I love ice cream, all types really, I’m not very picky. And you know what I love even more? Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s, which is TODAY!!!! I first fell in love with B&J when I tried their Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, a gazillion years ago. I became addicted, and luckily I was in my 20’s and was able to eat all the ice cream I wanted and still not gain weight. (I wish that were still the case.. 😦 ). Fast forward a few years (or decades) and by now I have sampled many of their amazing flavors, and while it was definitely hard to choose among them, here are my top 5:
1. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. B&J knew they were onto something big when they made the world’s first batch of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream in 1984. Today the flavor still reigns among their all-time most popular concoctions. And how can it not be? It’s not even one of their more complex or fancier flavors. It’s quite simple. Vanilla ice cream with gobs (and yes, there are actual gobs!) of chocolate chip cookie dough. My daughter LOVES this flavor too!

2. Milk & Cookies. We also love this flavor. It’s probably one of the best sellers for any cookie lover. Vanilla ice cream with a chocolate cookie swirl, chocolate chip & chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Did you get that? Yup, it’s chock full of cookies, and it’s heavenly!

3. Half Baked. This is another one of our favorites. Chocolate & vanilla ice creams with fudge brownies & gobs (yes again with the gobs) of chocolate chip cookie dough. A little bit of everything, it’s just delicious!

4. Strawberry Cheesecake. This is one of my all time favorite flavors, however, my daughter doesn’t care much for it (she doesn’t like cheesecake…gasp!). Strawberry cheesecake ice cream with strawberries and a thick graham cracker swirl. Any cheesecake lover (like myself) will be thrilled with this flavor, and the graham cracker swirl, is just awesome.

5. Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core. Ah…the cores! These are some amazingly delicious flavors that B&J came out with some years ago, which each have a yummy, chocolately, caramel or cookie core in the center of the pint. Dark caramel & vanilla ice creams with speculoos cookies and a speculoos cookie butter core. Just absolutely amazing!

So, do you love Ben & Jerry’s as much as we do? If so, which are your favorite flavors? I’d love to hear!

I love my Cherry Garcia. We don’t have a Ben & Jerry’s store near me, but it might be worth a mini road trip to get a free cone 🙂

Ben and Jerry’s is amazing! I always get the same flavour (chocolate chip cookie dough) because it is without a doubt the best flavour ever! Everytime I go to the shop I say I’ll try a different flavour but everytime I end up getting my favourite. I want to give the cores a go.
