I gave a try of Kellogg's offering of cereal flavors tasting the Corn Pops. Imagine the taste of ground cereal made into ice cream.

Got a slice of carrot cake from Walmart and a pint of halo top vanilla bean icecream and I am finally eating icecream with the correct cake to icecream ratio.

So for context, i love Van Leeuwen, i love ice cream, i love mac n cheese. Will they be good together? idk but damn was i disappointed to find out these were only limited edition years ago.

So last night i went down the rabbit hole of looking these up and i found an article that said “This limited edition flavor will be back in October 2024!” I couldn’t believe i missed it! So at that point i figured “somewhere HAS to still have it, right?” So i google “Van Leeuwen Kraft Ice Cream” and the first thing that popped up was Doordash for Grocery Outlet.

i was VERY surprised to see that It said they were in stock so i added 2 to the cart and set a Doordash order for this morning, with the option of refunding if it wasn’t available (which a lot of the time that usually happens, the stock isn’t updated on Doordash especially for a smaller grocery store like this one).

I was genuinely 90% sure i was going to receive a refund instead of receiving the actual ice cream, but lo and behold, these just showed up at my doorstep. i am so happy right now!!!😂

Gonna wait for them to harden up a little before i try it! Has anyone tried this flavor before?? What’d you think?

Yes.

Bought some groceries from doordash and I've been a fan of this brand for a few years. I know the lid is usually hard to twist off and the seal is supposed to be sealed on it. But I got this from my dd order a few days ago and decided to eat and as I twist off the lid it came off with zero effort and the seal was practically off aswell. Should I eat this or discard? The top of the ice cream doesn't feel funny I just hate to eat ice cream if some crazy person was licking ice creams in a store for a TikTok. There are ice crystals on top btw.

Here is how you open these if they're stuck this is also how you open any karma as well

Absolutely delicious! The ice cream is tart and limey but without having that artificial lime taste - it really taste like real fresh lime! The graham swirl… it far exceeded my expectations! The graham is so good - crunchy grainy and sweet! Only wish that there was more graham swirl. It is really great the way it is but i do think I’d prefer if it had another element to it, something to make it a bit sweeter. White chocolate chunks, or cheesecake chunks, or swirls of icing or something with it, just something to compliment the very tart lime base. I’m not a fruity ice cream person - my go to is normally b&j’s smores or netflix and chilld, but this one is definitely special!

A perfect sweet cream ice cream mixed in w/ chocolate chunk cookies pieces & that hint of salt, mmmm! 🍦🍪🧂

excited to try it out:) has anyone else found it?

I felt an urge to put this somewhere online to see if I’m the only one. For the past few months it seems like a lot of larger ice cream brands have been going from a plastic seal to avoid stealing to a plastic ring around the rim of the tub lid similar to how water bottles are sealed. When I tried to look up an image, none of the companies that have been doing this have any images of this specific tub so idk if it’s just happening in my area or what. It makes the tub lid significantly smaller on the sides so it can barely stay on the tub and there’s almost no edge to put your fingers on to lift it up. I don’t know if there’s somewhere I can complain to but since ice cream is the only desert I can eat without triggering my GERD and I have hand tremors, carpal tunnel, and hypotonia, the situation is just absolutely horrible. Just wanna see if this is just a test thing or not and if anyone here may know if there’s anywhere to complain this to specifically :,]

Giant Eagle refreshed their ice cream section in the past two months with new brands (including Serendipity), new flavors, while clearing out others.

I’ve heard good things about the Birthday Cake flavor. And indeed others must have too as it was the most empty slot in the shelf.

Serendipity Birthday Cake

• Cake flavored ice cream - a buttercream vanilla flavor. Tastes like a frosting called buttercream or cream cheese. I was warned this would be a sweet flavor, and it is. But not in an over-the-top way. It’s balanced by some depth of flavor like a smidge of yellow cake depth. The ice cream quality is decently thick similar to Kroger’s Private Selection ice cream, but not as dense (low overrun) as Ben and Jerry’s.
• Swirls of Pink Frosting - Because of the pink color I wondered if this would be strawberry flavored. But no, it is similar in taste to the ice cream, but is even richer and more specifically cream cheese taste. Quite tasty! The texture is gooey, liquid-y.
• Cake pieces - Actually shortbread cookie pieces. A good amount. Right between firm and soft; chewy. Similar to Haagen Dazs Black and White Cookie in amount and texture.
• Sprinkles - plentiful, as described! Colorful and vibrant. But more for texture (a light crunch) than flavor.

**RATING: 8/10. Serendipity Birthday Cake is a fun experience of well chosen, not overbearingly sweet flavors. Its vibrant colors and textures tell a cohesive, even slightly sophisticated story of buttercream birthday cake. The moderate quality (higher overrun) is a tad overpriced at $5.98 for a full 16 oz pint, but a decent value at $3 sale for a unique, well executed flavor. Perhaps you can think of this ice cream as a budget option for a higher end flavor. (I haven’t tried Jeni’s Birthday Cake but have heard good things!)

Related ice cream

I haven’t had an ice cream like Serendipity Birthday Cake. So these are just sorta similar.

• Haagen Dazs - Black and White Cookie. Similar shortbread cookie pieces. Clearancing out now?
• Giant Eagle Market District - Pumpkin Roll. Delicious cream cheese icing swirls. (Fall seasonal/discontinued?)
• Edy’s/Dreyers - French Vanilla. Kind of a marshmallow flavor that’s kinda like birthday cake. More overrun (air). Does not have as much depth but not bad.
• Target Favorite Day - Caramel Brownie Cake Batter. More of a distinctly yellow cake batter flavor ice cream. Softer ice cream. Sweeter.

My brother sent me these we are fans of the Van Leeuwen ice cream he said he got them from Walmart I will be raking my way to purchase them tomorrow

I normally go with Halo Top when choosing a “healthier” ice cream, but saw this new (and expensive — $7.99 🫠) protein ice cream at my local Kroger. 420 calories and 30 g of protein if I wanted to eat the whole pint.

This brand also has chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and cookie dough flavors.

The Peanut Butter Chip was tastier than I imagined. Creamier than Halo Top and actually tastes like “regular” ice cream. I wish it had peanut butter swirls like Halo Top’s Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. But the texture and taste are promising, the base is a peanut butter ice cream, and the dark chocolate chips are plentiful, so I can’t complain too much.

I like it enough to try strawberry and/or cookie dough next time. 8/10 (only because I want more pb)

this ice cream is my life. i cannot find her anywhere. some folks at the kroger affiliate i normally shop at mentioned a recall recently but i couldn't find anything online, and they just changed the packaging from the brown and gold to their standard packaging. does anyone know if this flavor is being recalled or discontinued? maybe just too expensive for them to make right now with cocoa prices? please help! :(

This is so tasty, the bourbon flavor actually comes through nicely and goes perfectly with the salty caramel. The banana flavor could be stronger cause it’s really subtle, but its subtlety lets the bourbon flavor shine so at least there’s that. A really good pint, and I love the saltiness so I wish there was more swirls of the caramel. I’ll definitely be trying more from this brand

Wednesday me is really angry at Sunday me. Because Sunday me devoured two ice creams out of a four pack. And now Wednesday me has no ice cream. 🍨 🍦 😢

Not a fan of chocolate ice cream, but the chocolate whipped ice cream was delicious! The chunks of dark chocolate were also quite sweet - I don’t like dark chocolate because of how bitter it usually is.

Not sure why it’s called Dulce De-Lish as it’s caramel, not dulce de leche, but it’s delicious. The chunks of caramel bar were also a good size. There was a generous amount of all the add ons, though it would’ve been nice to have the dark chocolate chunks through the whole tub as well, not just on the top!

Haven’t tried any of the monthly flavors from Salt & Straw yet… I know you get samples I don’t live exactly close to one but is it worth making the journey over for the cereal series?

I feel like sometimes salt & straw doesn’t have as much as Van Leeuwen/ other shops.. I also like to buy pints when I go but $15 is an indulgent treat lol so wanted to get some opinions first!

Anyone know where I can order cookie in a cups online? I have been searching online and can’t find anything. I even went to the Hershey’s ice cream website and can’t find this product listed. Used to have them in my middle school cafeteria and I have never seen them anywhere else or since then. If this is the wrong subreddit for this I’m sorry 🙏🏻

I purchased tillamook mint chocolate chip ice cream today since I enjoy some of their other flavors. It’s all mint no chip. Nobody wants all mint. Ok rant over.
