Happy Happy Friday y’all and welcome to another Junk Food Review!!! So in case y’all didn’t know, I’m a gigantic Disney fan, the movies, Walt Disney World etc., and Sunday is Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday. It’s incredible all of the amazing things that have come from Walt’s creation of one little mouse. Ample Hills Creamery (which, FYI there is a scoop shop at Walt Disney World’s Boardwalk) put together a wonderful set of ice creams specifically for Mickey’s 90th. I originally ordered this ice cream back in August the moment they were announced, and the shipping dates kept changing, so when they finally arrived a couple weeks ago, I couldn’t wait to try, I mean come on, look at their cartons!
First, let’s try the Confetti Celebration, which is a ‘sweet cream ice cream with confetti cake, ribbons of yellow buttercream frosting and yellow Mickey-shaped white chocolate pieces filled with lemon cream’..
you can see some of the swirls of buttercream here…
Alrighty, I was definitely the most excited to try this flavor for sure. This is a very sweet ice cream, the buttercream swirls taste just like the canned frosting you can get at the store (which to me is a good thing), I loved the crunch of the white chocolate pieces, but I didn’t really taste the lemon cream inside them, which is totally cool. This ice cream is good, but it didn’t end up being as tasty as I had anticipated. Just know if you get this ice cream it is super duper sweet. I give this one a 7 out of 10.
Next we have the Peanut Butter Jamboree, a ‘vanilla bean ice cream with strawberry cake, ribbons of peanut butter frosting and Mickey-shaped peanut butter pieces filled with strawberry jam’…
you can definitely see that peanut butter swirl here…
Ok y’all, I really don’t like giving bad reviews but wowza this one needs some work. I love love love strawberry cake, but whatever is in this ice cream pretending to be strawberry cake is some gummy, artificial strawberry flavored gunk, I almost didn’t eat any more of this ice cream after my first bite was filled with this stuff. Luckily, I took another bite and it was pretty much all peanut butter swirl and it was fantastic. If they had left out the strawberry flavored gunk, this ice cream would be a 10 out of 10, since it’s not, its a 4 out of 10. I never did find any Mickey shaped pieces either, BTW.
Lastly, we have the Triple Chocolate Surprise, a ‘chocolate malted ice cream with chocolate fudge cake, ribbons of dark chocolate buttercream frosting and Mickey-shaped white chocolate pieces filled with fudge’…
look at all of that chocolatey goodness…
It’s funny how the one I was the most whatevs about, turned out to be my favorite flavor. I don’t usually gravitate towards chocolate ice cream, but this one knocked it out of the park. Lots of awesome layers of chocolate throughout (none bitter, even with dark chocolate buttercream) and the white chocolate pieces were really the icing on the cake-so to speak-because they added a wonderful crunch and sweetness. I absolutely love this flavor and give it a 9 out of 10.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Happy Birthday Mickey, 90 is looking great on you, haha.
