I consider myself something of an ice cream snob, and am always on the lookout for ice creams with natural ingredients (e.g. no corn syrup) that don’t add all those superfluous stabilizers like carageenan and all the gums. I was very excited when I first discovered Homemade’s natural vanilla bean sometime in the last year, because it has only the ingredients that a true vanilla ice cream should have. I find it to be delicious and to have a great texture. However, I was eating some just like you described as I came upon this site. It had that unpleasant grainy texture. But the thing is, this is the first time I’ve ever experienced that with their natural vanilla bean, after having eaten it many times. In fact, I first opened this same carton just last night and it had a good texture.<br /><br />My hypothesis is that the graininess happens as a result of melting and refreezing, which is what this carton did. I had it sitting out for a while last night because guests were eating it, and tonight I opened it to eat the remainder and found the texture to look and feel all wrong. So I suspect your carton melted at some point during its transportation and then refroze before making it to your home. <br /><br />I would give it another shot, if you’re a fan of vanilla with real ingredients. Just note that you have to get the natural vanilla bean that has only milk, cream, sugar, vanilla extract and vanilla beans. I’ve seen other vanilla flavors of theirs that have other crap in them and I haven’t tried them (nor do I have any interest).<br /><br />I hope that helps!<br /><br />-Stefan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-21704916778893508542018-08-27T22:42:08.210-04:002018-08-27T22:42:08.210-04:00@Jack: ok, just making sure, grocery stores aren&#...@Jack: ok, just making sure, grocery stores aren't exactly good about taking care of their ice cream nowadays. they let it sit in the aisle. people stand their with the door open. etc etc etc.Dubba Scoopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135130511349727532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-24656821745105955542018-08-27T21:18:37.771-04:002018-08-27T21:18:37.771-04:00Absolutely not freezer burn.

I was just introduced to this brand today - visiting my cousin in MI. She told me to try some - she had strawberry and butter pecan.

I tried their "Caramel Candy Bar Sundae" which is brown sugar ice cream, caramel with chocolate and peanuts. The brown sugar ice cream tasted a bit odd, but had a really nice, creamy texture. A texture completely ruined by far too many granulated peanuts. It was almost like they powdered them before adding them, they were in every bite and just made it feel gritty. There was also no noticeable chocolate. I'd try it again, but nothing with nuts. Trampusnoreply@blogger.com
