Maine Blueberry Belgian Waffle Cone – Private Selection

The first thing that stands out with this flavor is the swirl. You go in expecting that classic, tart blueberry flavor, but instead, it’s surprisingly sweet, almost tasting like cotton candy?! It’s a bit confusing at first, but oddly, it works. It gives the ice cream this fun, nostalgic vibe, more playful than you’d expect from a blueberry flavor. It’s not what I was expecting, but I wasn’t mad about it either.

The base is a somewhat creamy vanilla that balances out the sweetness of the swirl. It’s smooth, with that classic, comforting vanilla flavor that lets the blueberry (or cotton candy) take center stage. It’s light enough that you can enjoy multiple scoops without feeling like it’s too rich. The blueberry swirl is generously spread throughout, so you’re getting a hit of that candy-like flavor in almost every bite.

Then there’s the waffle cone pieces, which add a nice texture. They’ve got that crunch you’d want from a waffle cone, and they stay surprisingly crispy even mixed into the ice cream. It gives you that satisfying mix of creamy and crunchy. The combination of the creamy base, sweet blueberry swirl, and crunchy waffle cone pieces works well together, even if the flavors aren’t exactly what you’d expect.

Overall, it’s a solid pick. The blueberry might be a bit more on the sweet side than some people are looking for, but if you’re into dessert-like flavors that lean more sugary than fruity, it’s a fun twist. The waffle cone pieces make it more interesting, giving you that mix of textures to keep each bite satisfying. Not a mind-blower, but definitely a flavor I’d pick up again when I’m in the mood for something sweet and a little different.

Final rating: 7.1/10.
