Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk
Ben & Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk is labeled as "Chocolate Ice Cream with White & Dark Fudge Chunks,
Pecans, Walnuts & Fudge-Covered Almonds". Talk about a mouthful in that one. Ben & Jerry's has never been known for top tier chocolate ice cream. It looks like they paired up with Everything But the and mixed around some mix-ins to make a variant flavor on their lineup. Being a big fan of Everything But The.. I am eager to see how this stacks up on the B&J Line.
Ben & Jerry’s chocolate base has never impressed m’e and it’s no different here. I am not going to say it’s bland, but it comes off pretty flat and lacks the richness of a milk chocolate bar or ice cream. Ben & Jerry's has a killer dark chocolate ice cream base, but they can't seem to get their regular milk chocolate/regular chocolate in check. There can be room for improvement, and there should be a reformulation on this base flavor in the future.
Super Fudge Chunk enlists White & Dark Fudge Chunks, Pecans, Walnuts, and Fudge-Covered Almonds. I have already written about my gripe on the fudge chunks and Ben & Jerry's before, but I will say it again. Their fudge chunks are super hard and can be jaw breaking at times. The flavoring is decent, but you need to let them sit out and soften before digging in. The walnuts like in Chunky Monkey were fantastic and carried over into this pint. The fudge coating added a pleasant crunch that released the nutty almond flavor inside. The white chocolate chunks were my favorite inclusion and worked well with the base. They’re about the same size as the dark fudge chunks but they have a softer texture.
Overall I went into this pint with middle of the road hopes, and came back a bit better than expected. First of all I love mix-ins, but the fudge covered almonds and white chocolate chunks really helped develop the weak chocolate base. The Walnuts were a great addition like in Chunky Monkey, but were a bit overpowered by base.The amount of mix-ins were involved in every single spoonful from top to bottom. Ben & Jerry's is good with consistency when it comes to mix-ins and usually leaves a fair amount to satisfy their consumers.
