Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice Cream Tub 465ml
£5.95

Vanilla ice cream with chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough (16%) and chocolatey chunks (1.5%). Big delicious chunks of chocolate-chip cookie dough surrounded by creamy vanilla ice cream. It seems like such a no-brainer today, but in 1984 it was revolutionary. The Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough ice cream tub you know and love started with a simple suggestion: What if you put chunks of chocolate-chip cookie dough into vanilla ice cream? That was the fantastic anonymous idea submitted way back in the early days of our first Burlington, Vermont, USA, Scoop Shop. We used to have a bulletin board where people could suggest new flavours for Jerry & Ben to make — and this idea stood out. The folks at the Scoop Shop immediately went to work mixing up a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough. It was an instant hit. Initially, the flavour was only available at the Scoop Shop. When we decided to sell it in tubs as a frozen dessert, we had to figure out how to get that familiar cookie-dough taste, consistency and texture at ice cream temperatures. In 1991, Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream tubs began appearing in freezer aisles everywhere. It has remained one of our most popular and beloved flavours ever since! If you can’t get enough of our ice cream, why not try our other flavours? We’ve got Phish Food ice cream with gooey marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls & chocolatey fish or Chocolate Fudge Brownie with with gooey chunks of brownie goodness mixed into dark and rich chocolate ice cream. There are many more flavours of our ice cream tubs so give them all a try!

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream Tub 100ml
£5.95

Chocolate ice cream with chocolate brownie pieces (17%). Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream tub is a fudge-tastic phenomenon brimming with gooey chunks of brownie goodness mixed into rich chocolate ice cream. Sounds like a dream. At first, that’s all it was. Long ago, we were making brownie ice cream sandwiches for sale in grocery stores. Sometimes there would be broken pieces in the brownie delivery, and we’d nab them for flavour experiments. What would brownie pieces taste like in chocolate ice cream? Pretty good, it turns out! That original experimental flavour eventually became the legendary ice cream concoction known as Chocolate Fudge Brownie. After about 25 batches of brownies and six months of work, the flavour finally debuted in 1991, and it’s been a hit frozen dessert ever since. If you can’t get enough of our delicious Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream, why not try our other flavours? We’ve got Phish Food ice cream with gooey marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls & chocolatey fish or Cookie Dough with vanilla ice cream and chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough. There are many more flavours of our ice cream tubs so give them all a try! This fudge-tastic phenomenon has been a part of our flavour family since 1991. Happy days!
