REVIEW: Blue Bell Cinnamon Twist Ice Cream

Life is stuffed with troublesome choices. For me, few are tougher than…pint or half-gallon? Sure, I’m speaking about ice cream container sizes. It’s fairly a conundrum after I see a brand new taste within the grocery retailer freezer. Ought to I save a couple of dollars and simply get a pint, or be a excessive curler and pay up for the half-gallon? It’s not even the cash a lot. Anybody can energy by way of a subpar pint, however when you get a half-gallon that’s full of disappointment, then it simply sits in your freezer till that day many months later once you lastly open it once more to see it has turned an odd coloration and appears just like the panorama of Siberia. The rationale for this assessment’s unnecessarily lengthy introduction is that I confronted that call when shopping for Blue Bell’s new Cinnamon Twist ice cream. I’m glad to report that I properly selected the pint-sized model.

In the event you love cinnamon, as I do, you may assume that is the right concoction with, in response to the bundle, “brown sugar cinnamon ice cream with cinnamon bun dough items in a cinnamon icing swirl.” This ice cream is definitely not dangerous, and when you break into my home in a pair weeks to steal it from my freezer, it should in all probability be passed by then, however I don’t remorse not going all in on the half-gallon.

The spotlight of this ice cream is the cinnamon bun dough items. They’re about the identical dimension and form as the assorted kinds of dough items that Dairy Queen makes use of in its Blizzards, and they’re fairly tasty. They’re tender and chewy and have a contact of granular texture that basically says sugary cinnamon bun dough. Nonetheless, its buddies, cinnamon ice cream and cinnamon icing swirl, type of miss the mark. Fortunately, the dough items have been plentiful, however the taste was missing after I acquired a chew with out a kind of great nuggets. And a style of simply ice cream with no bun items and no icing swirl had solely a faint trace of cinnamon taste.

Once more, this ice cream is okay but in addition forgettable. If the label guarantees three totally different sorts of cinnamon, then it results in the expectation of some form of loopy cinnamon celebration in your style buds. That’s the place this one missed the mark a bit.
