I saw the $2.97 price tags for these and thought that was super cheap. Then I saw there are only three bars per box, which made me think they’re still super cheap. The three ounce bars are the same size as regular Magnum Ice Cream Bars. (Spotted by Amanda Y at Walmart.)

REVIEW: Blue Bell Cookies ’n Cream Cheesecake Ice Cream

Denis 2 Comments

If you browse through a supermarket, or indeed this very website, you will find all kinds of products with outrageous names and flavor combinations designed to get your attention. But oftentimes those foods don’t live up to their overly creative monikers, or shockingly, it turns out that pickle and onion-flavored gummy bears are not good. So, I routinely give Blue Bell credit for its straightforward names and flavors, and once again it has scored a winner with its new Cookies ’n Cream Cheesecake Ice Cream.

Certainly, this flavor is not revolutionary, as Dairy Queen has an Oreo Cheesecake Blizzard, and you can find many similar ice cream flavors from other brands. What it is, however, is mighty tasty. The label doesn’t overpromise, but it does excellently deliver what it promises: cheesecake-flavored ice cream with chocolate cookie-crusted cheesecake pieces and generic Oreo.

The cheesecake ice cream is wonderfully smooth and creamy. It packs enough cheesecake flavor so that you know it’s there, but it doesn’t go overboard. Sometimes an ice cream flavor is too strong, to the point that you forget it’s ice cream or it’s too mild, and you can barely tell what the flavor was supposed to be. This one hits the right balance. Then when you do chomp down on a cheesecake piece, you get the full-on cheesecake experience, and it really hits the spot. Their texture is also spot-on, as they are not too firm but also not so soft that they blend with the ice cream. The fact that the pieces are chocolate cookie-crusted is hard to notice since there are already chocolate crème-filled cookies in the mix. And I’ll assume you know what those cookies taste like and how they are a perfect complement to cheesecake.

This ice cream is not fancy or flashy, but if you enjoy cookies ’n cream and you enjoy cheesecake, then I can almost guarantee you will enjoy this—and perhaps really enjoy it. Just be aware that my guarantee is not legally binding in any way, shape, or form, and if you printed said guarantee out on a piece of paper, it would make that paper worth less than its original value.

Cheez-It Hidden Valley Ranch Crackers.

There’s a Hidden Valley Ranch Cheez-It Dressing, so it makes complete sense that there are Cheez-It Hidden Valley Ranch Crackers. But how to they taste together? (Spotted by Ann at Jewel Osco.)

I thought Uno Pizzeria Deep Dish Pizzas in the freezer aisle was something new, but a quick Google search tells me it’s not, However, I guess it’s new to Walmart and they come in a brighter redesigned box. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)
