My FORKING Thoughts on Limited Edition Van Leeuwen Blood Orange Chocolate Chip French Ice Cream

I found this unusual Limited Edition Blood Orange Chocolate Chip French Ice Cream by Van Leeuwen at my local Walmart. I thought that sure is a FORKING interesting flavor. I’ll give this high fat ice cream a try.

This limited edition flavor has far more ingredients in it than their regular pistachio flavor. (Below is Van Leeuwen Sicilian Pistachio )

Below are the Limited Edition Blood Orange Chocolate Chip ingredients.

But it still seems more natural than a lot of other brands.

I open it up.

it looks sort of like cherry chocolate chip. I know blood oranges are a berry color and usually don’t look orange.

I taste some…….

This flavor is creamier or softer than most.

Actually each spoonful does taste different.

You get only a very faint citrus taste about one in out of every three or 4 spoonfuls……..Most spoons taste like vanilla chocolate chip. A few spoons are maybe like a faint berry taste.

It’s very good but is hard to identify as orange…. I’m yearning for some orange zest for this flavor to be better.

It’s actually better when you get less chocolate chips. The chocolate chips are EXTRA bitter…..they can pass as bottom of the pot coffee grinds.

It’s not bad but would be better with milk chocolate chips….The chocolate here is over-powering and bitter.

I asked my husband to taste it….He had a different FORKING Thought…He said it taste like vanilla with chocolate chips. He said he didn’t taste any orange or even citrus..but it wasn’t bad.

Not bad….so not a throw away.

I think this flavor might differ in every cup depending on the red swirls and chips that you get.

This one is a 50% that you will enjoy………

I do note your FORKING opinion may indeed differ.
