A Mid-Summer’s Night Icy Treat with Swensen’s

Special thanks to Swensen’s!

Unbelievable but three quarts of the year has flown by and it’s time for Mid-Autumn once again! Icecream mooncakes joins the gourmet snowskin ones to tempt the younger generation. I grew up with Swensens and their famous birthday earthquake icecream concoctions – it was probably the Fubu of the icecream world, a must have and must do every birthday.

This year, Swensens’Pastry Skin Icecream Mooncake offerings include Strawberry Fields Forever, Sticky Chewy Chocolate, Durian Royale, Yummy Yam, Mocha Almond Delight and Cookie and Cream Dreams. They come in a box of 4 flavours, mix and match – I love variety so this works fine for me!

Strawberry Fields

I usually would not pick strawberry icecream because they tend to be artificially enhanced or too sweet. This is moderately sweet and a perfect after dinner treat!

I thought the chocolate was pretty decent - rich and chocolatey. 

Their unique snowskin is somewhat pasty and chewy. A word of advice not to leave it out to thaw too long, it tastes better straight out of the chiller.

Otherwise, this icy treat is a different take on the usuals that we find in the market. If these are not good enough to tempt the little ones to partaking of this seasonal treat, there is a Disney range as well. Only available in Strawberry Fields Forever and Sticky Chewy Chocolate flavours. Utterly cute and irresistible!

$16.80 for two (disney range)
$29.80 a box of four.

15% early bird discount is available!
