Van Leeuwen Cookie Butter Ice Cream

[New for 2024] Are you ready for the first new review of 2024 already? You know how Van Leeuwen loves rotating flavors in and out of Walmart, so yeah, they are first to shelves this year. We've got some returning flavors as well as newbies like Thai Iced Tea, Salted Caramel Truffle, and...

Dolcezza King Leo Peppermint Gelato Dolcezza Coffee & Christmas Cookies Gelato

This was going to be my Christmas day post, but, well, it didn't quite pan out that way. Our whole Christmas schedule got thrown out of whack and I wound up trying this on Christmas but never actually posting about it (though I could have sworn I took notes....). Anyway, let's dive in to the holiday pack that Dolcezza Gelato was nice enough to send over. You've seen Hot Cocoa and Sugar Cookie Dough, so let's dive in to....

Cold Case Ice Cream

A few weeks ago, I got an email from the marketing firm for Cold Case Ice Cream (website). I had never heard of them, but it only took a moment of looking at their website for me to realize that I needed to accept their offer and see what their delicious looking flavors were all about.

Turkey Hill Cookie Butter Ice Cream

[New for 2022] Do I have any faith left in Turkey Hill's mainstream lineup? Honestly? Like, super honest? No, not really (which is ironic considering that I love their all natural line up). I do still buy their cookie dough for my wife, but that's pretty much it (and even that isn't nearly as good as it used to be). Sure I could use new content for the blog, but if I have no urge to finish the container, what's the point? That said, I decided to cut them a little slack and try...

Dairy Queen Pumpkin Cookie Butter Shake

[New for late summer 2020] The Mrs and I finally made it back to DQ for the first time in a very long time (two years!). There wasn't anything in particular that I wanted from the menu, but then I noticed a sign for this shake and I knew we should get one to try.

Lotus Biscoff Original Ice Cream

[New for Fall 2019] I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm glad I didn't buy more than one of these new Biscoff ice cream flavors at Target today...  (there are four in all)

7-Eleven Cookie Butter Ice Cream

[New for late 2018] Alright, we've got time left to sneak in one more review before 2018 ends. Sure, technically there are new Blue Bunny load'd sundaes and also new Friendly's cake singles to find, but this is the best I can manage. It's a pretty tasty way to end the year so I'm not really complaining. Let's dive in to a fresh pint of....

Arby's Cookie Butter Shake

[New for Sept 2017] Dear Arby's, I'm going to keep this simple. Cookie butter is a very distinct flavor that is meant to be sweet and wonderful. Gingerbread flavor is not cookie butter flavor!

Walgreen's Cookie Butter Ice Cream

[New for...  late 2016?] I ran in to Walgreen's looking for Nosh Show fodder. Disappointed not to find anything, I took the long way out of the store, past the ice cream, when I saw...

Cookie Butter Cake Recipe

Hello, my name is Dubba and my son has food allergies. Since he can't eat many of the things I grew up on, sometimes I get a little crazy in the kitchen. Now I don't have any kind of culinary experience (or natural talent) that for many would tell you "hey, don't do that, it's a terrible idea". I've had more than my share of these bad ideas, but every now and then, my foolishness gets lucky.

Steve's Speculoos Cookie Butter Dairy-Free Frozen Dessert

[By Nick] Tomorrow I'll be making my way down to NYC and the Javits Center for the Summer Fancy Food Show. Be sure to follow me on twitter and instagram for posts and updates throughout the day. Seeing as Dubba already covered one of the sofi award finalist products, it's fitting that I cover another one of them.

Ben & Jerry's Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core Ice Cream

[New for 2015, Discontinued] You know, it's a good thing I went back to Target this morning because the selection of cookie cores was already pretty well picked over... ok, technically it was a good thing / bad thing as I fell on the stupid black ice, but I'm fine since the car partially broke my fall. Anyway, let's check out the speculoos one first since that seems to be grabbing everyone's attention.

Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter Ice Cream

[New for 2014] For those who don't know, my family is made up of cookie spread fans. We always have Biscoff cookies and Biscoff spread (with backups) in the cabinet. It has taken the place of peanut butter in our house and not more than a few days goes by before someone is enjoying a Biscoff filled sandwich (I always have mine with marshmallow fluff). I used it to spice up some boring cookie dough ice cream way back in 2011. I've even tried it on celery. It's just great stuff [Note: we don't do the Trader Joe's cookie butter because it's cross contaminated with nuts unfortunately].

Haagen-Dazs Spiced Caramel Biscuit A limited edition ice cream review

Mmmmmm, ice cream for breakfast....  Ok, technically it was the second part of my breakfast, but it was still before 9AM. What can I say? I always get an urge for dairy on Sunday mornings! Usually I just make a tall glass of chocolate milk, but since the fridge is bare, I needed my fix another way.

That's were Haagen-Dazs comes in to play with their Limited Edition spiced caramel biscuit. If that sounds a little scary, then catch the description "for centuries, Belgian and Dutch bakers have perfected their traditional speculoos: crisp, buttery, sweetly spiced biscuits blah blah blah sugary, crunchy, cinnamon-sparked biscuit pieces blah blah caramel ice cream blah blah blah". Specaloos are a non-dairy, non-egg, non-nut cookie that we keep in the house (it's also made into a spread that I mentioned in this review). Speculoo is no Oreo, but it's a respectable cookie.
