, white chocolate cinder blocks and fudge fishes

Zeppole for Me
Sweet cream gelato with swirls of pastry cream, fudge flakes and chunks of zeppole

Some of those sound too good!

[The Solution]

The Honey Gelato will be interesting, Ben & Jerry's have never had a "Honey" based ice cream
Their Sweet Cream is mediocre as a base.
Coffee should be good i really enjoyed Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz

the new mix-ins sound good, but again we dont know how dense they truly will be. Wont be like a pint of Graeters where you are striking gold and half inch size mix-ins.

Some of those sound too good!

I'm just happy they aren't releasing any new permanent greek yogurt flavors.
