Breyers Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Review


 2013 Update: Not sure when it happened, but this one is retired

To be honest, I'm not quite sure how I've managed to walk by Breyers Triple Chocolate ice cream 30 times without trying it. I guess I was afraid it just wouldn't be that good. You know, the "white chocolate" would be vanilla, the dark chocolate would taste cheap, and the milk chocolate would be the same chocolate we always get. Well, I was trying to grab something quick Saturday afternoon, and my chocolate cravings told me it was time to give in and see if the ice cream tastes as good as it looks.


I couldn't resist and my spoon immediately went for the white chocolate. Guess what? It tastes like white chocolate! It tastes like any decent white chocolate bar would, or a nice quality pudding pop. The milk chocolate is good, though it makes me long for TH Box of Chocolates. I was messing around and cut out a slab of the dark chocolate and it definitely has a fudgy look to it (oh man, I just made myself hungry for brownies). The dark chocolate is pretty good as well, though the brownie thoughts made me forget what it tastes like.

One of the most interesting thinks I find about this flavor is how creamy it is. Maybe the freezer is on the fritz... or maybe they've done something special to make this extra creamy. I'm not sure, but I like it. Overall, it's good. The secret is bringing yourself back to reality before trying it. It's not fantastic, it's not mind numbing (well, unless you eat too much), it's just a quality product with a respectable taste (and tastes even better with fresh whip cream!)

  2. I agree that Breyers Triple chocolate ice cream is really good. However, I am hooked on Blue Bell Triple Chocolate Ice Cream. It is the best by far. Rich and hearty, unbelievably delicious. I was amazed by how good it was. Trouble is Blue Bell's ice cream is seasonal and only available during certain times of the year. Too bad because I will be buying Breyers Triple chocolate instead when I can't get the Blue Bell, Blue Bell stop this 3 month nonsense already.

  4. @Anon: I have to ask, how often do you eat ice cream because this one has been gone a really long time... or do you mean nothing has replaced it in your heart of hearts since its demise? Please look around the site because I'd like to think that somewhere on this blog is something that will make you just as happy.

  6. talk about not buying ice cream much..... you want something to stick around, you gotta support it (and hope others do to)

  7. This was an amazing flavour, and it makes no sense it got discontinued. The only problem was finding it on sale. I worry about Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream and several Chapmans Premium flavours that are never available even when they are amazing flavours and then decide to cancel because no enough purchases. It is like they don't realize it won't sell when it isn't available and instead waste space with flavours like Premium Black Cherry.

  8. I have been looking and praying to find a white chocolate ice cream again. No luck on my end. I agree with others I don’t understand why discontinue something that was so good and it was on the shelves. It be sold out the same day so it has to be doing good for them so we discontinue it? Does anyone else know any triple chocolates they’re out there in 2024

    1. Hi John, I didn't want to post your email address to be safe. If you want a white chocolate ice cream, you could try Tillamook's version (though it does have raspberry in the mix). Turkey Hill also has a triple chocolate ice cream, but there's no white chocolate component. It's a shame that there arent more white chocolate options these days, though Haagen-Daz white chocolate raspberry truffle is still one of my favorite available flavors in the freezer aisle.
