Cake batter ice cream is probably the best flavor ever created. I do agree that it is overly sweet, but how can you go wrong with something that reminds you of licking the spoon when mom was baking cake? Haven't tried the Ben & Jerry's version yet, but I haven't been very impressed with their ice cream lately.
I hate the cake batter flavor...too sweet and artificial, as everyone else seems to think. And I'm mad at B&J's...my favorite flavor (Coconut Almond Fudge Chip) can only be had at the scoop shops now, not in the grocery store. I hope it's not going the way of the dinosaur...
I recently tried B & J's cake batter flavor and I LOVED it. I then bought it again and loved it at first, but a few spoons later it started to make me feel sick and I didn't finish it. I don't know why the inital love of it faded so fast, but I think it comes down to it being too sweet and too authentic to cake batter - while that should be a good thing, but realistically, who eats the whole bowl of batter? You lick the beaters and the remains of the bowl, not the whole thing~!
I would love to try an ice cream with cake pieces, that sounds great.
Haven't tried the Ben & Jerry's flavor, but have had mixed feelings about the ones out in ice cream shops. Some are quite tasty--I think it's more a mood. Sometimes I want a fine, subtle gelato and sometimes I want that ooey-gooey-way-too-much-junk-in-it feel of ice cream. When I want B&J, I'm usually in the latter mood.
One thing I have really mixed feelings about is cheesecake flavored ice cream. I've only had the Cold Stone version, which I thought was tasty but off putting. Thoughts?
Haven't tried the cake batter ice cream - probably won't.
I miss B & J's Rainforest Crunch flavor. It was so good, I'm surprised that they discontinued it.
I hope they bring this to Finland too, I love batters!
I have had a flavor called Piece of Cake from Perry's Ice cream it is very good, I haven't had any ice cream in a while because I don't eat any sugar and find the sugar free types not worth it.
Oh yea, I just looked it up, and the kind I ate was Party Cake from Turkey Hill brand.
I loved cake ice cream when I was still eating dairy. I don't know what it is about it, but I just liked the colorful sprinkles, and the fact that is was called cake ice cream. It does taste artificial, but oddly, that is part of the appeal to me. Maybe I'm just weird, and I can't really describe why I like it, but I do. I believe I had the Turkey Hill version of cake ice cream, but I was a bit disappointed that there weren't a lot of cake pieces in it.
I've never tried this. It sounds kind of gross.
I like ice cream cake. French vanilla Haagen Dazs :-)
Our here we have custard . . . at Ted Drewe's stand on old Route 66, they have the "Bunnycrete" during the Easter season. It is a vanilla concrete (sort of an extremely thick shake) with chunks of real carrot cake in it. I highly recommend it!
For those with difference preferences, there also is the Big Apple (a concrete with a slice of apple pie broken into it, I recommend with caramel custard), and another one (whose name I forget) that involves a fudge brownie in the custard. Both of these come topped with whipped cream.
Now I want one . . .
