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!

Raspberry Fudge Chunk Greek FroYo!

My second Ben and Jerry's Greek FroYo flavor is Raspberry Fudge Chunk.




Ben and Jerry's Raspberry Fudge Chunk consists of Raspberry Greek Frozen Yogurt with Fudge Chunks.


It seems that the Ben and Jerry's Greek yogurt flavors are not as crazy as the Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Ben and Jerry's Raspberry Fudge Chunk is very simple and the review for this flavor is short and sweet.

One thing I noticed right away was that the raspberry Greek yogurt wasn't as sour as the Ben and Jerry's blueberry Greek yogurt that I had last time (Blueberry Vanilla Graham). For some reason, the raspberry mellows out the sourness.

And the fudge chunks are HUGE! There are a lot of them in the pint. The chunks make the Greek FroYo more sweet which (I think) takes away the sour taste that the Greek yogurt naturally has.


The raspberry Greek yogurt and the fudge chunks together make a simple but very good FroYo flavor. Who doesn't love fudge and raspberries?!

I do not know what my next flavor is going to be. I am going home for spring break and I may or may not be able to get a new pint. If I get a new pint, I will have a review next week. If not, I will post a new review in about 2 weeks when I get back to school (which would be a review of Dublin Mudslide).

Schweddy Balls!!!

No one can resist Ben and Jerry's Schweddy Balls.
Here it is! One of Ben and Jerry's new flavors Schweddy Balls!


Schweddy balls is Vanilla Ice Cream with a Hint of Rum and Loaded with Fudge Covered Rum and Malt Balls. The pint container was pretty cool. They have the cow saying "Season's Eatings" in the top left corner of the picture (for those of you who don't know, that saying is from the SNL skit). It has the plaid as the background for the name (from Alec Baldwin's shirt). And the cow with the Saturday Night Live shirt on.

 Just a little note about the flavor

I really liked the flavor. Some of my friends tried it and they said it was just OK but I really liked it. The vanilla doesn't look like there is rum in it (from the picture) but you can definitely taste it. I think it somehow inhances the vanilla flavor and makes the flavor stronger and more intense.

There are a lot of schweddy balls in the pint. They are scattered throughout the pint. You probably won't get one in every spoonful but there are plenty in the pint itself. Let me just say that they were bigger than I expected. Some of them were soft and some of them were hard and all of them were a little misshapen (lol). I think that the malt flavor overtakes the rum flavor in the balls though (which is not really a bad thing since the vanilla has the rum flavor in it).

I really like this flavor. I hope that Ben and Jerry's keeps it and don't put it into the graveyard. I wouldn't even mind if they allowed the flavor to come back every year for the holidays. It could be like a tradition, which I think would be very cool.

Happy Season's Eatings everyone!!!
