Now whenever you have to watch something boring, like C-SPAN, you can say it&#8217;s like watching Cold Stone Creamery&#8217;s JELL-O Pudding Ice Cream melt, because it takes a while for this decadent dessert to do so.<\/p>\n<p>According to Cold Stone Creamery, their new Jello Pudding Ice Cream doesn&#8217;t melt, instead it turns into pudding.  I tested their claim by sticking in a bowl a spoonful of the butterscotch pudding ice cream and a spoonful of the chocolate pudding ice cream.  Then I set up a video camera and let nature take its course.<\/p>\n<p>I shot the pudding ice cream action for an hour, but through the magic of speeding up video, editing and strategically placed video transitions, you can watch all the sexy pudding ice cream-on-pudding ice cream action in under two minutes.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Although I should warn you that sexy pudding ice cream-on-pudding ice cream action is 100 times less sexier than it sounds.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-yn3f8mUs0c?si=C9Z4HIxmw3f8PAF9\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As you can see from the video, the pudding ice cream doesn&#8217;t melt into a liquid, instead it does what Cold Stone Creamery said it would do, which is turn into pudding.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0And watching that happen is like watching paint dry on growing grass.<\/p>\n<p>For the experiment, I used the chocolate and butterscotch flavors of the Cold Stone Creamery JELL-O Pudding Ice Cream, but in some locations they also offer vanilla and banana flavors.  Like my armpit hairs, I kept my pudding ice cream au naturel and didn&#8217;t add anything to be mixed in.  The texture of the pudding ice cream is definitely not like any other ice cream I&#8217;ve had.  It&#8217;s soft and pliable, like a Russian gymnast, and it doesn&#8217;t get hard, making it easy to scoop.  When I put it in my mouth, it starts off with a texture similar to ice cream, but after a few seconds in my warm mouth it changes into a feel that&#8217;s more like pudding, albeit kind of a really gooey, slightly chewy pudding.<\/p>\n<p>I think the chocolate flavor tastes very similar to a McDonald&#8217;s Hot Fudge Sundae, a belief that Cold Stone may not agree with since they are a premium ice cream maker and not a cheap ass burger maker.  But I really like the Hot Fudge Sundaes from the House of Ronald, so I really like the flavor of the chocolate pudding ice cream.  As for the butterscotch flavor, it also is also very good.  It has a nice gold color and a delightful butterscotch flavor that tastes like I&#8217;m sucking on a hard butterscotch candy.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I enjoyed both flavors of the Cold Stone Creamery Jello Pudding Ice Cream.  They&#8217;re rich and creamy and they have really great flavor.  The texture of the pudding ice cream may throw off some people and the extremely high saturated fat content might scare a few, but it&#8217;s definitely something that&#8217;s interesting to try.<\/p>\n<p>Although it&#8217;s definitely not interesting to watch as it melts.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutritional Facts &#8211; 1 Love It &#8211; <b>Butterscotch<\/b> &#8211; 550 calories, 28 grams of fat, 18 grams of saturated fat, 1 grams of trans fat, 105 milligrams of cholesterol, 450 milligrams of sodium, 73 grams of carbohydrates, 64 grams of sugar, 8 grams of protein, 25% vitamin A and 15% calcium.  <b>Chocolate<\/b> &#8211; 550 calories, 28 grams of fat, 18 grams of saturated fat, 1 grams of trans fat, 105 milligrams of cholesterol, 360 milligrams of sodium, 73 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 62 grams of sugar, 8 grams of protein, 25% vitamin A, 15% calcium and 4% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Cold Stone Creamery JELL-O Pudding Ice Cream (Butterscotch &#038; Chocolate)<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $4.59 each<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  Love It (about 8 ounces)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Cold Stone Creamery<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  7 out of 10 (chocolate)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  7 out of 10 (butterscotch)<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Both flavors are really good.
