Ben & Jerry’s Launches 4 New Sundaes Pints
we don’t have in the U.S.
Until recently, one of those was the Sundaes line of Ben & Jerry’s pints. Following the success of the line in Europe, Ben & Jerry has decided to bring the line stateside for the first time—with a brand-new flavor that’s only available in the U.S.
, with a distinctive whipped topping layer and even more chunks sprinkled on top. No need to outsource your toppings and whip—they’re built right in. The only thing not included is a spoon (and the cherry on top, if that’s your jam).
The line features four flavors:
- sundae, Cookie Vermont-ster features vanilla ice cream with chocolate chip cookies and chocolate-chocolate chip cookies, finished with vanilla whipped topping, fudge swirls, and fudge chips.
- Perhaps the most indulgent Sundae flavor, this pint features salted caramel ice cream with pecan toffee pieces and caramel swirls, finished with caramel whipped topping, caramel swirls and sea salt fudge chunks.
- Chocolate lovers will appreciate this pint, which has chocolate cheesecake ice cream, chocolate cookies, and chocolate-chocolate cookie swirls, finished with vanilla whipped topping, fudge swirls, and sea salt fudge chunks.
- This U.S.-exclusive Sundae starts with a buttery ice cream base full of fudge-covered almonds and pretzel swirls, complete with vanilla whipped topping, caramel swirls, and fudge-covered pretzel pieces.
“I like to think of each Sundae as a textural treasure hunt, starting with that thick and creamy ice cream that you already know and love, nestled below a layer of rich whipped topping and covered in the perfect balance of the most decadent swirls and chunks you have ever met,” said Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Guru Natalia Butler in a press release.
I got an early taste of two of the four new Sundaes pints. Here are my honest thoughts.
My Review of Ben & Jerry’s New Sundaes Pints
loaded up with toppings, these pints are decked out with even more chunks and swirls than the usual flavors.
), I was more than sold—and I bet you will be, too.
rather than whipped cream (which makes sense, given the latter is less stable frozen), which was not my favorite, but the swirls and chunks more than make up for it.
Overall, my only critique would be the logistics of putting a sundae into a pint. Because that layer of whip and toppings is concentrated to the top of the pint, you really have to dig in and approach these flavors vertically, which makes them less practical for scooping and sharing. If you were to scoop off the top, you’d just get the “toppings” and no ice cream for some time. To capture the full sundae experience in each bite you have to make a conscious effort to dig deep. But call me an archaeologist, because this is one dig I’d sign up for any day.
flavors were designed to share, I’d say these are designed to be personal pints. They might just become the best-kept secret in your freezer.
