Rochelle Adonis Pressed Lime & Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

With the heat of summer dawning upon us, I thought it was appropriate to buy a new tub of ice cream. As I was in the Northbridge area on Saturday, I dropped by Rochelle Adonis to pick up a tub of Pressed Lime & Vanilla Bean Ice Cream ($20.00 for 600 ml). A small sign priced a tub at $20.00 for 750 ml. Doh, false advertising.

There were many flavours to choose from, and they do change every few months at Rochelle Adonis. The two standouts on the list were the Pressed Lime & Vanilla Bean as mentioned, and the Sour Cherry & Dark Chocolate. The lady serving me indicated that the former was the most popular selling ice cream from month to month. So I chose it. The lady went out the back to grab a tub, came back out, placed it in a nice dainty stamped paper bag, and then sealed it with a pink sticker. It was a nice cute touch – I liked it. As it was roughly 37 degrees, I was advised to take it home immediately.

When I got home, I had a small taste before placing it into the freezer. I could taste a distinct tartness that was well complimented by the semi sweet vanilla bean flavour. It was also light and fluffy like soft meringue. In my honest opinion, I thought the ice cream was okay but not that fantastic. The price was ridiculously expensive, and I should have chosen the Sour Cherry & Dark Chocolate flavour!
