Ben & Jerry’s Flavor of the Week: Cinnamon Buns
Week two of my mission to try one new Ben & Jerry’s flavor a week. We had options in the freezer this time since I just couldn’t pass up a serious sale on Ben & Jerry’s. But of course I immediately grabbed the ‘Cinnamon Buns’ since it’s the one I’d been dying to try!
Caramel ice cream. Cinnamon Streusel Swirl. Cinnamon Bun Dough!!! It had to be amazing… right!? Well, no, not really. This flavors tasted artificial to be. I think it had the potential to be a real winner, but they just missed the mark. A simple, rich, high quality vanilla or sweet cream base would have done a better job highlighting the cinnamon swirls and balls of dough. But instead of vanilla or cream, I got a distinctly chemically aftertaste. It had the distinct flavor of trying to hard. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like we won’t finish the pint… but I probably wouldn’t pick this one up again.
