It fuels dark visions of the end times and makes one wonder whether the city of Denver is the ideal location for a zombie demon invasion, what with the mountains providing protection from the hordes of undead monsters and all.  It also invites speculation as to whether the airport\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Zombie Demon Horse, itself, would be the thing that allows these foul creatures to enter our dimension.  Would this 32-foot statue be the glowing, neon sign that declares &#8220;Denver is Open for Zombie Demon Business?&#8221;  I only mention this Zombie Demon Horse because it has exactly one thing in common with the new H\u00c3\u00a4agen-Dazs Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble ice cream:  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blue.  <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/5473460282\/\" title=\"Haagen Dazs Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble Open Carton by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5012\/5473460282_f3ce907870.jpg?resize=488%2C500\" width=\"488\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Haagen Dazs Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble Open Carton\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Much like being subjected to night-terror-inducing public works of art, it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t often that we encounter naturally-occurring blue food.  I can count all the blue foods I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve eaten on one hand:  blue potatoes, blue corn chips, bleu cheese (it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the mold that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blue), and, of course, blueberries.  There is no shortage of blueberries in H\u00c3\u00a4agen-Dazs Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble, which gives it a nice, violet color.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s smooth and isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t clumpy, which certain types of fruity ice cream seem to be.<\/p>\n<p>With my first bite, I was wowed by the Blueberry Crumble\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s flavorful combination of real blueberries and fresh cream.  The packaging boasts of ripe, simmered blueberries, and frankly, I think they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve hit a home run with the recipe.  Nothing about it tastes artificial \u00e2\u20ac\u201c this is made from real fruit.  A quick scan of the ingredients lists confirms a refreshing lack of chemical additives and preservatives.  <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/5473460468\/\" title=\"Haagen Dazs Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble Scoops by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5011\/5473460468_1a42b9291d.jpg?resize=500%2C352\" width=\"500\" height=\"352\" alt=\"Haagen Dazs Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble Scoops\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The texture of the ice cream is smooth and dense, and the crushed blueberries are evenly mixed throughout.  However, the &#8220;cobbler crust crumbles&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c tiny pieces of buttery cobbler that have been folded into the ice cream &#8212; are not as plentiful as we are led to believe.  Every third bite may include some of the crumble, but overall, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mostly blueberry-flavored ice cream.  Not what I expected, since the label strongly suggests that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be digging into something that would be at least 50 percent crumbly.  The tiny bits of cobbler taste yummy and are an interesting addition, but the pieces aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t large enough and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t add much to the experience.  The Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble is tasty, but I wish it was bursting with cobbler crumbles.  <\/p>\n<p>The H\u00c3\u00a4agen-Dazs Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble may be just the thing to have in the mountains while we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re taking shelter from the zombie demon apocalypse.  It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pretty cold up there, so we can leave the ice cream just about anywhere.  In fact, it may be the only thing we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have to eat for months, since the power grid will go down within three hours of the Zombie Demon Horse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s clarion call to arms for the denizens of the Underworld.  I suggest you start stocking up on Blueberry Crumble now and head for the hills.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts- \u00c2\u00bd cup (102 grams) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c250 calories, 140 calories from fat, 15 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 60 milligrams of sodium, 24 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 21 grams of sugar, 4 grams of protein, 0% vitamin A, 8% calcium, 0% vitamin C and 0% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> H\u00c3\u00a4agen-Dazs Limited Edition Blueberry Crumble<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $3.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 14 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Vons<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Made from real blueberries and fresh cream.
