We Tried Trader Joe’s Strawberries and Cream Gelato

Trader Joe's was on a streak with great ice creams. The Yuzu Ripple and the Chocolate Raspberry sorbet/ice cream mix are pretty dang good. And this Trader Joe's Strawberries and Cream Gelato with candied strawberry pieces had the potential to be win #3 in a row. But...it reminds me a lot of a strawberries and…

Trader Joe’s Salted Maple Ice Cream Needs … More Salt

Around these parts, Molly Moon's makes the best Salted Caramel Ice Cream. It's got just enough salt to amplify the caramel and you're never asking, is this salted? I can't say the same for Trader Joe's Salted Maple Ice Cream. To be fair, the salted part here is apparently the Salted Caramel swirl, but my…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Very Chocolatey Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert

WHOA. I know everyone is champing at the bit for Pumpkin (Maple/Butterbut) Palooza to hit full force at Trader Joe's....but hit pause for just a second and don't skip Trader Joe's Very Chocolatey Non-Dairy Oat Dessert. When it says it is VERY CHOCOLATEY, it's not lying. So chocolatey I don't think it even needs…

Trader Joe’s Bomb Pops: Out of This World or Just Ok?

The upside of Trader Joe's Bomb Pops (or Out of this World Ice Pops, if you must) is that they're smaller than the ones we got when we were kids. And there are actual fruit flavors involved instead of just red, blue and white. What flavor was blue anyway? But when your freezer is already…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Horchata Ice Cream

Although Trader Joe's has been trotting out lots of non-dairy frozen dessert options over the last couple of years, it's interesting they went the standard dairy route for their Horchata Ice Cream. Sure, rice milk isn't necessarily known for rich creamy mouthfeel, but using regular dairy in this one and with a cinnamon forward…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Oat Milk Ice Cream Sandwiches

So far, I've been super impressed with all of Trader Joe's oat milk based frozen desserts. From the Strawberry Ice Cream with Almonds to last summer's fudgesicles, I mean, they have been top notch. Creamy texture, good flavors, not too oaty. So the bar has been set pretty high. Trader Joe's Oat Milk Ice…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Okie Dokie Non-Dairy Dessert

Things have been off to a slow start in the New Year, as far as Trader Joe's reviews go. We just aren't getting a lot of the new products that everyone in California has. And between major snow around New Year's and pass closures since then, it's just been a drag. Especially when what…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Peanuts for Chocolate Ice Cream

With all the ice cream and popsicles TJ's put out this summer, I've lagged on getting around to Trader Joe's Peanuts for Chocolate Ice Cream. And my freezer is pretty full. But, here we go! So, if you liked the Chocolate and Peanut Butter Dipped Joe-Joe's that came out earlier this summer, this ice cream…
