Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia

The other day I wrote a review of my favourite Ben and Jerrys ice cream, Phish food. Usually if I buy Ben and Jerrys then I won't consider any other flavour but I fancied a change and someone on my other review commented that teir favourite flavour was Cherry Garcia. Not last night but the night before I ate a whole tub of Chocolate fudge brownie flavour (which is now my new favourite flavour) to myself and was all chocolated out. We had guests around last night and when we mentioned that it was half price at Sainsburys they decided to go and get some. They asked me if I wanted a pot and I just didn't have the will power to say no. I fancied something fruity ...  Read the complete review

Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia is actually a Low Fat Frozen Yoghurt and not classed as an Ice Cream. It is made with flavoured Yoghurt and contains real pieces of Bing Cherries (firm cherries that ship well and are very large) and chocolate chuncks. It is said that this flavour was a tribute to Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead (vocalist and lead guitar). If this flavour was made in your honour it would really be quite an honour indeed!

It has a generous amount of fruit and chocolate chunks in it and I don't think ...  Read the complete review

mmmm Ben and Jerrys... where to begin!? Cheery Garcia is one of the Ben and Jerrys classic flavors, and without a doubt a firm favorite with the public thats here to stay.

It's quite a lot sweeter than you'd expect from a fruit flavored icecream, but in general I've found that to be true of most Ben and Jerrys flavors. The addition of the fudge flakes goes a long way towards this, but in my personal opinion this is what makes it the ...  Read the complete review

I'm a bit worried about writting this review because I really don't want to be tempted to go out and buy it. This particular ice cream really reminds me of being in spain having a cherry ice cream. So its tastey and nostalgic. It would be good to have bigger cherries with a cherry sharp taste with a creamy taste to make it more mouth watering. Ben and Jerrys are a very good brand. And now you can usually buy it from your pizza delivery service, or a local shop, supermarket. I give this 8/10. Its a tastey treat but it does have about 3/4 of a womans daily reccommended allowance I think its around 1500 calories. If your anything like me ...  Read the complete review
