Bubbies Key Lime Pie Ice Cream Sandwiches Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Bubbies Ice Cream, known for its line of mochi ice cream, introduced mini ice cream cookie sandwiches recently. The sandwiches are available exclusively at Sprouts nationwide with a suggested retail price of $6.99 - $7.99. There are two flavors, Key Lime Pie, Strawberry Shortcake. Each box contains six individually wrapped mini sandwiches. One sandwich is 1.25 oz

Key lime pie: This was really good. The golden cookie was soft like s shortbread or sugar cookie and was mildly sweet. The ice cream was firm, creamy, smooth, and tangy. It had lots of key lime flavor. Both the cookie and ice cream were better than the typical ice cream sandwich, though not quite as good as Jeni’s key lime pie froyo sandwiches. Also, the first sandwich I tried didn’t have much ice cream (see the picture). It didn’t look like the sandwiches pictured on the box. But the second sandwich looked normal.

One Bubbies sandwich is 110 calories, 5g total fat, 16g total carbs, 8g total sugars, and 1g protein. It is kosher and non-GMO.

4.5 out of 5 stars.

Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches Review

Fro-yo girl here. Yes, I’m reviewing an ice cream sandwich. Nightingale Ice Cream created chef-crafted premium (14% butterfat) ice cream sandwiches with Southern roots and European style. There aren’t too many high quality ice cream sandwiches in supermarkets, so these caught my eye when I spotted them at Bristol Farms and Helms Bakery. The sandwiches were $6 each at Helms Bakery in Culver City. Each sandwich is 5.2 oz.

Strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwich: The sandwich features “golden-crusted brown sugar cookie and strawberry ice cream.” I was surprised by the thickness of the cookies. The sandwich was about 2/3rd cookie and 1/3 ice cream, unusual proportions. The cookie is usually much thinner. The sugar cookies were really good. They were soft and crumbly. I could taste the butter and brown sugar. All that cookie overwhelmed the ice cream – which isn’t necessarily a negative. It depends on whether you prefer more ice cream or more cookie. The ice cream seemed fine but didn’t stand out. It had good texture (creamy and not too soft).

One sandwich is 420 calories, 12g total fat, 75g total carbs, 51g total sugars, and 3g protein. That's a lot of sugar.

Verdict, it’s a great, high-quality ice cream sandwich for cookie lovers. The other varieties are Cookie Monster, Banana Pudding, Mocha Brownie, Chocolate Blackout, The Classic, Key Lime Pie, and French Roast. I haven’t seen the Key Lime Pie yet. 

I prefer Jeni's Ice Cream sandwiches, especially the Key Lime Pie froyo with graham cracker cookies.

Le Café De La Plage Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich Review

Fro-yo girl here. Le Café De La Plage is a cafe in Malibu, California. I’ve never been there but I have seen their pints of sorbet and ice cream sandwiches in supermarkets like Whole Foods, Lassens, and Bristol Farms. They don’t have any froyo. 

Whole Foods had Le Café De La Plage macaron ice cream sandwiches for $4.99 each. Their products are non-GMO.

Rose macaron ice cream sandwich: The rose, raspberry, and lychee ice cream is sandwiched between two pink macaron discs. The macaron was delicate and light. The ice cream was so good – mostly tasted like rose but the lychee and raspberry made it more interesting and slightly tangy yet floral. It was dense, smooth, and creamy. I also liked the size – perfect for a snack. 

One 80g sandwich is 220 calories, 10g total fat, 27g total carbs, 25g total sugars, and 4g protein.
