I think that I have worked my way through most of the Ben & Jerry flavours however on my last trip to the supermarket I noticed yet another flavour of Ben & Jerry's..... Cheesecake Brownie Ice Cream. Well of course I had to try it.


***What is it?***

Ben & Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie Ice Cream is "Cheesecake flavoured Ice Cream with Cheesecake Brownie Chunks"

The B & J's Cheesecake Brownie Ice Cream comes in a 500ml cardboard ice cream tub with lid, very similar to the other products from the brand. The tub has a blue background with white clouds.
On the front of the carton is the Ben & Jerry's logo and images marbled white and chocolate pieces of brownie.

On the back of the tub there is a description about the Ben & Jerry's brand and company values


***Price***
A 500ml tub costs £3.98 in Asda and Tesco. This is very expensive. The supermarkets often have special offers on Ben & Jerry's products offering BOGOF offers or half price offers which still makes the ice creams relatively expensive but much better value for money and worth stocking up on.


***Ben & Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie Ice Cream***

When you open the tub there is no real distinctive aroma, just a very sweet scent with a slight aroma of chocolate.

The ice cream is a speckled creamy beige colour. Within the ice cream are pieces of chocolate brownie. These are a reasonable size but smaller than the pieces of brownie in the Chocolate Brownie Flavoured Ice Cream from Ben & Jerry's.

The taste of the ice cream is delicious. It is not the most distinctive of cheesecake flavours but it does have a rich creamy sweet flavour which is very much like the soft cheese filling in a cheesecake. The ice cream is very creamy and smooth and has a very silky and thick consistency when it is in your mouth. The flavour is quite strong and I feel quite sickly.

The pieces of Cheesecake Brownie chunks gives the ice cream a slightly more varied flavour. The brownie pieces are soft and chewy and have a very rich sweet chocolate flavour. This is a rich chocolate taste but not quite as strong as the brownie pieces in the chocolate brownie flavour. The chocolate brownie flavour and cheesecake ice cream combine well giving a sweet and creamy flavour but this is very sickly, therefore you do feel quite sick if you eat too large of a portion.

As you can see from the above information, this is not a healthy product but is a great treat every once in a while.


***Overall***

I would definitely recommend Cheesecake Brownie ice cream to anyone who likes the richer, sweeter Ben & Jerry's flavours such as Phish Food and Chocolate Brownie. The ice cream has a very sweet rich cheesecake flavour and has delicious pieces of rich chocolately tasting brownie pieces in. This is sweet but maybe not quite as sweet and sickly and the Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Brownie flavour ice cream.

Again like with other products from Ben & Jerry's this is not a product which is cheap at £3.98 per tub and also not so great for the waistline.

But this is another great flavour from Ben & Jerry's, perfect for those that love rich creamy tasting chocolate cheesecake.
