Other Summer 2020 Ice Cream: Earl Grey Lavender London Fog, Ruby Red Cacao, Ontario Peach, Ben & Jerry's

Peanut Butter Fudge Core (part 2 from Loblaw's)
It was chocolate and peanut butter ice cream with mini peanut butter cuts and peanut butter fudge throughout the ice cream. It was sweet and salty at the same time from the salty peanut butter. I loved the peanut butter chocolate cups - those were great and my favourite part of the ice cream. The fudge was also pretty interesting and added a chewy thick texture with a heavy peanut butter flavour, but after a while it got more salty rather than sweet and tasted more like peanut butter than chocolate. It's a good ice cream for peanut butter lovers.

Loblaws had a sale on Ben & Jerry's Ice cream for $2.99 (if you were a PC member), so I grabbed two tubs.

I was attracted to the chocolate milk and cookies ice cream since it was 150 calories (probably a good thing so I don't gain too much Covid weight). However, the flavours were also super muted. 

 
The chocolate flavour was really mild and the vanilla flavour was barely there (I guess it makes sense that it's "chocolate milk"). The ice cream texture was okay, but it was on the harder side. The cookie dough was also only okay and didn't have a particularly strong or sweet flavour either. Overall, the ice cream was only okay - I probably wouldn't get this flavour again though since I like strong flavours.

Food Basics and Metro were selling Ontario Peach ice cream on sale for $3.99. The first week of the sale, it was sold out Food Basics and Metro near me, but I finally found it this week at Food Basics. 

Peach Ice cream
It was delicious and tasted exactly like what I expected from peach ice cream - sweet and peachy with chunks of peach as nice little surprises throughout the ice cream. The ice cream was also kind of soft which was nice (as opposed to those really frozen ice creams like Haagen-Dazs). No wonder it was sold out everywhere! This is definitely THE ice cream of the summer.

Haagen Dazs Ruby Cacao Ice Cream bars 3 x 72ml
Strawberry ice cream dipped in a sweet and kinda tart/sour/bitter (?) chocolate (ruby cacao) coating. I found it really sweet and the cacao was kind of strangely sour/bitter.

After my fill of ube ice cream, I started noticing all the different kinds of ice cream available in Toronto. Like the Righteous Gelato on sale at Longo's for $5.99 - so I got a tub of Earl Grey Lavender London Fog.

It tasted like milky/creamy earl grey tea and lavender flavour, so I could see why they would market it with all the descriptions since it had a subtle milky and diluted flavour, but it was definitely more strongly lavender and earl grey. I'm not too sure I'd get it again, but it was fun and interesting.
