Been hearing a lot about this ice cream.. and when Madame tried it, I think I just have to try it too.
Lucky for me, the supermarket we frequent got this on their freezer but Almond is the only one available. Bought it for 50 PhP.
And as soon as we’re done paying the groceries, I took it out of the wrapper and uh well.. I want to say I started eating it immediately but nah.. I took a few seconds taking photos of it.
Let’s start with the price, at first at thought it was expensive, specially that my favorite Pinipig Crunch can be bought for a little over 20 PhP. When I opened Magnum Almond Ice Cream, I realized it was priced right. The serving is really big, not to mention the chocolate coating is very thick and eating chocolate and ice cream at the same time for 50PhP is actually cheap.
Yes, that’s exactly how I felt while I was munching on it.. it feels like eating my favorite milk chocolate while licking on an ice cream.. I love the chocolate coating.. for someone who spend so much on chocolates, I find Magnum Almond worth it… but the chocolate coating and the vanilla ice cream don’t mix together (something that I was expecting).. it’s like eating chocolate AND eating vanilla ice cream.. something that you can do by buying chocolate and vanilla separately.. well I guess I am used to eating the usual pinipig crunch where each bite seems to be a wedding of vanilla and chocolate coating.. But yeah, buying ice cream and chocolate separately is not as cheap as 50 PhP, Magnum Ice Cream is your cheapest and best alternative.
Will I buy Magnum Ice Cream again? Of course I will! I still have to try the other flavor, Magnum Classsic and Magnum Truffle.
Magnum Ice Cream has been around since 1989 (source) but it was only this year that Magnum is brought to the Philippines..

March 17, 2012 at 2:41 pmIt’s really good :)))) the vanilla ice cream tastes just right,unlike other brands that are too sweet!
I actually felt guilty while eating magnum the other night, my kids are asthmatic so they can’t have one, but when my eldest daughter saw my stash of Magnums in the freezer the next morning, I knew she will do everything to get her hands on the ice cream. I can’t just let her feed on it so I came up with a newborn recipe, Banana Milky Magnum smoothie… The kids liked it! Hoooray Magnum!

March 22, 2012 at 9:43 pmI like Magnum too. I still feel P50 isn’t overly expensive because of the serving and the chocolate is just good. Don’t care about the hype. I just like it as is, with or without the hype. Nagkataon lang, we live in a world where social media is the trend kaya feeling natin lahat nahahype ng bongga.
