We’re listing Ben & Jerry’s best ice cream flavors

If you’re a Ben & Jerry’s fan, you might agree with this list of their top 5 flavors of all time! But if you notice we missed one, be sure to let us know!

Ben & Jerry’s is probably one of the most well-known and loved brands of ice cream out there. Their flavors are unique to their own brands! Whether it’s their wacky flavor names or what’s actually in the ice cream, I think it’s pretty safe to say that Ben & Jerry’s is changing the ice cream game.

Some of the names of their crazy flavors include Phish Food, Chip Happens, and Americone Dream. However, that’s not where the list of craziness ends. As you’ll see in the coming slides, we will be diving into five of their best and most deliciously crazy flavors that everyone should get their hands on ASAP.

Quick note: If you’re more of a non-dairy person, Ben & Jerry’s has got you covered too! Come on now, let’s dive into some ice cream!

Ben & Jerry’s is killing the ice cream game with these amazing, unique flavors

5. Ben & Jerry’s: Cannoli

While Cannoli is not a new flavor, it’s new to me, as of a few months ago. This flavor is mascarpone-flavored ice cream with some chocolate fudge-covered pastry shell pieces, all swirled together with some more sweet mascarpone cream.

Although this flavor is labeled as Cannoli, I really don’t think that it tastes like one, although it’s still very good. The best part about it is the chocolate fudge-covered pieces of cannoli shell!

Overall, I’d give Ben & Jerry’s Cannoli a solid 6.7 out of 10.

Again, it’s not a bad flavor; I just wish that it tasted like an actual cannoli. Maybe they should’ve just straight up blended a cannoli right into the ice cream, chocolate chips, pistachios, and everything.

4. Ben & Jerry’s: The Tonight Dough

This flavor is inspired by Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show and combines both caramel and chocolate ice creams. What’s mixed inside of this particular flavor is exactly what edges it just above cannoli and not behind it…

Mixed into this already delicious flavor is chocolate cookie pieces, “gobs” of both chocolate chip cookie dough and peanut butter cookie dough. In all honesty, this is every cookie dough lovers’ dream, and I couldn’t be happier each time I have this (which hasn’t been in a long while).

Overall, I’d give Ben & Jerry’s The Tonight Dough a solid 7.1 out of 10.

If you love cookie dough and that subtle peanut butter taste that’s just totally out of this world, then pick yourself up a pint next time you’re out shopping!

3. Ben & Jerry’s: Cherry Garcia

This is probably one of the most well-known flavors that people know Ben & Jerry’s for. I also think that it’s one of their most underrated flavors (unless you’re in my family where anything involving chocolate and cherries is the most delicious thing ever).

This flavor combines only a few things, and those few simple things are why this flavor is in my personal top three of all time. First off, we start with a cherry ice cream based, followed by and all swirled together with cherries and chocolate chunks. If you’ve ever had a Cherry Cordial, this ice cream is exactly what that tastes like, almost to a tee.

Overall, I’d give Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia a solid 8.3 out of 10.

Again, if you’re a massive fan of chocolate-covered cherries, then look no further because you’ve met your ice cream match 100%!

2. Ben & Jerry’s: Milk and Cookies

Again, this is yet another flavor that I feel many people either don’t know about or that it’s super underrated as well. This would probably be Santa’s favorite ice cream flavor as well if you’re catching my drift there.

Anyways, this delicious flavor starts out with B & J’s classic vanilla ice cream (great start). Then, we’ve got a nice chocolate cookie swirl, followed by chocolate chips and chocolate chip cookies all mixed in with it as well! Now call me crazy, but unless you’re weird and don’t like milk and cookies together as one of the best combos ever, then this flavor will be top tier for you as well!

Overall, I’d give Ben & Jerry’s Milk and Cookies a solid 8.7 out of 10.

Try this out if you want your milk and cookies all in one dish, one dessert for convenience too!

1. Ben & Jerry’s: Chubby Hubby

The number one flavor that takes the top cake prize here is definitely Chubby Hubby! Trying to figure out what my most favorite B & J’s flavor was probably one of the hardest things because, in all seriousness, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad flavor or one that I really didn’t care for.

Chubby Hubby begins with a nice and cool vanilla malt ice cream! Then, comes the best part, the mix-ins: Peanutty Fudge-covered Pretzels with Fudge and Peanut Butter Swirls!

Overall, I’d give Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby a solid 9.4 out of 10.

Overall, Ben & Jerry’s is probably one of the best brands of ice cream out there. They have wacky flavors and names, but they also perfectly cater to those who prefer more plain flavors, and also to those who have some dietary needs and restrictions, such as those who must go dairy-free but still would like to enjoy some of B & J’s finest.
