I am just stunned just how much this Tyra’s Holiday Ice Cream Gift Box really costs. An amount so high feels like a giant wave coming from the ocean. Yes, that’s right a price of $109.95 and with tax it became to be $116.95 in total, sold from Gold Belly. Wow! as much as I love ice cream, I never thought I would ever spend this much on it.

Tyra’s Holiday Ice Cream Gift Box

Just to say that this Gift Box it really is not a box, it is shipped inside a bag. I mean, how can you give this as a gift when it’s not shipped in a box? Anyway, that’s not really a big deal, but the price of $109.95 is.

Last year during the holidays I purchased The Rocks Dwanta Clause Ice Cream, which was $65, and I thought that was overpriced. Now, this year paying over $100 for ice cream sounds outrageous. It comes in a pack of 6 with 3 flavors making it 2 of each in size 14oz.

The flavors:

  • My Mama’s Peach Cobbler Tastes Better Than Yo Mama’s – Even though it’s called peach, there really is no peach taste at all. It even has a few bits of peaches inside, however even those peaches don’t taste like peach. It’s as if you are eating basic homemade cheesecake. You can taste the breading, but just not the peach. Great tasting ice cream, and very sweet. (Surprize: Sock-It-To-Me Cake chunk drenched in Caramel)
  • Whisky Nog – You would think it has whisky, but it has no whisky. As I was looking at the ingredients, they are using whisky alternatives. This only means that it is perfect for those who are avoiding alcohol, however it really doesn’t make sense. I mean for a very high price of ice cream; I would at least expect real whisky inside this ice cream. It has Dulce de Leche drizzle which you can’t taste. It also has white chocolate eggnog and cinnamon shortbread cookies, but they are silent on the taste. The whiskey is just dominating the taste, and it’s just taste not real whiskey. (Surprize: Gooey Pecan Pie chunk)
  • Vegan Santa’s Mint & Cookies – Wow! this is an absolute masterpiece, an A+ ice cream. But it has Oreo cookies, I mean they could have used real house made vegan cookies and not cheap Oreos. It is non-dairy and it has vegan fudge which makes this yummy. The taste is amazing as the mint is extremely low and it has a high butter taste. Very pleasing and satisfying ice cream with this Vegan Santa flavor. (Surprize: Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Truffle)

Surprize

What separates Smize Creams from others is that they come with a surprise at the bottom. They are calling it “Surprize” with a “Z” and it is a yummy treat.

Overall

I just can’t be satisfied because I paid over $100 for this ice cream, and it doesn’t make sense. It is chemically made which that only makes this similar to cheap brands. On top of that, the whisky is not real, the peach doesn’t taste like peach, and the Vegan Santa is using cheap Oreos.

Pecans on Whisky 

I wanted to add that the Pecans in the Whisky Ice Cream is just amazing. For some reason whisky and pecans are just made to be together. The Dr. Mayas Spiced up Pecans is great with the whisky flavor, but I think regular pecans instead of spiced would be better.

Not Worth the Bucks

I really don’t think this Gift Box is even worth the try. If they were 100% natural, I may have said, “Sure.” But they are chemically made and nothing really so special for such a high price. I think reasonably $40 would be the right price for this set.

Unboxing

Very grateful with the shipping from Gold Belly, the ice cream came not melted. It arrived with Thermos and dry ice inside along with the 6 ice creams.
