Creamy Creations Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Creamy Creations Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream by H-E-B Creamy Creations TREAT — score 43/90.

A premium dairy dessert made the simple way: milk, cream, skim milk and sugar, with only carob bean and guar gum for body and a little annatto for color. It is sugar- and fat-heavy by nature, but the ingredient list stays recognizable and free of industrial filler. A real treat, so enjoy it as one.

Why this verdict

• Indulgent dairy dessert, sugar and cream forward
• Simple, recognizable ingredients: milk, cream, skim milk, sugar, vanilla
• Only minor stabilizers (carob bean and guar gum) and a touch of annatto color
