News: Ben & Jerry's Pecan Pie Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2023] I wander through the freezer aisle every time I go to a grocery store, but the reality is that I rarely find anything new. Well, today was a happy exception to that.

It's limited batch and this was at Walmart, but it's also been spied at Target. I can't imagine this isn't tasty, and it's definitely more my speed then their Bourbon Pecan Pie ice cream from 2015.

That said, this current version features buttery ice cream while the old Southern Pecan Pie version used a brown sugar ice cream. Mmmmmm. I'm sorry I missed that.

Anyway, I'm not sure if or when I will get to try this, so I'm relying on you to find it and report back with your thoughts. Happy ice cream hunting!

Tillamook Caramel Toffee Crunch Ice Cream

Well, I did it, I finally bought a container of Tillamook ice cream. See, Tillamook is more of a west coast thing because they are based in Oregon (farmer owned since 1909!). Their website currently lists 30 big containers of ice cream and 13 pints that are a mix of gelato, custard, and ice cream. They also have 6 ice cream sandwiches and 2 bars. In other words, they are a pretty well established company. My local options are limited, so what will I try first?

7-Eleven Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake Ice Cream

[New for 2019] There are four new flavors of 7-Eleven ice cream, though if you are like me, you'll probably have trouble tracking them all down. This is the first one I found.

7-Eleven Caramel Butter Pecan Ice Cream

[New for late 2016] I'm kind of a sucker for convenience store ice cream sales. I tend to avoid convenience store purchases in general, but if I'm there and I'm buying a pint of ice cream already, why not buy two and save myself a follow up trip to try another one of their flavors. Case in point is me finally trying this 7-Select flavor when I went to try the new pumpkin pie flavor.

New Nutty Options from Gelato Fiasco

[New for 2018] Hello Nosh Show listeners! Ha, just kidding, happy Monday everyone, hopefully a lot of you have the day off and are thinking of heading to the grocery store to fill up the freezer. Our buds over at Gelato Fiasco were nice enough to send over free samples of their six new flavors that they just released. I'm going to cheat a little and show you all the nutty ones first. That's right, four of the six are bringing some nuttiness to your freezer. Let's see what they've got to offer.

High Road Caramel Pecan Ice Cream

[Reader Note: High Road has checked in with us and has offered to send a fresh pint to Nick so that he can verify if he got an off pint or not.]

[By Nick] Has it already been 6 months since my last review? Time really does fly. Between my son and the doughnut shop, time to formally write a review seems to slip away. That and I’m honestly pretty lazy. But hey, I’m here now and ready to try a brand that’s new to the site but not new to us. High Road has been on our radars for years. They’re a brand that touts themselves as a culinary inclined business as you can probably tell by their “made by chefs” tagline. Not to rain on anyone’s parades but most ice cream companies do rely on chefs to help curate their flavors. We haven’t been able to find them in our stores up North. Well up until recently when I stumbled upon a few of their flavors at my local Shop Rite.

Baskin-Robbins Belgian Waffle Ice Cream

[Sept 2017] There's a flavor of the month with "Waffle" in the name? Just let me check the calendar, yup, it's clear now. To the lunchmobile!

Ben & Jerry's Truffle Kerfuffle Ice Cream

[New for early 2017] Looks like Ben & Jerry's is going to be first to put new pints on the shelves this year, though I suspect new Haagen-Dazs isn't far behind (I spotted a pint of coffee H-D sporting their new packaging design in two different stores). We know that there are at least three new flavors coming: Oat of this Swirled, Urban Bourbon, and...

Yuengling's Butter Pecan Ice Cream

[New for 2016] This is the last of the four new Yuengling's flavors that debuted for 2016. I don't know why it took so long to pop up in my area, and yes this is something Nick usually reviews, but I'm hungry and it's either this or Gifford's Power Play Fudge ice cream (announcement here).
