The Magnum Triple sounds very elaborate since it has a combination of white, milk and dark chocolate all in one ice cream bar. It’s a chocolate ice cream with a ripple of dark chocolate then covered in both white and milk chocolate.
Magnum Black Espresso is a Vanilla Ice Cream with a coffee swirl coated in dark chocolate.
Magnum Pink Wild Berry is a wild berry ice cream with a raspberry swirl and 2
coatings; one is white chocolate and the second is a pink colored chocolate.
I have yet to try the Triple but I would like to when I find it at a kiosk. I don’t care for berry ice creams so I will skip the Pink, even though I read quite a few raving reviews about it on line. If you enjoy berry ice creams you may want to try the Magnum Pink.

The other day I did have the opportunity to try the Black Espresso Magnum and here is what I thought of it.
The
Dark Chocolate coating was the perfect thickness and texture; it cracked off easily
when I bit into it but they were not stingy with the thickness of the dark chocolate.
You may know by now that I love dark chocolate, although this was not the world’s
greatest dark chocolate it was rich enough and I enjoyed
it as an ice cream coating.
The vanilla ice cream part was just OK. I know many people rave about Magnum’s ice creams but for me I would prefer if it was a drop creamier. I personally like Ben & Jerry’s ice cream texture better. I find it heavier and creamier but this vanilla Magnum ice cream was fine.
I could see the coffee swirl but I didn’t really taste it all that much. I found that the richness of the dark chocolate overpowered the espresso flavor and I might have missed the coffee flavor had I not seen it and known it was there.

Bottom Line: Since I really enjoy dark chocolate I liked the Magnum Black Espresso Ice Cream Bar enough but if you are looking for a coffee flavored ice cream this is not the bar for you. The dark chocolate coating overpowered the coffee flavor of the swirl. I thought the ice cream itself could have been creamier and richer but it wasn’t terrible.
Price: In my opinion it was overpriced; 12 NIS for an 87 gram ice cream bar is too much, but I bought it at a central bus station kiosk where I think highway robbery is "the name of the game" so I wasn’t shocked with the price. The fact is that I think almost all ice creams sold at kiosks are overpriced so this was no exception.

I'm curious to see what you'll have to say about the "Triple"-in my experience the Magnum series is a bit overrated and all the elaborate looking flavors end up falling flat, but I'd love to be proved wrong!
ReplyDeleteIf/when I try the Triple I will let you know.
DeleteI agree. I find that Magnum Ice creams are overrated and good point re: the elaborate ones falling flat that has been my experience as well.
