"To avoid ice-creamy subjectivity, our taste-tester judged TJ's nine flavors based on the criteria of "level of creaminess in texture, flavor complexity, and the impulse to take a second bite," as well as "whether the ice cream tasted accurate to the flavor listed on the container." Indeed, when TJ's said "coffee bean blast," it meant it. This treat is bold, robust, and bursting with true java flavor in every spoonful."
"Trader Joe's delivers on quality as a general rule, but the ice cream flavor that topped our ranking put up especially high marks in the quality department. According to the grocery chain's official website, Coffee Bean Blast is made from a base of low-overrun ice cream, creating an ultra-rich texture. We also appreciate the straightforward ingredients list of milk, cream, egg yolks, cocoa, and cane sugar."
Coffee Bean Blast topped a ranking of nine Trader Joe's coffee flavors and scored highly among 17 frozen desserts. Evaluation criteria included creaminess in texture, flavor complexity, impulse to take a second bite, and accuracy to the labeled flavor. The ice cream delivers bold, robust, true java flavor in every spoonful. The base uses low-overrun ice cream for an ultra-rich texture. Ingredients include milk, cream, egg yolks, cocoa, and cane sugar. Boldness comes from real brewed Colombian coffee and bits of super-fine French Roast Colombian coffee beans. The quart retails for $4.99, undercutting pricier competitors.
