Ben & Jerry's Baked Alaska

"I am enjoying a relationship with 2 men simultaneously. The first called Ben, the other, Jerry." The above is a quote from Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, and is a joke that has been told before in various paraphrasing in popular culture - however seems rather appropriate as they continue taking over the dessert world. Move over Häagen-Dazs, the ex-hippie creators and namesakes of this deliciously witty and environmentally conscious ice cream brand are the new men in our lives... or freezer, rather (without sounding too horror-cliché). With flavours such as Cherry Garcia (homage to Grateful Dead's Jerry) and Bohemian Raspberry (chortle ...  Read the complete review

~*~ Ben and Jerry's Baked Alaska ~*~ When you go 'on a diet', you automatically start looking at all the foods you cant eat, yearning for just one bite, but resisting. Then, undoubtedly, a few weeks down the line you decide to give up, buy it all, and indulge in one huge binge, consuming a months worth of calories in a night. Well that's how it works for me (or used to until I finally cracked it, but I'll save that for another review!) Anyway, I first saw the new Ben and Jerry's flavour in a magazine a few months back and my mouth started watering just looking at it.

Whilst shopping in Tesco this week I noticed they were selling Ben and Jerry's 500ml ice cream tubs at just £1.99 instead of the usual £3.99. After perusing the flavours on offer, I opted for Baked Alaska because I'd already tried most of the other flavours and I thought the kids would love discovering the little white chocolate polar bears hidden within the ice cream. ********* Packaging ********* This particular flavour of Ben and Jerry's ice cream comes packaged in one of the instantly recognisable 500ml squat cardboard tubs bearing the brand name. The Baked Alaska tub is predominantly yellow and brown in colour featuring a melting polar bear ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who shops at Morrisons at the moment will notice they currently have 500ml tubs of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream on offer at £1.90 a tub! I always treat myself to Ben & Jerry's when I see it on offer anywhere, as it is my favourite ice cream, but at full price it is quite expensive. Ben & Jerry's were founded in 1978, after old schoolfriends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield completes a $5 correspondence course in ice cream making and opened their first ice-cream shop in an old gas station in Vermont!
