Wegmans Banana Peel-n Ice Cream Review
Another Wegmans Exclusive Banana Peel-n is a Banana Base with Fudge Ripples, Marshmallow Swirls with Peanut Butter Cups. Just reading that label i was thinking to myself my god! At 310kcals a serving I was hoping for something as good as the nutter batter which I recently just devoured and was one of my favorites I have had in a long time! Wegmans does not get a lot of respect as a premium ice cream company, but after this pint and nutter batter their base is solid, and mix-ins are not lacking.
Upon opening the pint it was very clear the mix-ins will be heavy as you can see the ribbons of fudge, and small swirls of marshmallow in the base, not to mention small chunks which will soon appear to be peanut butter cups that were not lacking.
Taking my first bite I was aroused by the rich and flavorful banana base. Hands down the best banana ice cream I have ever had. There is no comparison as it was truly a fresh banana flavor that had a strong after taste. Now lets also remember that in every bite as it looked on the surface the marshmallow and fudge will compliment this base well and with that it did. I had a nice big chunk of a fudge ribbon and small hints of a marshmallow like you would find in a true s'mores flavored product.
As I continued to dig down the pint it was surly one of my favorites going through it. The base is top notch, a great banana flavor that is dense and packs an amazing banana afteraste like a true ripe banana out of the grocery store. Throw in a marshmallow ribbon that is not overpowering but just enough to compliment the pint with overall flavoring. The Fudge Ribbons are dense, very thick and almost like graeters chocolate chips at some point due to the richness/thickness in size. As the pint gets lower and lower the thickness of the swirl picks up to the point you are eating chunks of fudge. Not that I mind that, but it just amplifies the more you get towards the bottom. The Peanut Butter cups were killer, They are not as frequent as you would hope (i think i got maybe 8 tops) but they are not halved they are full little peanut butter cups you would get at a grocery store. These were not hard as a rock, but on the softer side and had a great peanut butter filling like a peanut butter truffle would be. Overall hands down one of the best pints I have had in a long time and may even crack my top 10 overall. Everything in this pint just went together very well and complimented each other perfectly. Off to pick up S'mores and see how this goes!
