Reviewing Mac & Cheese Ice Cream

I got my hands on the limited edition ice creams from Van Leeuwen including Mac and Cheese, Pizza, Earth, and more!

[@mikenixon2401]

Appreciate your bravery, Matt. I'd have to try it if I'm going to be critical of it, but I'll trust your judgement.

[@sarahprince2412]

It’s actually really good. I tried it and like it.

Yeah Alabama & Tennessee rivalry is like Tennessee/Florida football rivalry. 😂 Personally you can have it all. I grew up in Alabama & supported Alabama against Tennessee while living here in Tennessee. LMAO at the looks I get doing it at work!😂

Magnolia (a Philippines brand) makes cheese ice cream. It has chunks of cheese in it. It’s one of the principle scoops of ice cream found in a halo-halo. It works, but most folks wouldn’t buy a carton of it.

Matcha ice cream is heavenly! Will definitely be getting that if I find it. It’s more of an acquired taste for those not used to different teas. 🍵

[@screwylooygaming]

It ain't for everyone. Personally I like trying different variations. it's good when it's evenly blended and not grainy, to me.

[@lagiles16]

I like Macha tea just not in my ice cream, same as pizza & Mac & cheese. Some things just don't play well together ;)

Aldi has a good matcha mochi ice cream (ice cream balls wrapped in mochi).

[@jennifero3883]

I love matcha as well. I bought the wedding cake one to try it out and I like the taste. I guess it just has to do with being accustomed to different tastes.

[@bulbousborb]

I recently discovered those ice creams where I live. I bought some of the not as weird flavors like blueberry shortcake and planet earth (it's just called planet earth because of the colors, it has flavors like matcha, almond, and spirulina), and they were pretty good. Hopefully, I'll be brave enough to try flavors like pizza someday.

[@videoluvr4204]

the blueberry shortcake was delicious

[@johncoxmastercartoonist9390]

Planet earth should *not* be a flavor of anything... unless maybe it's really mint, because that tastes fresh.

[@MelissaThompson432]

I think maybe it was supposed to have a fresh cut grass after rain kind of flavor...? Because matcha is very grassy.

It's from hipsterville. I have had their cashewmilk based ice cream in the store and it has wayyyy to much salt. They have some nice regular milk flavors in store, but expensive as all get out. Usually find tourists, teens and crunchy granola vegan hipster moms there....not really affordable snack on a weekly basis. And it's a couple blocks down the street from Trader Joe's which should tell u everything u need to know

[@jennifero3883]

Good to know they have nondairy flavors due to my lactose intolerance.

It's not for everyone, and some applications are not well done. Matcha Mochi is a confusing experience, but could be worth it to some. I've had some Kit Kats though that it was still grainy there was so much un-absorbed powder it tasted like I had eaten coffee grounds.
