Connoisseur Gourmet Ice Cream

Coles Supermarkets recently had a special on Connoisseur Gourmet Ice Cream, so what better opportunity to 'try it out'!

Cookies and Cream
The blurb states that they "crush premium dark chocolate cookies and fold them gently into rich vanilla ice cream". This is exactly what the ice cream tastes like. There is a slightly grainy crunchiness that you would expect with eating a firm choclate cookie, like a chocolate ripple biscuit, but the ice cream base is very smooth and creamy. There is a generous number of cookie chunks. Very moreish!

Summer Strawberry
This is quite a delightful little surprise packet, packed with tangy real strawberry flavour. It contains "pureed summer strawberries and a swirl of strawberry sauce". The sauce has a lovely intensity of flavour, and the ice cream base is gorgeously creamy without suffering from excess sweetness. The uniform soft pink colour is brken up by the darker (almost brownish) saucy swirls. Very enjoyable!
