We Tried the New Snoop Dogg Ice Cream—Here’s the Scoop

“When I am no longer rapping, I want to open an ice cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg,” said Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., aka Snoop Dogg. And you know what? Talk about a man with follow-through. If you aren’t already aware, Snoop has an ice cream brand called Dr. Bombay, which is named after his Bored Ape NFT (I know, I know). Last summer, the brand launched three Dr. Bombay flavors—which we tried, of course. And adored. Naturally, we couldn’t wait to see what the Snoop Dogg ice cream brand would come out with next—and now that day has finally come. It ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none, am I right? 

Three new Snoop Dogg ice cream flavors are expected to come out this year, and we got our hands on the latest one: Strawberry Cream Dream. As Snoop’s famous quote goes, “Whatever it is you do, you have to master your craft.” So far, Snoop Dogg’s ice cream brand has lived up to his own high standards. But will his winning streak continue? Will Snoop Dogg’s ice cream empire keep churning out flavors as legendary as his rhymes? Let’s find out.

Dr. Bombay Strawberry Cream Dream

Talk about feeling young, wild, and free. This new Snoop Dogg ice cream flavor, a mix of vanilla ice cream, strawberry sherbet, strawberry jam, and crumbly bits of golden sandwich cookie, is nostalgia in a tub. Here’s the scoop:

Pros: I’m a sherbet girl, and I love how creamy (and bright pink?) the strawberry sherbet is in this ice cream. The jam is quite lovely—it’s a little chewy without being too chewy, and it really brings out the hint of “golden sandwich cookie” flavor. When you get the right bite, you do feel like you’re eating an ice cream sandwich straight from an ice cream truck. If that doesn’t capture the brand’s “free ya mind, find ya flavor” slogan, I don’t know what does. 

Cons: On its own, the vanilla ice cream is a little lackluster. And while I appreciate this Snoop Dogg ice cream’s unique components, we need more of them. More jam, more bits of cookie (which you really have to hunt for), and more vanilla bean flavor in the ice cream would really up the “wow” factor here. While I would devour scoops upon scoops of this new Snoop Dogg ice cream flavor, I don’t think they’ve nailed the recipe just yet. Which, hey, those are just my notes—they can take ‘em or leave ‘em. (In the meantime, I’ll be manifesting a Snoop Dogg appearance on Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals.)
