When the warmer months are in full swing, sometimes we found ourselves seeking out a more refreshing flavor instead of the most indulgent. That, coupled with the fact that we just recently gained access to some of Friendly's premium ice cream flavors, led us to our review of their Coconut flavor. At only 120 calories, this is friendly on the waistline as well. This coconut base, free of mix-ins, melted down rather quickly, so we were hoping the taste could help to counteract the super soft consistency. Unfortunately, this lacked the real coconut pulp we were longing for and didn't include nearly enough flavoring to really set this apart from a standard sweet cream or mild vanilla. Regardless, our midday craving subsided enough to keep this from slipping down past an average grade and would be a great candidate to add to cake, cookies or brownies.
Where I Found It: Ingles Markets
