Today, Kevin and I are excited to try the new Blue Bunny Twist frozen dairy desserts. We have three flavors: Chocolate Vanilla, Cookies and Cream, and Strawberries and Cream. Priced at $2.99 each at Meijer, these pints offer a delightful dessert experience.
Chocolate Vanilla
The Chocolate Vanilla flavor features a soft frozen dairy dessert swirled with ribbons of fudge. Each 2/3 cup serving (98g) contains 210 calories, and the entire pint totals 620 calories. This flavor offers a light and airy texture, similar to soft serve, with a pronounced chocolate syrup taste reminiscent of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. It's not as dense as traditional ice cream, making it easy to eat quickly.
Cookies and Cream
Next up is the Cookies and Cream, which has a similar calorie count to the Chocolate Vanilla. While the flavor aims to deliver the classic cookies and cream experience, it mostly tastes like chocolate due to the strong presence of chocolate syrup. The texture remains light and easy to eat, perfect for those who prefer a less heavy dessert.
Strawberries and Cream
Lastly, the Strawberries and Cream flavor stands out as our favorite. Its appearance is similar to Little Debbie Strawberry Shortcake rolls, with a vibrant strawberry gel swirled throughout. The flavor leans more towards a natural strawberry taste rather than an artificial one, providing a pleasant, sweet experience without any harshness. This flavor, too, maintains the soft, airy texture characteristic of this product line.
Overall Impressions
All three flavors are incredibly soft and easy to eat straight from the freezer, without needing to be left out to soften. This makes them a convenient and quick dessert option. However, despite their enjoyable taste and texture, they do not replace the richness of real ice cream for us.
For $2.99 per pint, these Blue Bunny Twist frozen dairy desserts offer great value. Among the three, Strawberries and Cream is our top pick, followed by Chocolate Vanilla, and then Cookies and Cream. While we might not choose these over traditional ice cream, they are still a delightful and affordable treat.
