Why the cropped crappy pic???
Because I literally demolished this and hibernated!
The other day I went to a Whole Foods across town was able to find some flavors I never see around here. My first rendezvous with this brand was such a heartbreak with their lemon marionberry flavor. I simple hated it. I couldn’t even finish it and it sat in my freezer for weeks. I ended up giving it to a kiddo and almost writing off this brand forever. At this price point, it’s so hard to gamble, especially considering how bad I hated it the fist time.
Hopped up on nitrous, a sore mouth, and fragile ego, I decided on betting again. This time, pocket aces baby!
Rarely ever do I finish a pint in one sitting. I cracked it open and smashed it. I took one pic halfway through and it’s like I was transported into another space and time…
Growing up, I had a bougie, rich, functional alcoholic Aunty. She really peaked at the end of the disco era and carried that fabulousness with her through the rest of her life. She had an incredibly stocked liquor cabinet with all the barware and condiments you could think of. Gold rimmed glasses, etched crystal, and two mini fridges chocked full of anything and everything alcohol and snacky related. Obviously I was not a privy to the hard stuffs, but I was welcome to use her fancy glass, make mocktails and add whatever fancy non alcoholic things I wanted. One of the things I cherished were these little cartons of frozen strawberries she kept year round. She’d let me eat a whole box if I wanted to, and I often did. As a poor kid from the slums, I felt like a rock star those summers with her.
Well, this ice cream brought me back to that time. Big chunks of frozen strawberries swimming in the most delicious shavings of chocolate I’ve ever had in any ice cream. The base is so subtle but perfect. Every ingredient tastes real, and curated.
If ice cream could be besmoke, then you it Baby!!!
Everything just works and it works beautifully well. I’m in love 💕💕💕
