Ben & Jerry's Lazy Sunday
I was fortunate to be around the pittsburgh area and got to get a pint of both the new Lazy Sunday and Gilly's as well as see they had other flavors like Salted Caramel Blondie (which i got) and Turtle Cheesecake (which i did not get). After a positive first go with Coconut 7 Layer which i never got to have before I had high hopes for this after reading a few reviews on Lazy Sunday
Lazy Sunday is labeled as:
"Vanilla cake batter ice cream with chocolate & yellow cupcake pieces & a chocolate frosting swirl" This Pint also comes out to 230 kcals a serving (which is on the lower end for some B&J Pints). Upon cracking the lid I saw a nice mix of Vanilla and Chocolate (from the swirl) and huge thick pieces of cupcakes (Cupcake Pieces). With that said I saw in other reviews the mix-ins were dense and with that said I was not let down.
First bite was unreal. The Vanilla cake batter is totally off the charts, why Ben & Jerry's have waited this long to utilize it in their base is beyond me. This really has to rival coldstone in flavoring and Ben & Jerry's Vanilla is superior over their chocolate if you ask me. Not only did I get a surreal vanilla cake batter base but I also notice that the chocolate frosting swirl is dense and thick in flavor. It kind of reminded me of how dense Turkey Hill packs their swirls in their quarts which is a huge positive. Not to mention the first bite I dug right for a cupcake piece which was very moist and flavorful.
This pint is full of win from first bite to last. The Vanilla Cake Batter base up there close to Ben & Jerry's Peanut butter base as their best on the line, and they compliment a solid base with a thick Chocolate Swirl. I would have to say that the chocolate swirl kind of reminds me a bit of a fudge compliment or traces of fudge in the swirl for how thick/dense the flavoring is which is always a benefit. Lastly the cupcake pieces are very moist and are plentiful throughout this pint. Nearly every other bit had a nice dime shaped size mix-in that complimented the rich vanilla cake bater base perfecly. Add in a nice chocolate/fudge tasting swirl and this pint is truly remarkable. I hope to see this released in pint form for grocery stores (not before Candy Bar Pie which I have been waiting for since last year!).
