I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream!

Phish Food is a classic Ben and Jerry’s favor, a creamy marshmallow swirl, caramel drizzle, and little cartoon fudge fshies you can’t go wrong with. This ice cream has a small sweetness with the marshmallows, but is balanced well with the fudge fsh. Also, having small cartoon fsh in your ice cream will put a smile on your face. The fudge fsh and chocolate ice cream don’t confict. They add a variety of favors that blend well. The fudge fsh are my favorite part. In every bite I look forward to fnding a fsh on my spoon. This favor comes in dairy and vegan ice cream. Both options are delicious. For the vegan one, even though different milk is used, the favors and other ingredients are still vibrant in each bite. Personally Phish Food is my favorite, all the ingredients compliment each other very nicely and taste delicious.

Vegan ice cream is not for everyone, but if you are looking for a dairy alternative, Ben and Jerry’s Vegan Tonight Dough is an excellent choice. This favor has chocolate and caramel ice cream with chocolate chip cookie dough, peanut butter cookie dough, and chocolate crunchy cookie swirl. All of these ingredients hide the fact that this is vegan ice cream. Although it may not be as creamy, the favors of the ingredients stand out more. Each bite, you get a different favor of cookie dough. It’s like a surprise in your mouth each time! This ice cream is made with almond milk instead of dairy milk. This change in ingredients affects the texture of the ice cream rather than the taste. The texture is more grainy than fuffy but still melts in your mouth with every spoonful.

Cherry Garcia, another classic and refreshing favor from Ben and Jerry’s. This ice cream has cherry ice cream with cherries and fudge fakes. The added cherries add a nice tart favor to the sweetness of the cherry ice cream. The fudge fakes also balance the overload of cherry favor. I am not a big fan of cherries, but I can tolerate the favor of this ice cream. If it didn’t have the fudge fakes, I don’t think I would like it, but all of the ingredients together makes the ice cream very refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. I have only tried the regular version of this ice cream, not the vegan version, but the regular version is very creamy and fuffy. Compared to vegan ice cream favors I have tried, the dairy ice cream is the creamiest and has a sweeter favor. I am a chocolate lover so Cherry Garcia is not on the top of my list, but it is still good with it’s simple favors that have a sweet and tartness to them.
