Madrina's Ice Cream Review, Rebate and Promotion

Madrina's Ice Cream

I recently was introduced to Madrina's ice cream.  All I can say is, "Wow!"

I picked up four flavors at Shop 'n Save, came home and lined them up on the counter, got spoons out, and we all started to dig in.  My kids and husband thought I had lost my mind.  I never (at least when I am present) allow anyone to eat or drink out of the carton.  But, why not when we are taste testing?  In a couple of bites, we all knew Madrina's Ice Cream  was going to be a new family favorite.

Mango Mango -  Mango Flavored Ice Cream with Mango Flavored Swirls.  My seventeen-year-old's favorite.   This ice cream really tastes like mangoes. The flavor makes me think of sherbet with an ice cream texture. I have never bought mangoes, but after eating Mango Mango, he asked me to buy some.  I can't disagree -  I hope fresh mangoes are as good as the ice cream.

Pina Riz  - Pineapple flavored Ice Cream and Raspberry Flavored Swirls.  This is hubby's favorite flavor.  He's not much of a fruit eater, so Mango Mango was a bit too flavorful for him. He likes the lighter fruity taste better. And, he doesn't like his coffee cold.

Cafe con Leche - Blend of Coffee and Cream. My twenty-year-old's favorite.  He lives on coffee to get through college, so why not get that coffee flavor in his ice cream, too.  His only disappointment is that Madrina's is not yet sold in Minneapolis.

Espresso con Chocolate - Roasted Espresso Ice Cream with Chocolate Swirls. This was my favorite.   If you love strong coffee with your chocolate, you would love this flavor, too.

Madrina's has two flavors I didn't find at my Shop 'n Save  - Horchata Swirl and Coconut. We can't wait to try those.
