Lemon Blossom Ice Cream Sandwiches

[New for 2025] These bright yellow boxes hanging out on the end cap freezer definitely caught my attention.

Signature Select Lemon Blossom Ice Cream Sandwiches

I saw these at Shaw's (owned by Albertsons) while picking up some other new stuff from the freezer aisle. 4 sandwiches for $4.99 on sale ($6.99 regularly). Seems like it's part of a big lemon flavored lineup from Albertsons. You can read their press release here. Wait a minute....

Lemon White Chocolate Waffle Cone Bites? Ooooooo, that sounds fun! I think I need to find those.

I do love competition in the waffle cone bite space since it leads to lots of fun sounding flavors. "Just the fun part" and "Tiny Bites" both have a bunch of flavors on top of what Muddy Bites already has.

So, if you try either of these products, let us know!

Van Leeuwen: Cake vs Pie

I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for right now, so let's bring back that age old question of "what's better, cake or pie?" The question is also an excuse to clean up the freezer!

Noosa Out of this Swirl Lemon Bar

[New for Early 2023] So Noosa disappearing from a bunch of local grocery store chains had me pretty sure that it was gonna be one and done from them. Then a reader saw 3 new flavors and soon enough I did too. I left the new minty one on the shelf and the cookies & cream flavor is still downstairs, which means we are going to check out the third new flavor.

Talenti Lemon Berry Pie Gelato Layers

[New for 2020 - Retired] According to @candyhunting's research, there are four new Talenti flavors coming at us. I've been searching across several stores and so far I have only found the same one she saw on shelves. I present to you...

Friendly's Summer Breeze Ice Cream

[New for 2019] I think it's safe to say that my relationship with Friendly's has soured on several fronts over the last few years. Their "regular" ice cream has gone way done in quality, the naturally line up was a fail, the big sundae lineup was amusing in some regards but is also dying. Their limited edition container game (1.5 quart offerings) has also tossed us several meh flavors.... until now. Finally we have a fun, flavorful item I can actually recommend.

Slim Twin Ice Cream

*** Please Note, Three Twins has gone out of business ***

[By CT, 2018-2019] Over Labor Day weekend, my 9-year-old son made the observation that I had put on some weight. A quick stop on the scale and a look back and records of my weight revealed that in the last two years, I had put on about 25 pounds. It was an eye-opening moment and caused me to quickly adjust my food intake over the past couple weeks.

With a reinvigorated desire to shed pounds and eat better, what's a guy to do if he wants some ice cream? Well, along comes Dubba and says, "Hey, wanna try some Slim Twin Ice Cream?"

Haagen-Dazs Lemon & Raspberry White Chocolate Trio Crispy Layers Ice Cream

[2018-2020] I've put in some good time on the 2018 product guide but it's not done quite yet (you'd be surprised how long it takes as I'm already a couple hours in to it). I'm going to do two more reviews first and first up is the last of the new Trio flavors. I can't imagine I won't like this. No I don't try a ton of lemon flavors but I know H-D quality should easily carry this flavor. Let's dig in to...

Perry's Lemon Chillo Ice Cream

[New to scoop shops in 2015, new to freezer aisle in 2016]
Today I got a delivery of five Perry's flavors, 2 big containers (both new) and then six pints (2 x 3 flavors, 1 of which is new). I was in a vanilla mood tonight, but then this called to me.

Turkey Hill Southern Lemon Pie Ice Cream

[By Nick] After yesterday's apple pie surprise, it's finally time to bring Nick Week to an end with another kind of pie: Southern Lemon Pie. For some reason I thought Dubba had reviewed this flavor long ago but it seems like all he did was do a PSA about it and never actually had the flavor (see the post here). And this is why I'm here, to try flavors Dubba doesn't want to. At least I'm adding to my already commanding lead in our contest in the process (now 5-2).

Ciao Bello Sorbetto : White Peach Sangria and Wild Italian Strawberry Limonata

[By Nick, New for 2014] ‎Next up for Nick week is a double shot of sorbets I got for free, courtesy of Ciao Bella. Summer is coming to an end but these two flavors sound like they'd be able to make it feel like summer all year long.

Let's start things off with the Whole Foods exclusive Ciao Bello Wild Italian Strawberry Limonata sorbetto. This one basically sounds like a fancier version of strawberry lemonade. I'm a fan of that drink so I'm excited to see how it plays out in frozen form.

Three Twins Lemon Cookie Ice Cream

[By Nick] I'm pretty sure I've mentioned in every review of a lemon flavor I've done (which hasn't been many) that I really want to try Three Twins Lemon Cookie ice cream. Well I no longer have to want that because on my first ever trip to The Fresh Market (you remember the disappointing gelato) they had a few flavors of Three Twins. It was the first time I've seen them in my area and I nearly fell to my knees when I saw they had a pint of Lemon Cookie.

Divino Gelato Dessert : Made in Italy

[New to the US in 2014] Out of the blue, Divino Dessert contacted me about trying their very unique product line. It's fresh fruit picked from the Amalfi coast of Italy, cored, and then transformed in to gelato and sorbet and placed back in to the fruit shell. While you guys know I'm not the biggest fruit addict on the planet, I was absolutely mesmerized by the idea and visuals of this product.

This stuff even has an awesome backstory as this dessert was created over 80 years ago in Italy. This treat is well known in Europe and now it's time for it to hit the states.

Halo Top All Natural Light Ice Cream

[By Nick] Besides a few scandalous requests, I actually do enjoy reading our review request form. It gives me an idea of what you guys are looking to see as well as tipping me off to brands I’ve never heard of. In fact, the request form led to today’s review of Halo Top Creamery.

Never having heard of them before, I made my way over to their website to see what they were about and where I could find them. Of course, seeing as I live in the middle of nowhere, no one close carries them. A few emails later with a Halo Top rep (who's been a fan of the site for years) and every flavor in their line up appeared on my door step.

Haagen-Dazs Limoncello Gelato Review

[By Nick, New for 2013, discontinued before 2016] Ever since my fairly positive encounter with Ben & Jerry’s Liz Lemon earlier this year, I have been seriously craving lemon flavored desserts. A quick glace through the freezer isle shows that lemon is a very neglected flavor when it comes to creamy applications. Sure there are tons of sorbets and Italian ices but there is little to none of it in ice cream form. So with one Haagen-Dazs gelato under my belt and a hunger for some lemon goodness, I thought it would be the perfect time to pick up Haagen-Dazs Limoncello Gelato.

Haagen-Dazs describes this one as “creamy lemon gelato with vodka.” Now I normally stay away from alcohol infused flavors since I’m straight edge and so I’m not really sure what to expect. However, one of my alcoholic versed friends informed me that vodka is essentially flavorless. Well okay, but then why would they include it in the first place since it adds no flavor? Whatever the case may be, I was less hesitant to give this one a try than I originally was.

More From Bassetts : an Ice Cream and a Sorbet

[By Nick] I know you guys are wondering what flavor of ice cream I got instead of Bassett's Vanilla in my free shipment (first two reviews here). Well, technically I didn’t get an ice cream. Don’t ask me how, but Bassett's managed to sneak a pint of their Lemon Sorbet into the container. Having such a good experience with G.S. Gelato’s sorbetto, I was in no means disappointed in seeing this slip up.

Dairy Queen Lemon Meringue Pie Blizzard The July 2013 DQ Blizzard of the Month

[New for 2013] A new month means a "new" blizzard of the month, though keep in mind you can still get yourself the excellent S'mores blizzard (review). Now if you are like me, you might be going "wait, what, a lemon flavored blizzard?". I don't remember there being a lemon blizzard before, but at the same time, they have so many others, maybe I just ignored it.... wait, how long until we see a key lime pie blizzard??

Ok, as always, here's the official shot of the new Lemon Meringue Pie Blizzard. It's Lemon Meringue Pie filling, crunchy pie pieces and whipped topping in creamy vanilla soft serve. Now I would normally hesitate on something like this, but having recently finished the most excellent New Orleans Ice Cream Company's Lemon Doberge Cake flavor (review), I can't help but be excited for this one. Strawberry blizzards are awesome, so I hope that fruity magic happens here too.

New Orleans Lemon Doberge Cake Ice Cream

Let's continue our journey through these free samples from New Orleans Ice Cream Company.

Lemon Doberge Cake is described as "This Twist on a New Orleans dessert classic has tangy lemon sauce & real lemon cake in our citrus lemon ice cream". That's a lot of lemon, but they say tangy, not tart, so there is definitely hope for this one.

Ben & Jerry's Liz Lemon Greek Frozen Yogurt Review

[By Nick, 2013-2014] When Ben & Jerry’s first announced that it would be releasing a 30 Rock flavor I was pretty excited. Not because I’m a fan of the show (I’ve actually never watched an episode in my life) but because I found out one of the main characters is named is Liz Lemon. There aren't many lemon flavors out there and what kept flashing in my mind was Three Twins Lemon Cookie. Now Three Twins isn’t distributed in my area so I can’t try their flavor so I was really hoping Ben & Jerry’s would pull through for me.

Hola Fruta Black Cherry Lemon A Sherbet Review

Never seen Hola Fruta? I feel bad for you

Seen it but haven't boughten it? shame on you!

Get to eat it all the time? OOOh I'm jealous of you!

It's been a long time since I've praised my love of Hola Fruta but that's because no one carries it around here. Shaws did carry it long enough for me to get hooked, but then it disappeared never to be found again, until now... at Wegman's! YAY!

I had four pint-sized flavors to choose from and it was this newer looking black cherry lemon sherbet that really got my attention. ($2.49 a pint) Oh it's so nice to have an all natural pure fruit sherbet in my grasp once again.  I'm so excited!!

Lindy's Raspberry Lemon Italian Ice Spectacular

So, who else out there is suffering in this awful humidity? To make it worse, I mowed today and I think my water level is a couple of quarts low right now. I keep drinking, but nothing is quenching my thirst... if only there was something super cold to make me feel better.

Ahhhhh Lindy's. This is Lindy's raspberry lemon Italian ice and I actually I tried last night. It's a pleasant, mild flavor. Not too sweet, not too tart.... not too raspberry, not to lemony. Now this sure is cold, but it will take way too long too eat.
