Sam's Choice Coffee and Donuts Ice Cream
I'm going to start this post off with some bad news. Sam's Choice is going to discontinue this flavor, in addition to their Chocolate and Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle. However, this change isn't happening until March, and while taking these three flavors away, Sam's Choice will be adding 5 new, yet to be disclosed, flavors to their line up! So you still have plenty of time to give this one a try and get pumped for the new flavors!
This flavor is described as Coffee Ice Cream with Swirls of Icing and Donut Pieces.
So this flavor is the only ice cream I've seen with an icing swirl. And what an icing swirl it is. Look at the picture of the swirl. Wow.
The swirl, however, did not stay this thick through the entire container. The swirl is also incredibly sweet and intense. It tastes exactly like the glaze on a donut and was super goopy. It also had little sugar granules in the swirl. If you get easily overwhelmed by sugary-ness, I would suggest scooping yourself some ice cream from the container where this swirl is thinner.
The base of this ice cream was lightly coffee flavored, and at times the sweetness of the swirl overwhelmed it. Lastly, the donuts pieces were surprisingly delicious. These pieces have been polarizing in the ice cream blogging world. Some bloggers, like Madeline, love them, others hate them. I am in the former camp. They were great. More dense and moist than any donut I've ever had. They were also cinnamony and nutmegy! This is a much classier touch than I would expect from a Wal-Mart product, to be honest. The donut pieces were large and occurred about once every three bites.
Sam's Choice does it again. A great ice cream for the price. The only change I would make would be to have slightly less swirl and a slightly stronger coffee flavor for the base.
Yes these is actual coffee in this flavor, unlike the Great Value flavor!
