Welcome back to Tilla-Maya!
This week I’m going to reviewing another one their pint-size flavors (they’re just so convenient), Chocolate Covered Strawberry, and this time it’s a gelato. How fancy!
Have I ever actually had chocolate covered strawberries? It’s very possible, but I don’t remember if I did. I love strawberries and I’m just going to assume that they’re good with chocolate on them.
For this flavor, it contained a mascarpone gelato, strawberry ripple, and fudge pieces.
It was really pretty when I opened the carton! The gelato was an ivory color, and the strawberry ripple was a gorgeous red that seemed to easily spread and swirl throughout gelato.
When I took the first bite, I literally could NOT stop.
The gelato itself was great and the fudge pieces were too; it reminded me of a classic chocolate chip ice cream. However, the strawberry took it to another level.
The strawberries were sweet, but not too sweet. Unlike the the strawberries in the sweeter ice cream, Oregon Strawberry (I reviewed that one here), these strawberries had more of a tanginess to it. The tanginess was PERFECT! If the strawberries had been sweeter, the entire flavor may have been too sweet for my liking. The tang contrasted with the other flavors and left me in awe.
When I say I couldn’t stop eating after the first bite, I meant it. I ate it all in one sitting. Technically I was supposed to finish it all off, because the seal on the carton clearly said, “Don’t stop until you reach the bottom.” I did my job well.
Would I recommend this? Of course I would! Tillamook has done it again. Am I really surprised? Not at all; they always come through for us. I hope you decide to try it for yourself!
Thank you so much for reading, and I’ll see you next time! 😊
