Jack Nicklaus Ice Cream - Product Review

Jack Nicklaus Ice Cream

Jack Nicklaus just unveiled a new ice cream line that will be available in Florida grocery stores this month for just $1.99. I was lucky enough to be sent a few samples to try out. I decided on Salted Caramel Toffee, Warm Spiced Butter Pecan, and Triple Chocolate




Warm Spiced Butter Pecan 
(Brown Sugar Ice Cream rippled with Brown Betty Sauce and Spiced Praline Pecans) 
Brown sugar ice cream, there is no way that can be bad! I liked the flavor profile and the strong flavor of this one. The pecans have a nice taste and they compliment the ice cream flavor nicely.

 Salted Caramel Toffee  (Maple Ice Cream with Salted Caramel and Toffee pieces)
 I really liked the flavor combinations in this one. It's sweet and savory at the same time! The toffee pieces gave the ice cream a nice little crunch and the flavor was very pleasant, not too overpowering.

Triple Chocolate
(Chocolate Ice Cream with Brownies and Dark Chocolate Flavored Chunks)
This one was my favorite. I am always partial to chocolate ice cream, so I figured it would be. I am also very picky about my chocolate and I can say that this one passes! I loved the brownie and chocolate add ins, and the overall flavor was great!

 Verdict: Liked it!
The ice cream is very silky and smooth. Once it was taken out of the fridge it was easy to scoop out, not like some ice creams that you have to stick in the microwave! If you are tired of the same old thing, give them a shot! They have some interesting flavors (listed below) so everyone should be able to find one they will like.
Here is the full line:
-          Coffee & Donuts
-          Salted Caramel Toffee
-          Strawberry Lemonade
-          Triple Chocolate
-          Warm Spiced Butter Pecan
-          Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl
            -          Homemade Vanilla

Jack Nicklaus Ice Cream Coming to a Freezer Near You 
 
The Golden Bear has teamed up with Schwan’s Global Supply Chain, Inc. 
to introduce seven flavors of premium ice cream, beginning in March, 
at Winn-Dixie, Bi-Lo and Kroger stores in select markets 
 

NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla.— Fans and competitors of Jack Nicklaus knew he had very few weaknesses in his legendary, record-setting golf career. There is, however, one weakness he confesses to off the course—ice cream—and now he’s giving into it and sharing it with the public. 

In a partnership between two great family-owned companies, rooted in the Midwest, comes Jack Nicklaus premium ice cream, manufactured by a division of The Schwan Food Company—the 60-year-old Minnesota-based manufacturer and marketer of fine frozen foods and nationally renowned for its home delivery service.  

The new Jack Nicklaus pint-sized ice cream will be available at Winn Dixie, Bi-Lo and Kroger stores in select markets with a suggested retail price of $1.99. The ice cream comes in seven rich and creamy varieties, loaded with real ingredients. Flavors include: Warm Spiced Butter Pecan, Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl, Salted Caramel Toffee, Strawberry Lemonade, Triple Chocolate, Coffee and Donuts, and Homemade Vanilla. 

To launch the new business endeavor, Jack Nicklaus teamed up with Schwan’s Global Supply Chain, Inc. (“Schwan”). With a shared commitment to philanthropy, Schwan has become a supporter of the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation (nchcf.org).  The Foundation’s goal is to provide families access to world-class pediatric healthcare. Beyond the ice cream pilot program in 2015, the Nicklauses hope to tie in other children’s charities to sales of the product. 

Between Jack, his wife Barbara, and Schwan, there was a detailed collaboration to perfect the line. 

“It’s no secret that I love ice cream,” Nicklaus confessed. “Needless to say, I have never had so much fun in the research and development of a product. The team at Schwan has a world-class product development center.  Together, we have created a variety of flavors—all with real ingredients—for a quality, premium ice cream at a value price.” 

The ice cream introduction extends the Nicklaus Companies efforts to celebrate the life and lifestyle of Jack Nicklaus by introducing quality consumer products, with a philanthropic tie-in. Among the Nicklaus-branded or licensed products introduced in recent years that benefit children’s charities are water, wine, lemonade, sunglasses, and golf balls. 

"Jack's whole life is synonymous with excellence, family, and charity,” said Nicklaus Companies Co-Chairman Howard Milstein, “and our new collaboration with Schwan embodies all three values in a hand-picked selection of delicious ice cream flavors that also supports children's healthcare.  What could possibly taste better?”
