Wegman’s Premium Ice Cream - Wegman’s : Cherry Hill, NJ

I was so impressed with the Wegman’s premium banana ice cream, I decided to try this cherry one. (Which looks a lot like Cherry Garcia, my favorite Ben and Jerry’s flavor.)

The design is just like the banana, but with a red color scheme. While it doesn’t look that great in person, these bold designs really photograph well.

The ice cream has a deliciously sweet black cherry scent. Right off the bat, this looks a LOT like Cherry Garcia. I can see chocolate fudge flakes scattered on the surface of the ice cream, but there wasn’t any sign of the cherries.

As I scooped the ice cream I found several black cherries hidden under the surface. The fruit bits are always my favorite part, so I was really happy that there were a lot of them in my first scoop.

This looks and smells like Ben and Jerry’s, but it isn’t quite the same. The ice cream has a strong black cherry flavor, which I like, and there are plenty of add-ins throughout the pint. The chocolate flakes aren’t quite fudge-y, they are more like little bits of dark chocolate, which isn’t a bad thing. This tastes great! (It just doesn’t taste like Cherry Garcia.) The overall flavor is a lot like chocolate covered cherries.

While I liked this ice cream, I’d rather have a pint of Cherry Garcia. I think I’ll use this to make some root beer floats. (I always use cherry ice cream for my root beer floats, and using this means getting little bits of chocolate in my float too!) I’m still very impressed with the Wegman’s banana ice cream, and I would still love to try more flavors.
