Spoonable Cookies in Ice Cream! Ben & Jerry’s Launches its Newest Line: Cookie Cores
Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Speculoos are the Irresistibly Spoonable Cookie Centers of New Core Flavors
BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Only days into 2015 and it’s clear that the team of Flavor Gurus at Ben & Jerry’s have been hard at work. The ice cream maker unveiled its latest addition to the legendary line up of flavors - a collection of three decadent Cookie Cores that will leave fans of ice cream, cookies and cookie butters clamoring for more.
“These flavors are over the top, classic Ben & Jerry’s decadence with incredible flavor combinations and textures. They deliver the promise on a truly remarkable ice cream eating experience. These are cookies you’ll want to spoon!”
The Cookie Core line utilizes the same design as Ben & Jerry’s popular 2014 Core flavors but instead of jam, fudge or caramel running directly through the middle of the pint, the Flavor Gurus have added cookie butters. The crunchy, swirly inclusion of spoonable cookies right down the center of each pint is a taste that must be eaten to be experienced. The Cookie Cores tie in favorites such as chocolate cookies, peanut butter cookies, and speculoos cookies (a cinnamon spice cookie) at their respective centers, and let fans customize the way they eat each and every pint.
The combinations include:
Boom Chocolatta! Cookie Core: Mocha & Caramel Ice Creams with Chocolate Cookies, Fudge Flakes & a Chocolate Cookie Core.
Peanut Buttah Cookie Core: Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Crunchy Peanut Butter Sugar Bits, Peanut Butter Cookies & a Peanut Butter Cookie Core
Spectacular Speculoos Cookie Core: Dark Caramel & Vanilla Ice Cream with Speculoos Cookies & Speculoos Cookie Butter Core
“I think our Flavor Gurus nailed it,” said CEO Jostein Solheim. “Along with the work to utilize Fairtrade and non-GMO ingredients they managed to prove their artisan hand at making something creative, indulgent and delicious,” added Solheim the honorary top taste-tester at the Vermont headquarters, who chooses Spectacular Speculoos as his favorite.
The Cookie Cores tested off the charts in early trials, leading Ben & Jerry’s to believe they found a new and exciting way for their fans to experience cookies and ice cream together. “These flavors are over the top, classic Ben & Jerry’s decadence with incredible flavor combinations and textures. They deliver the promise on a truly remarkable ice cream eating experience. These are cookies you’ll want to spoon!” added Solheim.
