Ben & Jerry's One Sweet World
Ben & Jerry's One Sweet World is labeled as "Coffee Caramel ice cream with fudge chunks & Swirls of marshmallow and salted caramel". This has been my first scoop of B&J in quite some time due to lack of great limited edition pints they have put out. The rave is very strong on this one as it took quite some time to venture to my neck of the woods. Lets see what everyone is saying about this is true or not!
First of all I love coffee, if you have read any of my reviews that is pretty clear. The coffee base in B&J's is great, and for some reason it is not seen a lot. Not only in B&J, but in the ice cream industry as a whole. The subtle flavoring of a cold brew is also matched with a light roast. There is no bitterness to the coffee just a very smooth flavor from your vey first bite. I pick up small hints of caramel in the base, but that could also be in conjunction with the salted caramel swirl in the pint. None the less I personally enjoy the coffee base and wish to see it more.
The mix-ins include the fudge flakes, and the duo of swirls. First of all the fudge flakes are featured in nearly half of the ben & Jerry pints and have been in almost all of the previous limited edition pints (Truffle, One Love, Oat of this swirled, etc). I personally think they are boring, they don't add much to the pint, and the chocolate flavoring is just average. The caramel swirl was very hard to find in this experience. There was a small glimpse at the very top , but other then that I think it gets lost as the base is a portion of caramel as well. The marshmallow swirl on the other hand was no joke. This almost reminded me of eating a turkey hill quart with how large this aspect was. Towards the center I was eating chunks of marshmallow. The flavoring of it was just right and the texture was like fresh marshmallow fluff. This combined with the coffee base was on point.
My first scoop of a B&J Limited edition pint in a while was a success. While there could be some minor tweaks to make it better, it is definitely a pint you should go out and grab. The fudge flakes took a few points off because of how boring they are, and the lack of caramel swirl was the other missing element. Consistency can sometimes be an issue with a duo of swirl, but I have to say this was a good one.
