This was the first time I&#8217;ve ever had eggnog-flavored ice cream, and I loved it.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I didn&#8217;t love was the whipped topping, which I&#8217;ve mentioned in other Blue Bell reviews. There&#8217;s quite a bit of it in here, and it has the taste and consistency of Cool Whip. Now I have nothing against Cool Whip. When there&#8217;s a tub of it sitting out, I&#8217;m going to jam my finger in it for a taste. I might even take a second taste, but that&#8217;s about it. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/bbeggnogic3.jpeg?resize=600%2C690&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Blue Bell Eggnog Ice Cream Scoops\" title=\"bbeggnogic3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"690\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cool Whip is fine when it plays a minor role, so a scoop of this ice cream that is 80\/20 eggnog to Cool Whip is great. But when you get a bite with the opposite ratio, then it&#8217;s a little off-putting. So use that spoon wisely.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;m probably in the minority in that I don&#8217;t have a strong opinion on eggnog. It seems everyone else either loves it or hates it. If someone offers me some, I&#8217;ll probably take it, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever actually purchased eggnog. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/bbeggnogic4.jpeg?resize=600%2C394&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Blue Bell Eggnog Ice Cream Nog Mug\" title=\"bbeggnogic4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I think it can be delicious, but its consistency sometimes bothers me. It&#8217;s not as thick as a milkshake but not quite thin enough to pass for liquid, at least in my book. And if it&#8217;s a little too yellowish, it makes me think I&#8217;m about to drink uncooked scrambled eggs. I even get a little bit of a slimy or mucous-like vibe from some. Perhaps that&#8217;s why I liked this ice cream so much. It has all the taste and richness of eggnog without reminding me of nasal drainage!<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>If you are already on Team Eggnog, chances are you will really like this. If eggnog is on your naughty list because of its consistency, you might still want to give this a shot. And if you just don&#8217;t like the taste of eggnog, why are you reading this review anyway?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $6.17<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 1\/2 gallon<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> H-E-B<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2\/3 cup) 240 calories, 14 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 50 milligrams of cholesterol, 60 milligrams of sodium, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 24 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Blue Bell Eggnog Ice Cream?
