I bought some of Dreyer's French Silk ice cream since I like both chocolate and vanilla flavors.

Upon researching this ice cream before I tried it, most people seemed to think it is pretty good, and I learned that Dreyer's French Silk is also Adam Lambert's favorite ice cream... I don't really know much about him, but I at least hoped that he had a good taste in ice cream.

The description on the container states that the ice cream is chocolate mocha mousse with chocolate chips and is swirled with vanilla mousse, which also sounded pretty good.

I'm not sure what makes a mousse... but the ice cream did taste like a mousse-y chocolate ice cream with some vanilla ice cream and chocolate chunks folded in. It didn't taste too sweet, and it was super delicious! The chocolate chunks in the ice cream were my favorite part!

I had a coupon that expired at the end of January for a Carvel ice cream cake, so I decided to use it at Fry's (Kroger). The ice cream cake I got was just one of their smaller, ordinary cakes (not a holiday or football themed one). The directions on the box state to thaw the cake in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes after being frozen, but I ate it without thawing it since I prefer harder ice cream.

The whipped icing on top was lighter than some icings/frostings, and it isn't too sweet. The vanilla layer of the cake also didn't have an overwhelmingly rich vanilla flavor. The chocolate part tasted just like chocolate ice cream and had some crumbly bits, however, the bottom chocolate layer of the cake did melt quickly. The cake was a nice, delicious treat.

REVIEW – Dreyer’s Vanilla & Chocolate Grand Ice Cream

I tried some of Dreyer's half vanilla, half chocolate grand ice cream from Fry's/Kroger. My favorite ice cream flavors are vanilla and chocolate so it seemed like the perfect ice cream for me.

Both flavors had a nice, creamy texture (but wasn't super soft like frozen yogurt).

The vanilla seemed a little on the sweet side compared to some other vanilla ice creams I have had, but it was still pretty good. One thing I often dislike in vanilla ice cream are the vanilla bean dots in them. This vanilla doesn't have those foul dots so that was also good for me.

The chocolate ice cream has a sweet, chocolate flavor, and it goes very well with mini chocolate kisses on top!
