Today was such a lovely day that originally I had gathered a bunch of coworkers to go get the Yelp…read moresoup at Simply Soup, but it was just too warm for hot soup today... so we opted to enjoy lunch outdoors by the lake instead. :)
After munching on a chicken breast sandwich at Hafen Enge Beiz, we strolled through the Rentenwiese park to enjoy the grass, sunshine, flowers... and most importantly--head over to the ice cream stand. ;)
There I spied... a new Magnum Marc De Champagne ice cream bar!! I LOVE ICE CREAM. I LOVE MAGNUM. I LOVE TRYING NEW THINGS. This was everything that I love.
The lady at the stand was really nice and spoke English to me, handing me a lovely silver-wrapped Magnum to celebrate "25 years of pleasure" for CHF 3.50. Oo la la!
7% Marc de Champagne sauce + 24% milk chocolate coating + 5% outer silver coating + 0.5% alcohol = 100% deliciousness!!
I really liked the crunch when I bit into the bar and tasting the creamy goodness inside. I usually don't like tasting alcohol in my sweets, but the champagne taste is quite light--almost like eating a champagne truffle--but even less so. Just enough to get a hint of champagne and all the yummy goodness of a rich Magnum ice cream.
The perfect way to end lunch while enjoying the view of the beautiful snow-capped Swiss Alps across the clear blue Zurich lake. Ah...
