Coffee, Coffee Buzz, Buzz, Buzz! Review

It is only fitting that I am reviewing this flavor right before finals week when I need all of the coffee I can get. So here is the review.

Ben and Jerry's Coffee, Coffee Buzz, Buzz, Buzz! is Coffee Ice Cream with Espresso Bean Fudge Chunks.

This flavor is awesome if you love coffee. Like all Ben and Jerry's flavors, the ice cream is very smooth and creamy. But to me, the highlight of the pint is the espresso fudge chunks. They are pretty big and there is a good amount of them in the pint. It is hard to scoop them out of the pint because of their size. I had to let the ice cream "defrost" a little bit in order to scoop them out and to not bend my spoon. But they are very chocolaty and they have the taste of espresso. I liked that the espresso flavor wasn't very overwhelming and it does not override the actual chocolate. The chunks are not soggy or melted and they have a nice crunch to them.

I give this flavor a 9.2/10. It is very simple yet flavorful.

I do not know what my next flavor will be. Finals week is coming which means that I will not have time to review. I am hoping to get a new flavor by the end of July/early August.

Pineapple Passionfruit

Hi everyone. I got sidetracked over the past few months. Graduate school is in full swing. It has literally taken over my life and will continue to take over my life for the next 2 years. I am currently in my summer semester (yes, we have classes in the summer) and I have not been keeping up with this blog (as you all can tell). I am hoping to continue writing reviews about Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and FroYo but the posts will probably be less frequent. With this being said, I say thank you to all of the readers for still reading this blog.

I bought Ben and Jerry's Pineapple Passionfruit Greek Yogurt a few months back. I am finally going to do a review of it.

Ben and Jerry's Pineapple Passionfruit Greek Yogurt consists of pineapple Greek frozen yogurt with chunks of pineapple & a passionfruit swirl. It has sourness taste to it, just like regular Greek froyo. The texture of the froyo kind of reminded me of a creamsicle (like those orange creamsicles that I used to have when I was little). I am a little disappointed though because I do not have pieces of pineapple in my pint. I do not see them or taste them in the pint. I hope that this is not true for other pints of this flavor. Nevertheless, the passionfruit swirl is visible, tasty, and very strong. This swirl gives the pint a tangy taste, which compliments the Greek yogurt's sourness.

This is a very fruity flavor. I feel like it has a refreshing taste for summer. I would rate it a 7.8/10 just because I am missing the pineapple pieces, which are a big component of this flavor. I would probably rate it a 9/10 if it had the pineapple pieces in it.

By the way, I brought back the ratings scale because I was asked in a previous post to start rating the flavors. I am not the best at giving ratings but I will do my best.

I have Coffee, Coffee, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz in my freezer, which will be my next flavor. I am hoping to write a review for this flavor in July.

Thanks again for being patient!

Coffee Heath Bar Crunch!

The flavor this week is Coffee Heath Bar Crunch.

Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch is Coffee Ice Cream with Chunks of Heath Bars. Heath Bars are English toffee bars which are covered in milk chocolate.

The coffee ice cream is very "beany" and strong. Because of this, it kind of reminds me of Starbucks coffee. The toffee centers of the Heath Bar chunks were melting/oozing out of the chunks and into the ice cream. The milk chocolate from the Heath Bar added a crunchiness to the smooth and creamy texture from the ice cream and the toffee. There are also very small pieces of chocolate in the pint without any toffee filling in them (from the Heath Bar).

I will be going to Walmart tomorrow to pick up a new flavor. I will let you guys know what I get!

Dublin Mudslide!

Finally a new flavor and review! It is Dublin Mudslide!

Ben and Jerry's Dublin Mudslide consists of Irish Cream Liqueur Ice Cream with Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Coffee Fudge Swirl. There is a lot of stuff in this pint, along with a lot of different flavors.

I really taste the Coffee flavor the most in this pint. I think that flavor is more intense than the other flavors.  I have never tried Irish Cream Liqueur before so I don't know the taste of it very well (but after this flavor, I am going to have to buy some now). I do taste something that is not chocolate or coffee, and I believe it is the Irish Cream Liqueur. It goes well with the other flavors in the pint. I also really like the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies. I can't really describe it but the cookies are not really in big chunks (see in the picture below). You can easily scrape the spoon in the pint and get a little bit of every flavor in one spoonful.

The next new flavor is Strawberry Shortcake Greek FroYo. I am hoping to have a review by the end of the week or early next week.

Bonnaroo Buzz!

I was looking through the freezer/ice cream/Ben and Jerry's section at Target and I found this flavor. It looked really interesting so I wanted to try it ASAP. So here is the review.

Bonnaroo Buzz was created by Ben and Jerry's as was a result of a joint partnership with The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, a 4-day, multi-stage camping festival held on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee (http://www.bonnaroo.com/).


"Bonnaroo with donate a share of their proceeds to the Bonnaroo Works Fund whose goal is to further the organization's community investment and philanthropic endeavors." (http://www.benjerry.com/bonnaroobuzz/)

Bonnaroo Buzz consists of "Coffee and Malt Ice Creams with Whiskey Caramel Swirls and English Toffee Pieces." Not your average ice cream flavor to say the least.

This flavor will make your taste buds explode. The coffee and malt ice creams together are very creamy and the two flavors blend together sooooo well. Then there is the whiskey caramel swirl. This put everything over the top. It is not overwhelming, so you can still taste the two ice creams. And it is not too caramel-y; it doesn't stick to your teeth and it is not in "gobs". It is a "swirl" that is mixed in between the coffee and malt ice creams.   And last but not least; the English Toffee Pieces. These weren't very visible in the flavor (at least I didn't think so) but you can definitely taste it.

Overall, this flavor is very good. I rate it a 10/10 because of its originality and uniqueness (I have never seen and ice cream like this before). I will definitely buy this again in a heartbeat.
