New Review! Ben and Jerry's Cookies and Crea Cheesecake Core Ice Cream

New review alert!

This time it is Ben and Jerry's Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Core Ice Cream. The flavor consists of Chocolate and Cheesecake Ice Creams with Chocolate Cookies and a Cheesecake Core. 

Let me start off with the fact that I LOVE Ben and Jerry's chocolate flavor ice cream in like, everything. But I thought the cheesecake ice cream tasted more like vanilla ice cream. The core had a more intense cheesecake flavor, which would make sense since it is more dense in texture. 

The cookie chunks were about dime-size and were plentiful within the pint. The cookie chunks did not have a crispy "crunch" to them. But I liked all of the flavors put together. 

I am still not sure what to think about the core and it's texture. The core flavors do compliment the ice creams well but I am still getting used to it.

Overall, I would give this flavor a 8/10. I liked all of the flavors together. The only down-side is that I would have liked to taste more of a cheesecake flavor in the ice cream. 

I currently have 4 more pints in the freezer and I recently went to a scoop shop in Williamsburg, VA and tried a new flavor there. There will be more to come.

As always, thanks for reading and happy eating!

Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale - Ben and Jerry's Review

One of Ben and Jerry's newest flavors is Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale. Just in case you did not know, New Belgium Brewing Company and Ben and Jerry's together developed a beer late last year called Salted Caramel Brownie Brown Ale. I tried the beer in back in January and the beer was definitely something I never tasted before.

So, when I saw this flavor in ice cream form, I decided to try it.

Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale ice cream consists of New Belgium Brown Ale Ice Cream with Fudge Brownie and Salted Caramel Swirls (don't worry - there is no alcohol in it).

I could definitely taste the "hoppy-ness" of the of the beer in the pint. The saltiness is not too overpowering; there is just a hint of it. There were numerous big chunks of fudge brownie in my pint and the texture of them was perfect. The caramel swirls were more like caramel "globs",

Overall, all of the flavors together made for an interesting tasting ice cream.

I would rate this one a 8/10. I prefer ice cream that has a little less of a salty flavor component to it but in this pint the salt does compliment all of the flavors well.

I bought 2 more flavors: "A Swirled of Difference" and "Cake my Day". I also found that my local Kroger has "Empower Mint" so I may pick up a pint of this as well. My local stores do have a good selection of flavors but I have tried most of these flavors already. I will have to try to find other stores with a more widespread selection.

You do not see this from founders/co-founders of major companies, except Ben and Jerry's. I love their activism and participation in important political topics. 

Save Our Swirled - Ben and Jerry's Pint Review

After two years of not posting anything secondary to life (aka physical therapy school) getting in the way, I think it is time to review a new flavor. The new flavor is............Save Our Swirled.

 Save Our Swirled is "Raspberry Ice Cream with Marshmallow and Raspberry Swirls and Dark and White Fudge Ice Cream Cones.

Save Our Swirled was made to help spread awareness about Ben and Jerry's climate change campaign. It is said that all sales from this flavor support Ben and Jerry's partners in the global climate movement to decrease carbon emissions to increase cleaner air quality and improve our environment.

Now to the ice cream itself. The raspberry swirls reminds me of raspberry jam and there is a good amount of it within the pint. The marshmallow swirl consisted more of marshmallow globs. The raspberry ice cream does not have a strong ice cream flavor and it is not overwhelming. I did not see a lot of white fudge chocolate cones within my pint. The dark fudge chocolate was plentiful and made the flavor whole for me.

Overall, not too exciting of a flavor but it promotes a great cause. I rate it a 7.8/10.
Nevertheless, I love the fact that Ben and Jerry's is more than just an ice cream company and tries to make the world a better place.
