Remember the Selecta Gold Label ice cream flavors that were released this summer? For those of you who haven’t heard of it, the Selecta Gold Series is created by Selecta and Manila’s finest chefs to satisfy discriminating palates without breaking one’s budget. I love bingeing on those from time to time, particularly the Hazelnut Brownie one. But the fourth Gold Label flavor is fast becoming another favorite. That’s right – there’s a luxurious addition that came out just this month. Vanilla Almond is the masterpiece of Chef Ariel Manuel of Lolo Dad’s Cafe, one of the country’s most awarded culinary experts.
When it comes to vanilla ice cream, I only think of them as toppings for warm apple pie or for making Coke floats with. However, Vanilla Almond is good enough to eat on its own. This mouthwatering vanilla ice cream is loaded with roasted whole almonds from California’s Great Valley and ribbons of golden caramel fudge. The crunchiness of the almonds provide exciting texture to the creamy, velvety ice cream base, and the caramel swirls a delightful touch. What I like best about this flavor is that it doesn’t feel as sinful as the Chocolate Truffle and Hazelnut Brownie ones; it’s light enough to top off a moderately heavy meal, but rich enough to satisfy cravings for ice cream.
Vanilla Almond is now available at all supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide.
