I have to admit, like many others, I was apprehensive about this flavour! But, also very curious! Bryers Double Chrun Banana Cream Pie Ice Cream was delicious! The banana taste was not too over powering and it wasn't too sweet either. I really liked the bits of "crust" in the ice cream. The texture was smooth and creamy, the way ice cream should be!
An excellent alternative to boring vanilla or chocolate!
Okay Breyers, you did it again! My fav. fruit is banana so I was excited and nervous to try out
Breyers Double Churn Banana Cream. I was worried since previous experiences on banana flavoured products are overbearing in scent and taste. Let me say, MMMMMMM..... the banana flavour is subtle but sweet, the graham pieces was like eating a pie in the mid of the summer! I hosted a girl's nite in, and though 2 out of 3 really enjoyed this, the other simply isn't a banana fan. We also created smoothies out of this ice cream and it tasted really good!
For a fruity taste with ice cream satisfaction, I praise Breyers on this Banana-licious dessert!
I was pleasantly surprised by this! I was worried that the banana flavor might be too overpowering. I love the taste of ice cream and wanted to be able to taste that as well. Well it wasn't overpowering at all! It was just the right amount. Just perfect. It was very smooth and creamy. A wonderful treat especially on a hot day. Just wonderful!
I was a bit hesitant in trying this flavour even though I enjoy banana-flavoured things, I adore banana-flavoured popsicles and liked the banana-flavoured medicine that I had to take once as a child. For some reason though, Banana Cream Pie just seemed kind of odd for an ice cream flavour. I am glad that I got over my aversion to the idea as this flavour tasted really good! It was a nice smooth texture and I also liked how there was a ribbon of the pie crust running throughout the ice cream, it added a nice pop of flavour. The banana flavour itself was nice and refreshing, though I wish the flavour was a bit stronger, it was a bit too mild in intensity to me. Definitely a yummy and unique flavour and I will buy again for sure!
My bias: I don't typically like or eat bananas, BUT I love pie:)
Pros: For banana lovers, this ice-cream actually tastes like bananas and it's quite light so that by the end of the bowl, there is not an over powering banana after-taste.
Cons: I didn't like the graham bits. It didn't remind me of pie crust, rather, they were just little granules that made the texture of the ice-cream kind of grainy. Normally I like some crunch in ice-cream treats, but this just didn't hit the mark for me - there wasn't a crunch so much as a sand type of feeling.
Overall, this wasn't my fave and I wouldn't buy it again. My children ate it and didn't like it either which is saying something! My son loves bananas, but didn't like the bits in it. My daughter also didn't like it nor did either of them take a second bite.
So I won't be pulling this one off the shelves.
I have to say, this one for me was definitely my least favourite of the the 3 flavours that I got to try with the Product Review Club. I am not a fan of banana flavoured products especially banana flavoured candy and cough syrup. It just has this weird fake banana taste normally - not at all like what a real banana tastes like.
With that being said, Breyers Banana Cream Pie has certainly exceeded my expectations. While I won't claim to say that I love this flavour or would buy it again, I will say that it was much more pleasant that I expected. For one thing, it tasted like REAL banana (not like the cough syrup flavour stuff). So if you like banana products you should love this one. I also liked that this had a crunch to it. I guess that would be the crust of the pie. One thing I didn't really like though was that I thought this was supposed to be extra creamy. I didn't find it to be as creamy as other Breyers Extra Churned flavours. I thought there was more of a milk solids taste to it.
To be sure, this was definitely better than I expected and if I liked banana products I would absolutely buy it again.
I was very excited to be chosen as one of the reviewers for the 3 new Breyers ice cream flavours. The ice cream party kit was very well presented, with 3 small bowls and 3 spoons to share the wonderful goodness with friends.
Double Churn Banana Cream Pie was the first flavour we tried. It's funny how many reviewers mentioned the dreaded childhood banana-flavoured medicine; that's exactly what I was thinking about when we were scooping out the ice cream! I'm not a fan of banana-flavoured anything at all. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The creamy texture is balanced very nicely with the graham cracker crust bits. The banana flavour is so subtle that if I hadn't known, I don't think I would have guessed it was banana. It's not overly sweet, which makes it a pleasure to eat.
The price is perhaps a little high, as others have mentioned, and I don't think I would go out of my way to buy this flavour, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to try it.
The first thing I notice was how creamy and smooth this ice cream was, it was wonderful. I was a little worried that I would not like it, as I am not a very big fan of bananas. There was a great banana flavour and a hint of vanilla. The crunchy pie pieces are great and compliment the flavour very nicely. This is not my favourite of the three but it is defenatly worth recomending to anyone who wants to try a new flavour or banana cream pie lovers.
this ice cream is creamy and smooth just like the other double churn ice cream from breyers.
i have never tried a banana flavored ice cream before but to my surprise i enjoyed it. it had a light sweet banana flavor that was very rich and creamy. if you have never tried banana flavored ice cream this is the one to try! (:
I was a bit wary of the Banana Cream Pie only because in the past, other banana flavoured frozen desserts have had such overpowering faux banana flavours, that they resemble that banana-flavoured medicine I used to have as a kid. But this was quite different. Along with my ensemble of ice-cream samplers, we dug in to a rich creamy ice cream with a delicious crunch of graham crackers swirled throughout. The flavour was just the right amount of banana and, complimented by the graham cracker, it actually tasted like Banana Cream Pie! At the actual tasting, this flavour was an instant hit despite many of us agreeing we may not have reached out for it while grocery shopping had we not just tasted it. It definitely hit both the ice cream spot and the dessert craving - you don't need to side it with anything BUT it goes nicely with the Velvet Dark Chocolate.
