Ben and Jerry’s new flavors couldn’t be more different from each other. The popular New England based ice cream brand has added three options to their creative family so far this year, and here I will rank them all.
Coincidentally, I tried each of these in one sitting. This was an unplanned taste test. With a house full of young kids, a visiting friend recently stopped by and knew the way to quickly win over the youngsters. Pints of ice cream.
Before I get into explaining which was best, I should note I am not an ice cream (or dessert) enthusiast by any means. Dare I say, I hardly seek out ice cream, even in the summer months. However, if it is put in front of me, I will eat it if it’s one of my favorite varieties.
If I’m going for ice cream, though, Ben and Jerry’s is easily my brand of choice. Being a New Englander, I have toured their Vermont location a handful of times. Their half-baked in a cone is my go-to choice.
If you are not familiar, these are the Ben and Jerry’s new flavors that have rolled out in 2024. Impretzively Fudged, PB S’More, and Marshmallow Sky. Now, it’s important to note that Marshmallow Sky is new just to pints. Meaning, it was available in their scoop shops only.
Another flavor entitled Strawberry Cheezecake was also unveiled earlier this year. This did not qualify here as a new flavor ranking because it had been an ice cream flavor (branded “cheesecake). The new “cheeze” version is a vegan dairy-free dessert.
Upon seeing these at my house, I realized they were new. So, instead of selecting one pint to scoop, I took one for the team and realized I needed one proper scoop of each.
My process was to try one at a time and not have all three in the same bowl. Blending flavors might compromise the intended taste.
As a result, there was a flavor where one bite was enough. Another where I couldn’t get enough, and the third was somewhere in between.
Here is my official ice cream ranking of Ben and Jerry’s new flavors.
