[Review] Eisprom Plombir (Russian Ice Cream)

Discovered these Russian Ice Creams which are called Plombir at the local corner shop that sells German food.
They had the Eisprom plombir which came in two flavours: Chocolate and Vanilla.
They are memorable because it is icecream in a wafer cone wrapped in paper.

According to this famous instagrammer they are creamily delicious like Cornish ice cream.

I definitely recommend them after trying them because they are so creamy and thick just like Cornish icecream.

As well as Eisprom Plombir, I discovered another brand which is just as good but I don't know which one is the original.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Although I have almost tried everything at M&S, it was my first time trying their ice cream.

I got the Marks and Spencers West Country Luxury Salted Caramel Ice Cream which looks similar to their West Country Luxury yoghurt.

The ice cream did not disappoint and I was glad I got the Salted caramel ice cream because it was rich and creamy and not too sweet with a lovely salty kick to it.

I also paired it with sweet potatoes inspired by the Japanese purple potato with icecream and it was a match made in heaven.

[Review] exclusive to Iceland - Barratt Flumps

Quoted from the Icefresh Foods website:

"Icefresh Foods transforms five of the most-loved Barratt sweets into ice creams, exclusively available at Iceland!
Working in partnership with leading retro confectionery brand Barratt, we are aiming to make the nation’s summer a little bit sweeter this year, by launching a range of five new ice creams based on the Barratt’s classic range of sweets, all exclusively available at Iceland stores.

The range will include fun frozen twists on the Fruit Salad, Black Jack, Flumps and Wham sweets, plus a cool new take on the popular Dip Dab sweet-lollies.

I know this is a late post but better late than never.

The taste of this Barratt Flumps was just like flumps with a brain freeze.
If you have tried Barratt flumps you will know that familiar marshmallow taste without the gelatin.
Definitely my favourite icecream from the Barratt's icecream sweet range.

[Review] Cornetto Mermaid Raspberry & Matcha Ice Cream Cone

I was captivated by the new Cornetto Mermaid Raspberry & Matcha Ice Cream Cone at Tescos for 1.55 so I got it.
[Update July 31/07/2020 you can also get these at Poundland now and I was so chuffed Poundland on Instagram reposted one of my pictures]
The ice cream cone is wrapped in a holographic pink and blue wrapper which is designed to look like mermaid scales.
To be honest, it did not look holographic.

Cornetto Mermaid Raspberry & Matcha Ice Cream Cone

According to the internet , there are two versions, the one featured on Cornetto's website is Raspberry & Vanilla while the one at Tesco is Raspberry & Matcha.

The one I got was the Raspberry & Matcha.
First impressions, the candies were a bit too big and looked out of proportion according to the picture and the silver candy balls were white and not silver.

As for the taste, it was interesting because the raspberry and matcha were prominent independently so sometimes you would taste the raspberry and sometimes the bitterness of the matcha.

[Review] Morrisons Peach & Raspberry Ice Cream Rainbow Cones

I was captivated by the pretty rainbow on the box for the Morrisons Peach & Raspberry Ice Cream Cones.
Inside, you will find four cones wrapped in gold foil.
The peach isn't that prominent to begin with but the raspberry was refreshing and it tasted like raspberry ripple ice cream as the raspberry sauce goes right down to the bottom.
The cone is crispy and thin with a light chocolate coating.
Overall, it was a nice change from your usual flavours but being a foodie I rarely buy the same things again even though it is good.

[Review] Aldi Gianni's Mini Viennese Mint Ice Creams

Wall's Viennetta is obviously popular hence there are so many other inspired Viennetta ice creams around so I am trying all the different versions that I can get hold of especially the mint flavour.
So far I have tried Wall's Viennetta, Icelands Salt Caramel Vienna, Lidl's version and now I finally got hold of Aldis.
Let see if other supermarkets will launch their own soon like Tescos, Asda and Sainsburys.
The Aldi version is appealing like Icelands because they come on sticks which make it convenient

I tried it as soon as I bought them and they were a bit soft so I had it again the next day and it was a bit firmer.
As for the taste, the chocolate was more prominent and it slightly bitter.
Overall, it wasn't but I don't think I will be getting it again.

[Review] Iceland Cones Mint Choc Chip

As a foodie, I love trying different brands of ice creams, this time I got Iceland Cones Mint Choc Chip.
The design was simple and attractive and I like the cute chocolate chips on the ice cream but the description "decorated with chocolate flakes" is somewhat confusing because the ones in the picture are clearly chocolate chips.

Anyway, the ice cream looked just like the product shot so it was good.

Having had a bad experience with Iceland's Belgian Chocolate Mint Majestics, I didn't have any expectations for this.
To my surprise, they were really good.
The mint icecream had a weak mint taste but I loved the equal mix of chocolate icecream and mint icecream together which make it tasty.
The amount of chocolate chips are just right so that the icecream overall isn't too sweet.

[Review] Lidl Gelatelli Mint Layered Ice Cream Dessert

The Viennetta inspired layered ice cream desserts have been around at Lidl for a while but I wasn't in a rush to try them but since I recently tried Icelands salted caramel mini Vienna bars, I decided to try it to compare.
Only tried Iceland's mini Vienna because it was salted caramel.

I didn't have any expectations for the Gelatelli Mint Layered Ice Cream Dessert as it was from Lidl.
It was good that it was only 500ml while Viennetta is 650ml because there is less to finish if it didn't taste good.
The appearance is about the same with the intricate folds except for the colour which is obviously lime and not mint hence not so appealing.
It was really soft to slice so unlike the real deal you don't have to wait after taking it out from the freezer.
As for the taste, the mint was really strong to the point you can smell it when you open the wrapper. But as you keep eating, you get accustomed to the mint and the chocolate layers are quite crispy.
Overall, worth trying.
