Summer Heat Beater: Selecta Gold Ice Cream
I would never have discovered Selecta Gold Ice Cream's Gold Series if it weren't for my sugar-addicted sister who brought home Selecta's Chocolate Truffles. There are three flavors - Chocolate Truffles, Hazelnut Brownie and Berry Strawberry. These are sort of Selecta's designer ice cream flavors made especially by Chefs Gamboa, Laudico and del Rosario. I haven't tried the strawberry-flavored ice cream yet because I usually end up hating strawberry-flavored food. They're just too sweet.
Chocolate Truffles was designed by Chef Roberto Laudico and used imported gourmet Belgium chocolate as ingredient. Fabolous! That's why it had a rich and heavy chocolate flavor but not too sweet. My sister, a chocolate addict, marked this one as her favorite. You'll like this as well if you're looking for an ice cream that's creamy and chocolatey.
My favorite's the Hazelnut Brownie flavor, designed Chef Sau del Rosario from ground hazelnut paste and fudge brownies. I love how this ice cream is so moist and fudgie, it even has large chunks of brownies! I paired this with chocolate cake that's a tad sweeter than the ice cream. A perfect combo for a hot laid-back afternoon.
We got to buy these babies for 190PHP at 7-11 stores (I think they were sold exclusively here for some time) but about two week ago, I saw these being sold at Mall of Asia's hypermart for just 160PHP. Super bargain! So, I bought three pints LOL.
