Pros:<\/strong> It\u2019s yummy. It makes me feel good. There will be more room in my freezer.<\/p>\nCons:<\/strong> Consuming a lot of fat and sugar. I\u2019ll feel guilty about eating an entire pint later. I\u2019ll have a stomachache soon.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s been an influx of light ice cream brands that take away the guilt of eating an entire container, like Halo Top, Enlightened, and Breyers Delights. They’re advertised as having around 300 calories, not a lot of sugar, and a decent amount of protein PER PINT. Ben & Jerry\u2019s decided to jump into the not quite creamy river of light ice creams with its new Moo-phoria line.<\/p>\n
There are three flavors:<\/p>\n
\n- Chocolate Milk & Cookies – Chocolate and vanilla light ice cream with chocolate chip cookies.<\/li>\n
- Caramel Cookie Fix – Vanilla light ice cream with shortbread cookies and a salted caramel swirl.<\/li>\n
- P.B. Dough – Chocolate light ice cream with gobs of chocolate chip peanut butter cookie dough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While Moo-phoria is a light ice cream, it\u2019s done differently than its competition. It doesn\u2019t use ingredients other brands use, like sugar alcohols (which can cause stomach issues) and sugar substitutes (which can cause taste issues). But those do allow Halo Top and its ilk to take \u201clight\u201d to a whole different level. Per pint, they have fewer calories, fat, and sugar than Ben & Jerry\u2019s offering. Plus,\u00a0they shove in stuff to give them more protein and fiber.<\/p>\n
But Moo-phoria is more like regular ice cream than its competition. If you scan the ingredients, it reads like normal ice cream. There\u2019s milk, cream, egg yolks, love, sugar, and a bunch of normal Ben & Jerry’s ice cream looking ingredients. There’s no out of place vegetable glycerin or soluble corn fiber.<\/p>\n
However, in my mouth is where the differences become clear.<\/p>\n

<\/small><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The textures of the chocolate and vanilla ice cream bases are not as creamy as regular ice cream, so when they melt, they do so cleaner and quicker. As for their flavor, the chocolate one tastes like full-fat Ben & Jerry’s chocolate ice cream, but not with the same punch. The vanilla one is somewhat lacking in flavor. It tastes closer to something you\u2019d get from Breyers instead of Ben & Jerry’s. And, yes, that\u2019s an insult, Breyers. But not having strong flavors shouldn\u2019t be surprising since they\u2019re light ice creams.<\/p>\n

<\/small><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
But what I didn\u2019t expect was how mild in flavor some mix-ins were. The shortbread and chocolate chip cookies in their respective pints blend in with the ice cream and don\u2019t stand out. I imagine they also had to be lightened in order to bring down the calories and fat. With the mix-ins you\u2019d find in regular Ben & Jerry\u2019s pints, such as fudge chunks, brownies, and cake pieces, it\u2019s easy to determine what they are because their flavors pop. But with the cookies in their respective Moo-phoria pints, if you didn\u2019t read the labels, it would be hard to tell what they are because of their flavor and chewy textures that are more like cookie dough or swirls than cookies. <\/p>\n
Speaking of cookie dough, the chocolate chip peanut butter gobs in P.B. Dough didn\u2019t have the same issues. They have a strong peanut butter flavor and a texture that\u2019s similar to the cookie dough in other Ben & Jerry\u2019s pints.<\/p>\n
\n
![\"Ben](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Ben-Jerrys-PB-Dough-Moo-phoria-Light-Ice-Cream.jpg?resize=598%2C465&ssl=1\" "\\"Ben")
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nBen & Jerry’s P.B. Dough Moo-phoria Light Ice Cream<\/div>\n
<\/small><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
If I had to choose a favorite, I\u2019d pick P.B. Dough because the chocolate ice cream and cookie dough have more flavor. Also, my container had a lot of mix-ins. If my pint was a minefield and the cookie dough gobs were mines, I\u2019d be dead many times over. As for the other two, the use of light flavored vanilla ice cream and mix-ins don\u2019t excite my taste buds. Not even the salted caramel swirl could fix Caramel Cookie Fix.<\/p>\n
But here I am comparing it to regular Ben & Jerry\u2019s. I\u2019m sure some of you are wondering if it\u2019s better than light ice cream juggernaut Halo Top. I definitely think it is. But, to be honest, I don\u2019t have a strong positive opinion of Halo Top. The stevia messes with the flavor and the texture is odd. Every one I\u2019ve tried has been okay, but I also feel they\u2019re an unsatisfactory attempt at something that should be pleasurable. Don’t @ me.<\/p>\n
But with that said, the best way I can describe Moo-phoria is to say it\u2019s Ben & Jerry\u2019s ice cream but without a soul. I don’t feel a lot of joy or excitement when I shove a spoonful into my mouth, although there’s slightly more with P.B. Dough. These lack what most standard Ben & Jerry\u2019s varieties have, which is some kind of strong willpower casting aside ability that can ruin diets, New Year\u2019s resolutions, and calorie counter limits.<\/p>\n
With pints like those I have to force myself to stop or else I\u2019ll eat the entire container in one sitting. But with Moo-phoria I don\u2019t have to force myself to stop because I don\u2019t have the desire to eat the entire container in one sitting, even though I can.<\/p>\n
