\"Ben<\/p>\n

After finally bringing the popular European pre-packed Sundae line to eager ice cream fans in the States last year, Ben & Jerry\u2019s is back in the creation kitchen with three new classic dessert-inspired flavors to kick off 2026. With the initial release, I found these 14.4-ounce containers of ice cream and mix-ins, topped with a light whipped topping and a textural flourish, to be quite successful, and this year\u2019s lineup has a lot of promise, too.<\/p>\n

PB Blondie Bestie<\/h3>\n

\"PB<\/p>\n

Peanut butter ice cream with blonde brownies and graham cracker swirls, topped with caramel-swirled whipped topping and mini peanut butter cups.<\/em><\/p>\n

If this description reads like pure decadence, you\u2019re right, and it is absolutely delicious. As much as I love peanut butter, the Ben & Jerry\u2019s peanut butter base has never been one of my personal favorites, but it\u2019s especially successful here when paired with the caramel-swirled whipped topping. The extra sweetness from the caramel and the whipped topping\u2019s lightness bring out qualities to the PB base that really work in its favor.<\/p>\n

\"Spoonful<\/p>\n

When you combine the base with the triple threat of Ben & Jerry\u2019s three best mix-ins, you\u2019re in for a real treat. The blonde brownies are dense, chewy, and buttery with a golden flavor that works perfectly with the peanut butter, while the graham brings some crunch and extra salty-sweet to the spoon. Top that off with ample crunchy mini peanut butter cups, and this sundae is nearly impossible to stop eating. It\u2019s among the best in the line and one to seek out for peanut butter lovers immediately.<\/p>\n

Straw-Bae Shortcake<\/h3>\n

\"Straw-Bae<\/p>\n

Sweet cream ice cream with shortbread cookies and strawberry swirls, topped with strawberry-swirled whipped topping and shortcake crumble.<\/em><\/p>\n

For those who have eaten a lot of Ben & Jerry\u2019s (guilty), this is a pretty familiar flavor profile, and I think it is the most successful iteration of it in pint form yet. The sweet cream ice cream provides a smooth backdrop to the sweet and acidic strawberry swirled throughout. Those two components are very classic, like a sleeve of sundaes bought for a little league team to be eaten with wooden spoons.<\/p>\n

\"Straw-Bae<\/p>\n

But what really makes this flavor work better than before is the saltiness from the shortbread cookies and crumble. The buttery cookies, with a touch of salt, add more contrast and a much-needed depth to this simple, throwback profile. While it\u2019s not quite as revelatory as the Strawberry Cheesecake Bar from January, which also utilizes salt to enhance the sweetness, it\u2019s a great spin on a mellow fruit-forward bite that will satisfy those who want something a little less rich.<\/p>\n

Mocha Mood Pie<\/h3>\n

\"Mocha<\/p>\n

Chocolate cold brew ice cream with chocolate cookies and chocolate cookie swirls, topped with fudge-swirled whipped topping and fudge chips.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is another flavor profile that\u2019s pretty familiar to well-versed Ben & Jerry\u2019s fans, but this one has a twist: a brand new base. The chocolate cold brew ice cream is chocolate-forward, with a smooth, bittersweet coffee finish that isn\u2019t as punchy as the original cold brew bases of the past but is very complementary to the rich cocoa. At first, I thought I didn\u2019t get much coffee, but the flavor builds as you keep eating, leaving a nice coffee-kissed aftertaste in the sea of chocolate.<\/p>\n

\"Mocha<\/p>\n

The mix-ins are classic B&J with the tandem of cookies and swirls bringing more rich, dense chocolate to the flavor party. Where this sundae really shines is the contrast the whipped topping offers \u2014 bringing lightness and sweetness to the heavy darkness beneath it, really elevating the concept of the sundae full tilt. The whipped topping has enough unique presence compared to the base that it\u2019s almost like having a scoop of vanilla on top of the chocolate and coffee, making this another must-scoop for fans of the sundae lineup.<\/p>\n
