Ayyyyeeee the spirt of Christmas has truly arrived via @jenisicecreams new seasonal pint Cognac with Gingerbread. The perfectly boozy cognac base serves as a beautiful foundation for the lush, spicy, burnt flavors of the iconic holiday cake. The alcohol presence is very apparent on the first bite but pleasantly fades a bit against the more aggressive notes of the mix-ins. The cake is dense and exploding with rich spicy flavor and enough ginger to give a little tongue tickle on the bigger chunks. As good as the other elements are the real show stopper here is the caramel sauce. Hands down one of the best if not the best caramel I’ve ever had in a commercially available ice cream. Amazing sweet burnt sugar tones elevate the spice and booze to a Christmasy treat that is truly a work of art. Thick sticky and delicious 😋 Rating: 9/10 #icecream #jenisicecream #jenis #gingerbread #christmas #candy #cake #junkfood #food #iifym #flexibledieting #nomnom #caramel #eeeeeeats #bayarea

115% not surprised that I hate this new Gingerbread cookie from @questnutrition. Does it taste like gingerbread? Nah not at all. Does it taste like a cookie? Nope. Does it feel like a cookie? Kinda, and I’ll give them props for it having a decent moisture and chew to it, although that shouldn’t be too surprising considering how high the fat content is. As with all the other Quest cookies the prominent flavor is some weird science lab chemical, and without any chocolate chips to come save the day this is probably the worst one they’ve released. As a real cinny boi the spice level is too low as well, with just some hints of clove lingering beneath the surface. Easy easy pass.

Fully TBH 2018 has been a pretty whack ass year. Personally, politically, environmentally. It’s been rough for a lot of reasons. But it’s never so bad to not take a step back and be appreciative of all the amazing things we all take for granted on a daily basis. I’m incredibly thankful for the few close beautiful people in my life who know exactly who they are. Some incredible music that we’ve all been gifted, and for myself re-finding the music within myself that defined me for ten years. I’m also thankful for all of you ice cream and and snack lovers that have interacted with me for the last two years on this page. Everything in this picture except the turkey is vegan and it was fucking awesome. May the rest of your 2018 transcend to the ultimate heights of lit 💜💜💜 #food #foodporn #thanksgivingdinner

Target have been expanding and stepping up their frozen output throughout the year and closed 2018 with a major victory for the non-dairy brehs out there. Vanilla Cake & Cookie Dough is one of the ballsier vegan pints I’ve had and they surprisingly really pulled it off. The base has a nice sweet vanilla cake batter flavor to it and a pretty convincing smooth and creamy texture with just a bit of almond presence that’s better than a couple of B&J’s options. The mix-ins are where this flavor really turns it up - awesome chewy cookie dough pieces and thick swirls of semi-hardened chocolate. It’s wonderful. The cake pieces kind of blend in with the dough but I didn’t mind because I got chunkage in damn near every spoonful. This pint is solid and y’all dairy sensitive folks should swoop immediately. Tbh...9/10! #icecream #icecreamaddict #vegan #veganicecream #junkfood #food #nomnom #iifym #flexibledieting #cake #birthdaycake #target #nondairyicecream #eeeeeats #bayarea

Contrary to what it may seem like these last two months I DO still eat food, and especially ice cream. And I still write almost every day, I’ve just been writing about myself (@sespool853 for music) instead of other people’s creations. However, I gotta give a s/o to @yasso for their new seasonal Pumpkin Cheesecake pint cause for what it is this shit slaps. The base has a distinct yogurt tang to it that plays well to the cheesecake aesthetic and pairs fairly convincingly with the pumpkin spiced flavor Yasso was going for. It has great ice cream texture and the graham cracker swirl is up there with some of the best I’ve had. Gritty and buttery it pops up in prominent clumps that give a defined crunch to the generally smooth experience. Another solid release from this company. Skkrtskrrrt.

Pumpkin Cheesecake from @benandjerrys is back for the holiday season and after thoroughly enjoying two pints I can confirm I still really love this simple ass ice cream.
