Van Leeuwen Swirls Ice Cream Bars: London Fog, Coffee & Cream and Blue Jasmine Tea Review

Today, Kevin and I are trying Vanan Swirls, a range of French ice cream bars. We picked up three flavors: Blue Jasmine Tea, London Fog, and Coffee and Cream. These bars were quite pricey at $7.99 per box for four bars, translating to $2 per bar at Whole Foods. This price point adds a premium feel, though we haven’t seen them sold elsewhere. Blue Jasmine Tea Ice Cream Bar The Blue Jasmine Tea bar is described as a blend of sweet cream ice cream and blue jasmine tea. Each bar contains 140 calories and includes ingredients like cream, milk, cane sugar, egg yolk, jasmine tea leaves, and spirulina extract for color. - Appearance: The bar has a lovely, visually appealing color. - Flavor: The taste is very subtle and lightly sweet, with a faint tea-like flavor. However, the overall flavor profile is disappointingly bland. - Texture: The texture is creamy, which is a redeeming feature. - Verdict: Despite its appealing look, the flavor is not strong enough to justify the $8 price.
