As any true Ben & Jerry’s fan knows, the famed Vermont-born ice cream brand is always churning out new flavors and dessert creations (and sadly, sending some to the flavor graveyard). From innovative non-dairy offerings to the core line-up of ice cream flavors and fun collabs with notable celebrities, this powerhouse ice cream slayer has a boundless array of options for any craving.
Now, as Delish reports, we can get Ben & Jerry’s Sundaes straight from the carton!
After testing out the new product line in Europe, B&J’s decided to launch Sundaes here in the States. The brand wanted to recreate the decadence of a classic ice cream sundae in pint form, getting rid of the hassle of creating one yourself. Natalia Butler, a Flavor Guru at Ben & Jerry’s responsible for working on the new Sundaes product line, tells us, “It was hard to try to envision how we could put in all the components of a sundae and make it super convenient for our fans to enjoy.”
When brainstorming on the idea, the team turned towards those classic sundae swirls and chunks on top, “which are so indulgent and add so much texture,” explains Butler. “We felt it was a great characteristic of a sundae that we could use to bring this pint to life.”
The result? Four new Sundae flavors: Cookie Vermont-ster Sundae, Dulce-Delish Sundae, Choco-latta Cheesecake Sundae, and Turtle Sundae. As Ben & Jerry’s posted on their Instagram:
Presenting our most indulgent ice cream experience yet! A textural treasure hunt with a whipped top atop your new favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, topped with EXTRA chunks & swirls! Inspired by classic Sundaes with a Ben & Jerry’s twist. This at-home indulgence is ready whenever you and your spoon are.
Cookie Vermont-ster Sundae
This pint is described as “a classic vanilla ice cream with chocolate chip cookies and chocolate chocolate chip cookies, topped with vanilla whipped topping, fudge swirls and fudge chips.”
Turtle Sundae
This pint comprises a “buttery ice cream base chock-full of fudge-covered almonds and pretzel swirls, complete with vanilla whipped topping, caramel swirls and fudge-covered pretzel pieces.” Butler told us that the sweet and saltiness of this flavor was inspired by the popcorn salad trend on TikTok.
Choco-lotta Chesescake Sundae
This one is made with a “chocolate cheesecake ice cream, chocolate cookies and chocolate chocolate cookie swirls topped with a dreamy vanilla whipped topping, fudge swirls and sea salt fudge chunks.” The whipped topping really makes sense in this pint, giving a bit of lightness to contrast the bold chocolate ice cream. This is definitely a pint made for chocolate lovers — it’s the dominant flavor throughout, especially when you get a spoonful with the fudge chunks and swirls.
Dulce-Delish Sundae
Made with salted caramel ice cream swirled with with pecan toffee pieces and caramel swirls, this one is topped with caramel whipped topping with caramel swirls and “satisfying sea salt fudge chunks.” This whipped topping is what butterbeer dreams are made of. It’s light, caramel-y, and super delicious.
Bottom (of the carton) Line
In what should be a surprise to no one, there isn’t a bad flavor in the bunch. The whipped topping with added fudge chunks, drizzle, or shavings really added another dimension to your everyday pint of ice cream. What’s extra cool, is if you cut away the carton and serve it up in a bowl (because, who are we kidding – you’re going to eat the whole thing anyway), it actually looks like a sundae!
