Limited Edition Dreyer’s Banana Split Ice Cream

by

Limited Edition Dreyer's Banana Split Ice CreamI recently tried Walgreens Banana Split ice cream and was kind of disappointed in it, but that did not stop me from getting Dreyer’s Limited Edition Banana Split ice cream when I spotted it at the grocery store. Honestly, Walgreens brand is cheap and for a reason. It is not as good as the more premium brands, but it at least is still a good budget ice cream if you cannot get to a grocery store to get their brand (note: I am particularly partial to some of Safeway’s flavors). Thus I expected Dreyer’s version to at least be decent if not way better than the Walgreens version.

Limited Edition Dreyer's Banana Split Ice CreamLimited Edition Dreyer’s Banana Split Ice Cream has a base ice cream that is flavored banana. This part has a good distinctly banana flavor, which either the Walgreens flavor does not have or it totally fails at tasting like banana. The ice cream has swirls of chocolate and fruit (I think it is supposed to be strawberry) sauces. These really help make the flavor like a banana split without the whipped cream that I do not like anyways. The main problem with the Dreyer’s Banana Split ice cream is that it lacks any cherries, which the Walgreens version actually has. Even without the cherries it is way better than the Walgreens version and actually quite good. I fixed the cherry problem by adding some frozen dark cherries I had and that made it even better than a normal banana split because I do not really even like the maraschino cherries that they normally come with.
