This mango sorbet from Trader Joe's had a nice consistency / texture. Since it didn't have any orange or orange juice for flavoring, I could definitely taste the mango in it, which was also a plus since I like the flavor of mango. While it wasn't as sweet as maybe some other mango sorbets, it was still very sweet and mostly left me very thirsty after just a few spoonfuls.
We've seen and passed by Trader Joe's Pear Tartes several times, but last time, we finally decided to try one. I don't think I've ever had any type of fruit tart before since I don't really like fruity desserts.
We followed the conventional oven instructions on the box and heated the pear tart for 20 minutes in the oven and let it cool for another 30 minutes, although it's nice that it has microwave instructions, also.
The pear tart looked delicious, and the pears and custard were covered in a nice glaze. It had a nice, crunchy crust that was more dense than flaky, but I enjoyed it. The custard wasn't overly sweet and tasted of cream. The pears were tart and sweet, and their texture was just right; they weren't too mushy or crunchy. The overall flavor was very balanced.
Although the pear tart tasted good, unfortunately, both my boyfriend and I ended up with big headaches after having a slice each. I often get headaches when I eat foods with a custard, but my boyfriend usually doesn't, so it was odd that we both ended up with headaches. Because of our bad headaches, we ended up just throwing the rest away.

My boyfriend likes strawberry ice cream, and we both like vanilla and chocolate ice cream so we decided to try some of Blue Bell's Ultimate Neopolitan ice cream, which includes all three flavors. It didn't hurt that it was also on sale at Fry's (Kroger) for $3.77 for half a gallon.
All three of the ice cream flavors were super sweet. The vanilla and chocolate flavors are masked a little bit in the sweetness (but they still taste like vanilla and chocolate). The strawberry flavor was also super sweet, but it tasted the most like its respective flavor. However, I usually don't like fruit in my ice cream, and I didn't like the strawberry slices in this case so it was good for me that the three different flavors were partitioned into three different sections.
Although the three flavors were all sweet and eating this ice cream makes me thirsty, the ice cream still tasted good overall.
