But Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s latest was inspired by one of the company\u2019s all-time successes: cherries. While this pint has some major differences from Cherry Garcia, B&#038;J\u2019s second highest selling pint for eight years running, it will no doubt garner interest from folks who enjoy the Grateful Dead-inspired classic. Cherry Crumble switches up the formula from the brand\u2019s more recent decadent offerings and pairs buttery ice cream with cherries and swirls of oat crumble.<\/p>\n<p>I was intrigued by this pint because the container wasn\u2019t screaming at me with mix-ins and because the base was something I don\u2019t recall ever seeing. Described simply as \u201cbuttery,\u201d a word often used to denote that something will be delicious, I needed to know how it tastes. Good news: it\u2019s freakin\u2019 awesome. Bad news: it\u2019s kind of hard to describe. Middle news: I\u2019m going to try!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lbbjchercrum2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Batch Ben  Jerry s Cherry Crumble Ice Cream Top\" title=\"lbbjchercrum2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The base is rich and decadent in a way I don\u2019t recall ever experiencing from B&#038;J\u2019s sweet cream, which is probably its closest equivalent, but far superior. It has a heavy and luscious mouthfeel with buttery notes, but not nutty like browned butter, more of a clean and deep flavorful sensation, like unsalted butter and sugar on white bread. Like I said, it\u2019s hard to describe, but it\u2019s wonderful and has a density that screams super premium. It\u2019s a really great, nuanced ice cream.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lbbjchercrum3.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Batch Ben  Jerry s Cherry Crumble Ice Cream Cherries\" title=\"lbbjchercrum3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cherries are also well executed. There are plenty, and they pop with a lovely bright sweetness and touch of acidity. More importantly, they do so with zero iciness. They provide the perfect balance of sugary and tartness against the rich buttery base. A jam or pie filling swirl might be more faithful to the concept of a crumble, but I enjoy the squishy flavorful chunks of fruit. I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s because I\u2019m getting older, but I\u2019ve been having a serious cherry renaissance in the last two years, and I love this simple old-timey mix-in.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lbbjchercrum4.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Batch Ben  Jerry s Cherry Crumble Ice Cream Swirl\" title=\"lbbjchercrum4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The oat crumble is where this pint could use some improvement. I still really enjoy it, but it reminds me much more of a cinnamon-y graham cracker swirl than a chunky oat crumble. When I read \u201ccrumble,\u201d I instantly think of a crunchy, buttery, and salty topping that erupts with flavor, and while this swirl is good, it doesn\u2019t deliver on the punchiness or texture I\u2019m looking for. It has some pleasant grittiness with a touch of spice but no butteriness that can compete with the fantastic base.<\/p>\n<p>While this pint falls a bit short in flawlessly executing a cherry crumble a la mode, it\u2019s a very scoopable flavor that should be in anyone\u2019s cart who enjoys a fruit-driven profile with a rich, buttery foundation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> One Pint<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Safeway<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (2\/3 cup\/140 grams) 350 calories, 21 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 125 milligrams of sodium, 37 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 35 grams of sugar, 5 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, most new flavors from Vermont&#8217;s most famous company have been Topped, Core\u2019d, or brought back from the dead.
