If I remember correctly, it was around this time last year when I first saw
Flavors of the World in the ice cream section of the local supermarket. It's a range of premium ice cream under the
Nestle Temptations line, with flavors featuring some of the best and most popular desserts around the world.
There are four different variants in the
Nestle Temptations Flavors of the World line, including the newest addition -
Dutch Speculoos. I had the chance to try this flavor, after receiving some samples from
Nestle Ice Cream Philippines.

They sent me two 800 mL tubs, plus an insulated messenger bag, and a post card.

| Thank you, Nestle Philippines! |
As the name implies, this variant features
speculoos - spiced, shortcrust biscuits that originated from the Netherlands.

| Tempting, indeed. |
This speculoos-flavored ice cream is blended with ribbons of cookie butter ripple and cookie chunks. It's like your favorite cookie butter spread and cinnamon-spiced cookies rolled in a bed of creamy vanilla.

It has a very creamy texture, with just the right amount of sweetness. Not over-the-top, not saccharine, and not cloying, either.

So if you're doing the groceries this weekend, you might want to give this ice cream a try. It sells for
Php 199 per tub, and is now available at leading supermarkets and convenience stores.
