Blue Bunny Chocopolitan Ice Cream
chocolate, white chocolate, and dark chocolate ice cream
Awwwwww, how cute!
Ok, the dark chocolate is kind of like an old school jello pudding pop.There's a wateriness to it as well. The white chocolate is creamy tasting and akin to other white chocolate ice creams. More specifically, it does make me think of the new magnum white chocolate tub which I thought was too strong in flavor & sweetness. Last is the "plain" chocolate which also tastes kind of watery. I guess it's good that it's not gummy, but it does seem like a possible formula change.
If you mix them all together really well, it tastes like chocolate mousse. The exact notes are a little off (little worse) than a real chocolate mousse, but it is similar. There's just a bit note of watery fudge pop that is throwing me off on this first tasting. Also, that bowl disappeared awful quick. I probably should have went with a third big scoop in the bowl but we were headed outside (aka I'll probably have another bowl later in the evening)
On Second Scoop: I tried having just some chocolate and white chocolate (so sans dark chocolate) and it reminds me of something.... like some kind of Hostess treat but I can't quite put my finger on it. --- ok, I have a helpful take away for you no matter how you mix and match the three chocolates. So this ice cream seems to lack the gums and stabilizers that are riddling it's competition, but it still feels... different. If you want to make it a bit more normal, just add some whipped cream. I know that's technically cheating by the usual OSS rules, but hey, it happens.
Verdict? meh
Buy Again? probably not
My kids and I had this a week ago. We actually thought the dark component overshadowed the others. We were also lukewarm about this. There was not enough contrast, like in a neopolitan, to truly make anything stand out. I won't buy it again. We followed it up with a Market Pantry caramel brownie moose tracks. I had never had that combination before, and we enjoyed it more.
ReplyDeleteYeah, precedence might not have been the right word. I think the white chocolate is the most unique of the three, like you can always taste that sweet white chocolate note always trying to sneak in to your scoop.
ReplyDeleteHave you had a chance to try Baskin Robbins flavor of the month?
ReplyDeleteMy company moved so instead of being 10-12 minutes away it's now 35-40 minutes away. Basically I'm done Baskin-Robbins review for awhile. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAh im sorry to hear that. Must be a bummer.
ReplyDeleteJust a note to Endless Universe--I've had BR's Boston Cream Pie April flavor. If you're wondering, it's awesome.
ReplyDelete@Endless: yeah, it's disappointing, but at the same time, it saves me from the frustration of going there and them only having the flavor of the month half the time.
ReplyDelete@May: Thank you. I was wondering if they did a good job with that flavor. Ill have to give it a try, especially with so few days left.
ReplyDelete@Dubba: Oh yeah that's right. I remember you mentioning your BR was usually late with flavors of months. The distance is a benefit in that case at least. And there are plenty of other brands with new flavors turning up recently.
My daughter and I tried this last night and absolutely LOVED it! We both felt it was amazingly delicious! We agree that you can taste each individual flavor of chocolate. Will be buying more for sure! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy husband thinks whoever thought of putting these 3 flavors of chocolate together should get a raise and a promotion. Needless to say he loves the Chocopolitan!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS CHOCOPOLITAN, ITS FABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteBLUE BUNNY only makes two real ice cream flavors: Vanilla bean and peppermint stick. The rest are all FROZEN DAIRY DESSERT. If someone tells you there is no texture and taste difference between frozen dairy dessert and real ice cream. they are lying. Blue Bunny is now an inferior product.
