Ben & Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie Ice Cream
cheesecake ice cream with cheesecake brownie chunks
After all these years, I still expect to see a swirl when I open this pint.
(Oh man, what if they put their excellent chocolate cookie swirl in here?!)
Original 2008 Review from when it was ONE Cheesecake Brownie: You know how a cheesecake can sometimes attract non-cheesecake lovers? we once had a peanut butter cup cheesecake that was out of this world. Well, this new flavor from Ben & Jerry's isn't breaking any boundaries and I only recommend it for cheesecake lovers. It's kinda weird but the cheesecake flavor doesn't hit you on every bite, just now and then. However, take a break, and the only taste you are left with is cheesecake. I guess the problem is that upon seeing the container, you expect to open it up and find cheesecake ice cream swirled with chocolate and brownie bites. Instead, there is no swirl and you just get an occasional chocolate covered cheesecake bite. At the very least, I expected a much stronger brownie taste, but it's almost non-existent. I'm really disappointed, I guess I set my expectations way too high on this one.On the positive side, this flavor is trying to help bring attention to the ONE movement which is trying to end poverty.
Hey man, maybe you can help me out. Very recentlly I bought a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie Ice Cream and it was just cheesecake flavored ice cream with super-moist brownie chunks in it. One week later, I bought another pint, but this time it was called "One Cheesecake Brownie" and it is totally different! The latter has the tangy, yogurty cheesecake flavored ice cream and the chunks are now cheesecake brownies and they are much dryer, lighter brown, etc.. Anyway, there is absoluitely no mention of the first flavor anywhere online, not one word. Any idea what's going on there?
ReplyDeleteYeah, like you, I was as equally disappointed with this, too, because I set my expectations too high. This is Ben and Jerry's though, so it's not that this is a BAD flavor; it's just not one of my favorites from them. It's a nice flavor for vanilla lovers who want something a little different than vanilla ice cream and it's a good way to try Ben and Jerry's amazing brownies in a non-chocolate flavor, although I prefer the brownies in half-baked because these cheesecake brownies take on a dark chocolate flavor as opposed to the fudge brownies in the half-baked flavor which are milk chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Ben and Jerry's come out with a peanut butter cheesecake flavor but I doubt we'll see that anytime soon since they have already created five different types of cheesecake flavors.
More like cheesecake cookie, not brownie.
ReplyDeleteCheesecake Brownie from Ben and Jerry's would've been my grand prize or golden ticket even though I've never had a chance to try it yet but I'm sad it's already discontinued at least I've heard that it's a very yummy flavor oh Ben and Jerry's please bring back Cheesecake Brownie
ReplyDeleteI can't find it ANYWHERE anymore
ReplyDeleteIt's discontinued
ReplyDeleteSadly they don't even recognize it in their flavor graveyard
ReplyDeleteHmmm, that's weird!
