When was the last time you had Magnolia Ice Cream?

Definitely not during 1996 to 2001, because that time, it’s not Magnolia Ice Cream, rather Nestle Magnolia. It was shocking to know that Magnolia and Nestle are two different Ice Cream brand. Even my husband thought that Nestle is a low end brand of Magnolia Ice Cream. Confusing right? Oh well, now you know, don’t be confused again. The Magnolia that we love is back!

I must admit that when it comes to Vanilla flavor, we really look for the Magnolia seal, specially Ube flavor (the only flavor that we all love). Theirs is the creamiest. And this Christmas, Magnolia treats us to “Nuts, Cakes and Fruits”. TheMagnolia Ice Cream Christmas Limited Edition 2010

During the taste test we had, I fell in love withApple Strudeland why not? the taste, the smell and the appearance is so Chrismassy.. (if there is such a word). I knew right away that this will be the ice cream of our noche buena. While it was being described to us, Vanilla Praline was most appealing to me. I don’t get the pretzels in the Apple Strudel but when I had a taste of it.. oh….. nomnomnom (shout out to Jonel.. thanks!) The combination of crushed chocolate pretzels and the apple cinnamon bits plus the creamy vanilla flavor are soooo good.. the pretzels, I want so much!

It was such a surprise that Magnolia gave us a tub of each flavor to take home, in a thermo bag of course. The kids enjoy it but they like Caramel Cheesecake while I stay with Apple Strudel. In my effort to preserve my tub, I tried theirs (Caramel Cheesecake and Vanilla Praline), and discovered that it has the same nomnomnom goodness as with Apple Strudel. Vanilla.. caramel..nomnomnom..
