You! You are responsible for a tub of Black Cherry Amaretto Gelato in my freezer.
My house was freezing last night so I didn't have any but will give it a go tonight. And it is YOUR fault. (it was also on sale at the store, woo hoo!) |
Why would anyone resort to Hagen Days when you can get Blue Bunny?

I did try Blue Bunny ice cream (a restaurant nearby replaced "Blue Bell" with it because of the listeria situation). I had never heard of it, and thought it was a "Blue Bell" knockoff. It tasted like a knockoff to me - I wasn't a fan. But I was surprised to read that it's the 3rd largest ice cream manufacturer in the USA. |
I find it concerning that Haagen-Dazs brands their product as a premium ice cream but one of the first ingredients on the label is skim milk. Skim milk doesn't have nearly enough butterfat content to produce a rich and creamy consistency. The water content in skim milk will produce an icy texture. When I make ice cream myself I use a combination of heavy cream and half& half with the heavy cream being the higher proportion. I just don't see the point in paying a high price for a product that uses subpar ingredients.

This from someone who claimed not to have bought a tub in years. I admire your will power, but it was apparently no match for my endorsement.
Still haven't had it, too ruddy cold! Had a hot bath and wine last night for supper! Will try over the weekend to give it a go! |

I really love Macadamia Nut. But why so hard to find in the U.S.?

It's not hard to find in Hawaii. Then, of course, there is this:

I eat a few mini containers on a long layover in the IBERIA Dali lounge.

It's OK, but I find it is way too sweet for me.
