Freestyle frozen yogurt shops may be the rage, but our couple is hitting the grocery stores to search out some good ol’ fashioned and organic ice cream. Whether in a cup or cone, John and Jennifer have ‘the scoop’ on what is delicious this summer!
DOUBLE RAINBOW | FRENCH VANILLA
She Said: Wow, yum! I’m not a “plain-Jane vanilla” kind of girl, but it was hard to put this one down. It only has seven ingredients, and was extremely creamy with a mouth-watering vanilla flavor
She gave it: 4/5 stars
He Said: This French vanilla was excellent! Super smooth and one of the strongest vanilla flavors I have ever tasted in an ice cream. It tasted so rich and homemade that it made me remember the times I wore my arm out churning the old hand crank on the ice cream maker. After these reviews, I don’t think I’ll ever buy non-organic ice cream again.
He gave it: 5/5 stars
ORGANICVILLE | STRAWBERRY
She Said: It was slightly icy, and had only small bits of strawberry. The overall flavor was mild, tasty, but had more of a strawberry and cream flavor. Not bad, but I’d choose a different flavor next time.
She gave it: 3/5 stars
He said: Mmm mmm! This was a wonderful, mellow, creamy and strawberry ice cream with chunks of real fruit, and no pink dye. I had to stop myself from licking the bowl clean.
He gave it: 5/5 stars
ALDEN’S ICE CREAM | PEANUT BUTTER CHIP
She Said: Alden, I think I love you! This vanilla ice cream was rich with buttery peanut butter ribbons and plenty of soft teeny-tiny chocolate chips. It could have been creamier, but I still found it highly addicting!
She gave it: 5/5 stars
He said: This one was a nice surprise. I expected a peanut butter-flavored ice cream with chocolate chips. Instead, I found ribbons of real peanut butter and tons of chocolate chips in vanilla ice cream. In a world full of fake food, it’s nice to find something with quality ingredients.
He gave it: 5/5 stars
STRAUS FAMILY CREAMERY | CARAMEL TOFFEE CRUNCH
She Said:
This one was a surprise. The crunchy salted toffee pieces were MIA, but the overall caramel ice cream flavor was incredibly good! There were creamy pools of caramel that were sometimes too salty, but honestly, I went back for seconds! I couldn’t get enough of this creamy caramel awesomeness!
She gave it: 4.5/5 stars
He said: Who knew an ice cream could be so good and so bad at the same time. The tub says” toffee crunch,” but the crunch guy must have had the day off cause there was none in our tub. There was also a strong salty flavor, which should have no place in my ice cream. So close, yet so far.
He gave it: 3/5 stars
JULIE’S ORGANIC | CHOCOLATE
She Said: I’m a chocolate lover, so maybe I have high expectations, but this one didn’t wow me. It was creamy with a light chocolate flavor. If you’re going to only offer one flavor in an ice cream, it better be amazing.
She gave it: 2/5 stars
He said: You can’t go wrong with chocolate. This one was smooth and creamy with a strong chocolate flavor.
He gave it: 4/5 stars
