Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Shake It
Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Shake It is labeled as "Chocolate Malt Milkshake Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookie-Covered Fudge Truffles & Marshmallow Swirls". Ben & Jerry's does not have a great track record with their chocolate bases, but I am willing to give a new flavor a chance. B&J's is very well known for killer marshmallow swirls, so I am hoping this ones shines.
The chocolate malt milkshake ice cream is a huge upgrade from the mediocre chocolate base Ben &
Jerry’s is known for. The combination of malt and milk chocolate gives you the vibe of sipping on a
Wendy’s frosty. The density of the chocolate flavor is what lacks, but it has been improved. While this is
still not a top tier chocolate in the ice cream industry it is a step in the right direction.
The chocolate cookie covered fudge truffles are easily the best of the truffle mix-ins. Take a ball of milk
chocolate and coat it in crushed up oreo cookies. The crunchiness of the outside cookie shell, and the
pairing of the milk chocolate center enhance the experience of the ice cream base. The real star of the
show is the marshmallow swirl. Just like in “One Sweet World” this is consistent from top to bottom.
There are points during your experience where you may encounter globs of marshmallows (which is
never a bad thing). The rich and luscious marshmallow flavor give the dense chocolate base and mix-ins
a great combination.
Overall I thought this would be the worst pint of the 3 new flavors due to the chocolate base. I was
wrong. The malt milkshake addition turns this into a classic wendy’s dessert with a massive swirl and
decent truffles. I would suggest grabbing this one out of the three new flavors.
