I love banana ice cream and was really excited to try this but it was not what I expected. It was very creamy and rich but it tasted like butter. I was hoping for a fresher banana taste like some of the gelato companies make or the old Lambert company blend. My husband and kids did enjoy it but I think I would opt for regular vanilla with bananas on top!!
I love this brand of ice cream but this flavour tastes like butter. I recommend the chocolate cheesecake!
I have mixed feelings about this ice cream-- I really liked the banana flavour, the rich, velvety smooth texture of the ice cream and how refreshing it was...
But I really hate the gritty, syrupy band of "pie crust" throughout the container. I think it really takes away from the whole idea of double-churned. I expected a delicious and smooth experience that I could roll around my mouth, but instead I found a bunch of grit in my teeth.
I don't think it's a good idea to mix the two textures in this ice cream. If they wanted to inlude the "pie crust" taste, then they should have included actual chunks of it, and not some mealy, grainy stripe in the centre. It really ruined the banana portion of it for me. My roommate and mother agree with me.
If you don't have such an issue with uncomplimentary textures in your ice cream then go ahead and buy this--I liked the light banana flavour. Otherwise I would take a pass.
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 a confession...I actually hate banana ice cream desserts. However, I received the lovely Breyers package from the Product Review Club and thought I'd give it a try and offer the dessert to friends when they came to visit. Although this flavour would not be my first choice, I personally found this dessert to be delicious. The ice cream had bits of graham crackers and the banana flavouring was rich and creamy. On the other hand, almost all my friends LOVED the ice cream! After tasting the ice cream at my place, a few of my friends went straight to the supermarket to pick up the ice cream for themselves!
The only things banana I like are the fruit and banana bread...so I really wasn't feeling this flavor...the flavor was too overpowering and I didn't like the bits of pie crust in it either...
Even my boyfriend's mother who loves banana & ice cream, didn't like the two together.
This ice cream was pretty good. I'll say up front that I don't really like Banana Cream Pie, so I wasn't the best candidate for this flavour (I was sent the ice cream as part of the Product Review Club). The Banana wasn't overwhelming, but it's still not my favourite. I'm much more of a chocolate ice cream kind of gal.
