'I was 100% prepared not to like this,' says Trader Joe's fan who 'devoured' viral new dessert – shoppers must act fast | 8Z45CU8 | 2024-04-28 17:08:01
A PINT-SIZED treat has already become a new summer favorite with fans going wild at the taste and price tag.
Ice cream lovers are rushing to their nearest Trader Joe's stores to find the new flavor that sees them buy in bulk and devour their stash in minutes.
For less than $4, customers are keen to get their hands on the retailer's Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream.
The ice cream is made with banana puree with swirls of salted caramel.
It also has pieces of vanilla-flavored wafer cookies distributed throughout the pint-sized delight to give potluck dessert tables a run for their money, according to Trader Joe's.
The retailer advises those who want to indulge to "treat it like a deconstructed, reconstructed banana split" by adding whipped cream, chopped nuts, and dark chocolate-covered cherries.
Though it is sold as an "excellent anytime treat," shoppers must be quick if they want to get their hands on the banana dessert.
The $3.79 ice cream is only available for a limited time as it is the latest addition to Trader Joe's "seasonal ice cream pints," according to an Instagram post by the retailer.
"I bought a pint there were only 4 left. I should have bought 2 at least," one shopper said in the comments.
"Could eat in a sitting. I really don't like banana anything! This was sooo very delicious."
"I was 100% prepared not to like this," another added.
"Instead, I had to stop myself from devouring the whole pint in one sitting."
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> Meanwhile, others called on the retailer to "make it permanent" on the same day the ice cream was announced.
However, some banana dessert connoisseurs have noted on Reddit that another pudding rivals the viral ice cream.
"The blue bell banana pudding ice cream is where it's at," one person said in a Trader Joe's Reddit thread.
"This tasted way too artificial to me."
Others agreed saying, "As someone who grew up eating homemade banana pudding very frequently every summer, the TJ's banana pudding ice cream reminded me more of an artificially flavored banana pudding packet rather than the real deal."
</div> </div> One said it will be on their "do not buy" list as a result of the flavor though fans of "banana-flavored candy/treats (i.e., Laffy Taffy, circus peanuts, banana-flavored pudding, etc.)" are said to "probably like" it.
It's not the first time Trader Joe's desserts have been slammed for having an "artificial" taste while other fans rave about them.
In the comments on a TikTok video, a reviewer called the retailer's Sprinkle sandwich cookies "dry and too sweet artificial taste."
Similar comments have been made about the lemon sheet cake though others gave it a positive review.
Meanwhile, those who prefer savory snacks to sweet desserts are raving about "the food fusion we need" thanks to another Trader Joe's concoction.
The retailer's Pizza Party Potato Chips is branded as a "pizza party in a bag," with crunchy chips flavored with a blend of cheese and garlic, pizza sauce, and pepperoni.
