Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy Ice Cream

Now Chocolate Therapy once existed as a single serve container, and technically I've already tried Chocolate Therapy from a scoop shop, so let me jump right to my conclusion on the new pint sized variety: This is going to be the chocolate pint to beat in 2012. It's just that chocolaty. I think it's only fair to warn you that if you are a chocolate addict like myself, it's going to be really hard to put this pint down. For everyone that misses the limited edition Flourless Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Therapy is here to permanently take it's place.

Chocolate Therapy is Chocolate Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookies & Swirls of Chocolate Pudding Ice Cream. Think about that for a minute (or 7). Close your eyes and envision what that would taste like. I don't even need to crack open the pint to show you because your mind is already racing with chocolate on chocolate on chocolate goodness. I see chocolate houses with brownie bushes and pudding rain drops and NOM NOM NOM NOM. Man this stuff is evil... why did they ever cancel this flavor?

How awesome does that look? Reminds me of some kind of awesome fudgy multi-layer cake. I was just picking on how little air there is in Graeter's and then I pop open this pint which seems to have less air overrun than B&J's typical flavors. Maybe it's the pudding that lacks air overrun, but unlike the Graeter's, I get more of a milk undertone than a water undertone.

I think we need to get a bit closer to really show the complexity of this flavor. It's usually so easy to tell the base from the swirl from the inclusions, but on this one, not so much. I think we are looking at Chocolate cookies (wonderfully soft chocolate cookies that look like ice cream). You can't scoop this one expecting solid chunks of cookie, no no, our three components have become a triforce of awesomeness and you will never split them apart.

If you think about it, I guess the intertwining adds a bit of fun mystery to every bite because no matter how hard to try, you'll never know what combo you'll get... ahh, it's doesn't matter. Every scoop is chocolatly heaven and that's all you need to know. It's good, just like you expect, just like you want, why are you still reading this? go get some.

Still here? I will point out that it finishes with the hint of a dry note. Often a flavor will leave me wanting something salty (pretzels in particular), but in this case I think I'm more thirsty than anything. Not a bad thing and probably the only mildest of complaints I could make about this excellent flavor. It's not even one of their fattiest flavors (BONUS!). This is the kind of pint you hide in the back of the freezer because you won't want to share it and you'll want it to be waiting for you when you get home. It's just that good.

Verdict?  Chocolate Awesomeness
Buy Again?  You know it
