7-Eleven GO! Yum Double Cookie Dough Ice Cream
This outrageously tasty treat is loaded with two flavors of soft and chewy cookie dough, vanilla brown sugar and chocolate, each mixed with a heavy helping of chocolate chips. Cookie dough lovers rejoice. This pint is labeled as "Vanilla bean ice cream with brown sugar and chocolate cookie dough,both teaming with chocolate flavored chips"
The Vanilla bean base was a bit flat in flavor after scooping a few bites. Nothing really stood out in the vanilla bean flavoring. I found a regular vanilla bean coffee creamer packed a bit more punch than the 7-eleven base offered in this pint. After reading several other reviews and watching a video review most tended to agree with this statement. Nothing really stands out, there is no bold vanilla bean flavor that is present in most vanilla bean ice creams or gelatos.
The brown sugar and chocolate chip cookie dough teamed up with chocolate flavored chips sounds like a mouthful for mix-ins. This was the 2nd pint of 7-11 I have scooped and they tend to not let you down with a mix-in or swirl compliment. Nearly every bite contained small shards of chocolate flavored chips. The chips are very soft, melt right away in your mouth, and have a nice milk chocolate flavor to them. The amount of cookie dough in this pint is significant with every other bite if not more! the brown sugar cookie dough is hit or miss compared to the chocolate chip cookie dough . The brown sugar offers no real sweet or sugary compliment like you would expect. For only 2-3 brown sugar cookie dough pieces the only benefit from them was the similar texture to the regular cookie dough with no real change in flavor. The regular cookie dough mix-in offer a great raw cookie dough taste and perfect cookie dough texture in each bite. Very similar to cookie dough you would find at a coldstone creamery.
While this 7-eleven offering was not shy on the mix-ins (which I love) the base did not help this pint out. The weak base was a let down from the start, one of the weaker vanilla bean bases I have tried in my time. If they would of spent a bit more flavoring on their base to upgrade to something better like a Ben & Jerry, or a sugary vanilla base like Greater's offers this would be an easy A. The amount of mix-ins started to resemble that of 2nd street where it was loaded. The cookie dough pieces are not as large, but in a greater amount than most pints. From top to bottom this is loaded with chocolate, cookie dough, and a 2-3 pieces of brown sugar cookie dough. For cookie dough lovers this would be worth a scoop, for those who don't really care for cookie dough this is an easy pass.
