It was in
September 2014 that I last ate a Magnum ice cream. Recently I saw a pink version and I couldn't help myself so I bought one to try.
Pink Pomegranate Magnum. 7-11 sells this at MYR4.80 nett but I got it from Speedmart 99 at MYR4.10 nett. Other convenient stores sell it at MYR4.50 nett.
Luckily the coating is just slightly pink and not glaringly pink like its wrapper. The pink coating tastes like white chocolate and is very, very sweet.
Underneath the pink coating is a chocolate coating. Within the hard coating is the soft ice cream which tastes a bit like yogurt and the pink swirl in the ice cream is supposed to taste like pomegranate but since I don't remember exactly how pomegranate tastes like, all I can say is that the pink swirl has a pleasant strong taste so do try this if you like the smooth slippery feel of Magnum ice cream.
When compared to the very sweet pink coating, the soft ice cream inside is not that sweet although still sweet. Not for those who dislike very sweet food.
Magnums were my very very favorite ice-cream when I was a kid. I remember that back then, the only flavors they had were: milk chocolate & almond , dark chocolate and white chocolate....... I was suuuuch a sucker for white ones, but they were so rare :D I tried a pink one as well, but either I'm older, or I just don't like the Pomegranate taste... Probably, I'm just a white chocolate fan :)
ReplyDeleteNext time when I see a white one, I will try it for you! :D
Deletefirst it was Gold, then White and now Pink?! sure a clever way to boost their Sales! I wonder if there is Green (lime) or Blue (Blueberry)? LOL! I tried the Gold before and it was very very sweet too.
ReplyDeleteSo far I have not seen green or blue coatings on Magnums. Would be interesting if they are available.
DeleteMagnum ice cream are very saleable in SG
ReplyDeleteThey also have the Magnum Mini
Not really into ice cream for me
Very good that you do not like ice cream, no need to worry about them being fattening.
Deleteseldom eat ice creams now, or maybe just occasionally McD sundae at RM1.05 nett inclusive of GST!! haha..
ReplyDeleteSeems like you have not been eating McD sundae because the basic ones now cost only RM1 nett each (inclusive of GST)!
DeleteMagnum ice cream! My favourite. I still go for the classic one. I am not really into too sweet stuff. Once in a blue moon, okay with me.
ReplyDeleteClassic one is the one with chocolate coating and vanilla ice cream?
DeleteYou have made me greedy today as I plan to get this pinky stick today during lunch time. The weather is hot and this sweet ice cream is perfect to try.
ReplyDeleteSo did you eat the pink magnum today? If yes, did you like it?
DeleteI went to look into the ice cream box but no pink ones! I guess all sold out. I bought something else green.
DeleteAh, too bad no more pink ones. Next time then.
DeleteYes, I've tried. It's VERY nice. The other new one, coffee or expresso or something, has a hint of bitterness to it - may not go down too well with a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteOh, so you like the pink one! The pink swirl is kind of tasty in a way. I like the coffee one too, will be posting it soon.
DeleteWhen you mention that the coating is very, very sweet....I know it's not for me :(
ReplyDeleteYou can eat a bit of the coating because the ice cream itself is sweet but not very sweet. As you can eat some of the desserts you have posted about, I am sure you will be able to tolerate the sweetness of this ice cream without the coatings.
DeleteIf it is too sweet, then it's not for me.
ReplyDeleteSave the coating to eat a little at a time since that is too sweet. The ice cream inside is ok, sweet but not too sweet.
DeleteI used to like ice creams a lot but if it is too sweet, then I will give it a pass.
ReplyDeleteThe ice cream itself is not too sweet but the coating is.
DeleteBased on your descriptions, not for me then. :/
ReplyDeleteDo you like to ice cream in the first place?
DeleteThe original one, yes. But this pink one, sounds like the pink coating is those too-sweet coating. No thanks...
DeleteThen ok lah, you can eat this lah. Just take one bite of the coating and peel the rest off to keep in your freezer to eat one tiny piece as dessert after your dinner for one week. The ice cream is nice with the pomegranate swirl so you can eat it in one go without the coating.
DeleteAiya I do like the pink. But will pass since too sweet.
ReplyDeleteRemove the coating to eat bit by bit by storing it in the freezer. Just eat the inner ice cream. The pink swirl is tasty.
DeleteDowan dowan too much work haha.
DeleteNo pain no gain! :)
