Every Foodie loves two things, first being CHOCOLATE and the other COFFEE. For me these two are those flavors, with which a lot can happen. As there is a saying 'A lot can happen over a cup of coffee' or else for chocolate, some say its better than sex.
I dont know what is true, but for me, when these two come together in a perfect blend, the flavor is just mindblowing. The right amount of sweetness from the chocolate, balanced perfectly with the bitterness of the coffee. Its like a match made in heaven.
Recently, a well know ice-cream brand - Magnum, came up with a new flavor and I was amongst the first one to try it out.
Below is the press release of the launch which took place on the 22nd Feb 2015 and along with the launch there was also a #MagnumMasterclass conducted by the World Barista Champion - Fritz Storm and Asia's best pastry chef - Janice Wong.
'Magnum ice creams, Unilever’s premium adult ice cream brand today launched its fourth variant, Magnum Choco Cappuccino. Made from a divine combination of coffee & chocolate, Magnum Choco-Cappuccino is made up of creamy vanilla ice cream, infused with swirls of smooth cappuccino sauce covered in thick cracking Belgian chocolate coated with sweet crunchy pieces that deliver a distinctive ‘crack’ with every bite.

Offering a taste of the Royal Magnum Experience, the Magnum
Masterclass took pleasure seekers on a flavour trail that enticed all senses. The
Masters helped enthusiasts discover different interesting pairings with Coffee

My Opinion, the ice cream has a very good crunch from the outer milk chocolate coating, with a smooth texture in the center with a little flavor of the coffee. To me, it was a bit extra sweet, if dark chocolate was used instead of the milk chocolate on the coating outside, it would have made a big difference, also little more coffee for a person like me who loves coffee.
