Ben & Jerry's Red Velvet Cake

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The new ice cream flavors of the year have been released as of this month, and I finally decided to dig into the Ben and Jerry's side. It is red velvet cake batter ice cream with red velvet cake pieces and a cream cheese frosting swirl. I have never actually had red velvet cake before, so I cant really comment on how that is supposed to taste, but the ice cream flavor is fairly strong, and has a nice creamy feel to it, and good texture. The cake pieces are quite chewy and have great flavor as well. There is a fair amount of cream cheese flavor in it, even though I can't really distinguish the ice cream from the frosting. The cream cheese flavor is very noticeable, and adds a great flavor contrast to the pint. There is definitely a good amount of cream cheese, I was expecting more, but I guess it makes sense because the cake needs to take center stage. They put enough frosting to give a cream cheese aftertaste to it. There is a good amount of cake pieces in the pint as well, and they are well distributed throughout, and about the size of a standard pencil eraser tip. Overall this is a solid and enjoyable flavor. Nothing incredible, but still really good.

9/10

  2. As far as I know it is only available at Walmart, and I have seen it at pretty much every Supercenter I have visited that isnt sold out of it(akron/canton area). Check it there, good luck!
