Affogato

 Starbucks is having frappucino happy hour from 3-5 - of course I couldn't pass! I tried the vanilla bean frap since I've been enjoying the flavor very much because of this:

Remember my blueberry crumble post? Move over blueberry crumble! My our new favorite flavor is vanilla bean espresso. It's a mix of vanilla ice cream with an espresso swirl tasting like affogato. so so so good!

For those who are wondering, Mr. P was missing so his good friend Mr. Tomato filled in for him :)

Blueberry Crumble- BEST flavor ever!

Last weekend, we found a new flavor that we now call "flavor of the millenium".... While I was shopping at the supermarket, I see a lady with 10+ pints of this new haagen dazs ice cream and think to myself why on earth would anyone buy more than 3 of the same flavor. Don't you get sick of it? So I tell the hubs about this "crazy" lady with a cart full of same ice cream and now the hubs wants to try it himself. So I walk back to the ice cream aisle, and of course there is no more blueberry crumble (which I really didn't mind since I didn't know how it would taste). So he tells me to go find the lady and steal one from her cart....which of course I did not do. So the next time I was at the supermarket, I was determined to try this new flavor and bought one (I should have bought ten...). Came home and had a bite.....

Oh haagen-dazs! You did an amazing job!! So SO Soooooo good! Blueberry ice cream mixed with buttery crunchy crumbles T.T I die... I wish all the ice cream flavors had crumble pieces inside- vanilla crumble, coffee crumble, strawberry crumble (I should write an email to haagen dazs).

So we got some more and ate some more and now we only have 3 left....T.T  So the next time you go to the market, don't forget to check if they have blueberry crumble-it's a limited edition so you better hurry! Ok off I go to the fridge....

Sweet Treat

We got the dulce de leche caramel dazzler.....Don't get it! They put too much caramel. But the banana was delicious! And of course the ice cream was heaven...

Mango Ice Cream

Ok, so I tried this mango ice cream from haagen dazs, and I usually never look at the nutrition facts or the ingredients, but guess what I found :

Next to ingredients, it says "carrot juice concentrate", but before that it says "pumpkin juice concentrate" (I was stupid enough to cut off the pumpkin part). What has pumpkin and carrot have to do with mango flavor? maybe the color?

The plastic spoon inside is literally just a plastic stick, so I used my own spoon (I miss the wooden spoons). The first few bites were amazing, but after I read the carrot and the pumpkin, it started tasting very vegetably. Next time I want to try the dulce de leche or the passion fruit flavor...has anyone tried it? 

Ice Cream review

I've been wanting to try this flavor for the longest time, and finally tried it! I was expecting some tropical sensationisque sorbet taste, but it was very very creamy with pineapple chunks and coconut bits. I'm not much of a shredded coconut fan (although I love everything else coconut), so I don't enjoy the coconut bits, but do LOVE the pineapple chunks.

I'm still finishing up the pint, so I'm not sure if I'll love it till the very last bite- but you ice cream lovers out there should definitely give it a try! But I warned you- it's very creamy!
