Flavor #5 – Oregon Marionberry Cheesecake

Welcome back to Tilla-Maya!

I hope everybody who celebrates Easter managed to have a nice one even in these times.

The next flavor I’m going to be reviewing is actually a frozen custard. I found out that Tillamook apparently also sells little pints! I was so excited that I had to pick some up. This one is called Oregon Marionberry Cheesecake.

In all honesty, I definitely tend to stick with flavors that I know I’d be more comfortable with, and this time I just wanted to try something that I wouldn’t have really considered trying before.

Cheesecake is really good to me, but I had no idea what a marionberry was. When I looked up marionberries, I discovered that it’s also called a “Marion blackberry” and that they actually originated in Oregon. They have a somewhat tart flavor with a hint of sweetness as well.

When I tried it, I was in HEAVEN. The marionberries are so good! They do have a tartness to them, and it complements the sweetness of the ice cream itself very well. The cheesecake pieces in there were very good, and I’m very impressed by it.

Once I took that first bite, I almost couldn’t stop. It truly felt like every single bite was even better than the last, and I went on a little tangent. I eventually stopped because my mom said she wanted to have some of it as well.

The ice cream is also very pretty! The marionberries created a nice purple swirl that was absolutely gorgeous and made the ice cream all the more exciting to dig into.

Do I recommend this? Without a doubt. This is officially going to be one of my go-to flavors.

Check here to see if you can find it in a store near you!

Thanks for dropping by, and I’ll see you all next week!
