NEW Halo Top retail store opening soon!

They need to come to Houston. Halo Top has become a staple for me (especially since I have now tried their salted caramel and in love). Ideally, I need them to open near the cold stone so fiance can get his ice cream and I can get my Halo Top.

OMG! I am there!

I'll meet you there!

@leanitup123 tell Halotop to send more flavours over to Aus. We only have the plain boring ones.

We can't get it at all in Canada, and we live right next door!

That is so stupid! It's because of the French/English thing, right?

I bought mint chip and it was the most disgusting ice cream I've ever had.

I'm going to try one more time with another flavor but as of now..... Wtf is wrong with you people?

@erica_today what didn't you like about that flavor? You should try the PB cup or Salted Caramel (or chocolate/vanilla) next.

Honestly the mint tasted so strong and there was almost no chocolate chips and idk it just seemed weird but definitely the mint was off

I have to say that I love halo top, but this is the second time I've opened a pint and the carton wasn't full as it should be. Seriously.....the pint I opened last night was only 3/4 full, and at $4.50...I'm feel starting to feel ripped off.
I hope the other brands coming out are just as good because I'm going to stop buying halo top if this continues.

You really do sound like you're connected with the company somehow based these threads, soooo....if that is indeed the case I'm throwing this out there.

The new post office next to Ruth's chris?! I was just there last night!

LOL probably. I haven't actually had to go yet but good to know where to look now.

I'm sad they closed the one on Clarendon. It was in perfect walking distance.

Just curious - what will the standalone store offer that isn't already provided in Wal-Mart, Publix, Kroger, etc?

Here is how to make the "base" halo top at home (without the added chemical ingredients). I fiddled around with the protein powder and changed it to plain (no added sugar) and it came out to about 240 calories. ( I guess that you could add fruit, nuts, and other stuff.)

This recipe uses the ziplock method of making ice cream. Ingredients in the inner bag. Ice and salt in the outer one.

This makes one serving...

1/2 cup 2% milk / 0.50 cup Milk - Reduced fat, 2% milkfat - / calories 61 / Total Fat 2 / Total Carbs 6 / Protein 4

1 egg / 1 large Egg / Egg - / calories 72 / Total Fat 5 / Total Carbs 0 / Protein 6

1 teaspoon gelatin / 1 tsp(s) Gelatin / Gelatin - calories 8 / Total Fat 0 / Total Carbs 1 / Protein 0

1/4 cup water / 0.25 cup Water / Water - Water - calories 0 / Total Fat 0 / Total Carbs 0 / Protein 0

1 scoop protein powder / 0.25 cup / Whey Protein Powder- Plain Generic - calories 105 / Total Fat 2 / Total Carbs 2 / Protein 23

___________________________________________________

1. Assemble the ingredients.
   
2. Add milk and water to saucepan, and warm on low heat.
   
3. Beat the egg and combine with the milk, stirring until fully combined.
   
4. Add gelatin to the saucepan. Once fully combined, remove saucepan from heat. Add protein powder when mixture is fully cooled.
   
5. Let milk mixture cool and pour into a plastic bag. Fill other ziplock bag with ice and salt.

Does spoonuniversity understand that a whole pint of halo top can be 240ish calories and not just one serving? Or that they need hooked on phoenics if they have trouble pronouncing any of the ingredients in halo top? (Total pet peeve of mine. Obvious illiteracy doesn't make an ingredient bad for you.)

Halo Top uses erythritol for its sweetener, and it's actually a great low-carb sweetener that I use a lot for baking. I've made a simple vanilla ice cream with tempered egg yolk, cream and erythritol and it's absolutely delicious. So if you like a classic, creamy custard-based ice cream, it's very easy to make it that way too!
