\"\"<\/p>\n

After being a pivotal part of the Ben & Jerry\u2019s European scene for years, the pre-packed Sundae has finally arrived in the States. Like 2021\u2019s Topped lineup, these new flavors bring a plussed-up-pint experience to your home freezer. Ben & Jerry\u2019s Sundaes combine all the usual chunks and swirls of B&J\u2019s classics adorned with a new whipping topping and extra chunks. Interestingly, the first significant drop from the company this year saw the ice cream containers getting larger with Scoop-apalooza, and these new Sundaes are the first time I can recall seeing a 14.4-ounce package as opposed to the standard 16-ounce pint.<\/p>\n

The newly added whipped topping has a texture very similar to Cool Whip. It doesn\u2019t deflate like a proper whipped cream, but it also tempers quicker and is softer than your average ice cream base. However, it is devoid of an off-putting artificial taste. It\u2019s firm enough to hold up some light chunks and swirls, but it\u2019s a notable contrast to Ben & Jerry\u2019s dense, full-fat ice cream. Now, onto the individual flavors:<\/p>\n

Cookie Vermont-ster<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vanilla ice cream with chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cookie swirls topped with a fudge-swirled whipped topping and fudge chips.<\/em><\/p>\n

This packaged ode to the epic Ben & Jerry\u2019s scoop shop sundae experience is essentially a slight deviation from the classic Milk & Cookies pint, and it delivers just as much satisfaction as that lineup staple. Here we have fudge chips instead of chocolate chocolate chip cookies and a fluffy whipped topping that elevates the creaminess of the already smooth and delightful vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The biggest addition by subtraction to this flavor profile is the lack of double chocolate cookies, allowing the chocolate chip cookies to take center stage as the lone non-swirl mix-in. This brings a defined brown sugar flavor and excellent chewy cookie texture to nearly every bite. The fudge chips\u2019 crunch is a welcome addition, but chocolate is definitely a complimentary taste amongst all the sweet vanilla and buttery cookie bliss.<\/p>\n

Dulce De-lish!<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Salted caramel ice cream with pecan toffee pieces and caramel swirls topped with caramel-swirled whipped topping and sea salt fudge chunks.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is, as the name implies, absolutely delicious. The salted caramel ice cream is smooth and buttery, perfectly accented by the caramel swirls, which bring a solid, sticky sweetness to the rich, dense base. The whipped topping works seamlessly with the ice cream, accentuating the creaminess without particularly standing out, and the pecan toffee pieces bring a pleasant little crunch against all of the smoothness in the pint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The only way this could be better is if the sea salt fudge chunks were also filled with caramel, but there\u2019s so much caramel up and down this flavor that it\u2019s much less of a need and more of a (selfish, caramel-loving) want.<\/p>\n

Turtle Sundae<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Buttery ice cream with fudge-covered almonds and pretzel swirls topped with a caramel-swirled whipped topping and fudge-covered pretzel pieces.<\/em><\/p>\n

The buttery ice cream base is a lot like a sweet cream in that it provides a relatively blank flavor canvas but leans into the rich, buttery notes over the creamier, dairy-laden ones. It is exceptionally smooth and decadent and plays well with the fluffy caramel-laced whipped topping for a balanced, satisfying experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t get quite as much pretzel swirl as I would like, but the ample amount of fudge-covered almonds and pretzel pieces bring more than enough crunchy saltiness to deliver on the turtle concept. I usually associate turtles with pecans, and while there are none here, I get some nutty, earthy pecan nuance from the pretzel pieces that tie the whole flavor together well. Fun fact: this is the only one of the initial four launch Sundae flavors to be new and exclusive to the US, which is a fitting homage to the turtle\u2019s Midwest Chicago roots.<\/p>\n

Choco-lotta Cheesecake<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chocolate cheesecake ice cream with chocolate cookies and chocolate cookie swirls topped with fudge-swirled whipped topping and sea salt fudge chunks.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure I would ever guess \u201ccheesecake\u201d while digging into this sundae, but despite that, I think this is DIVINE. The chocolate cheesecake base doesn\u2019t have a notable tang or anything I would immediately associate with Philly\u2019s finest. But it has a very rich and decadent chocolate flavor that is more refined than the normal chocolate from Ben & Jerry\u2019s. There\u2019s a hint of cheesecake flavor there, but it is predominantly an incredibly deep and luscious chocolate flavor that only gets deeper with the double whammy of chocolate cookies and cookie swirls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The cookies mixed in throughout the base make the flavor eat like a rich brownie batter with little pockets of gritty saltiness akin to a chocolate pie crust, and it is wonderful. Once again, the whipped topping is a great addition to the profile and the sea salt fudge chunks stand out more notably than in any other flavor, adding a nice pop of saltiness when they find their way onto my spoon. While some cheesecake pieces may have driven the concept all the way home, this is an undeniable creation that simply works and will deliver satisfaction for bonafide choco-lovers like myself.<\/p>\n
