Big delicious chunks of chocolate-chip cookie dough surrounded by creamy vanilla
ice cream. It seems like such a no-brainer today, but in 1984 it was
revolutionary. The Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream you know and love
started with a simple suggestion: What if you put chunks of chocolate-chip
cookie dough into vanilla ice cream? That was the fantastic anonymous idea
submitted way back in the early days of our first Burlington, Vermont, USA,
Scoop Shop.
We used to have a bulletin board where people could suggest new flavours for
Jerry & Ben to make — and this idea stood out. The folks at the Scoop Shop
immediately went to work mixing up a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough. It
was an instant hit.
Initially, the flavour was only available at the Scoop Shop. When we decided to
sell it in tubs as a frozen dessert, we had to figure out how to get that
familiar cookie-dough taste, consistency and texture at ice cream temperatures.
We teamed up with local producer Rhino Foods and, over an incredible six-year
journey, we perfected the cookie dough found in our tubs today.
In 1991, Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream tubs began
appearing in freezer aisles everywhere. It has remained one of our most popular
and beloved flavours ever since!
We work with Fairtrade certified producers for cocoa, sugar and vanilla, and our
caring dairy farmers produce the milk and cream in this tub sustainably.
All of our ice cream is made with free-range eggs, and we use responsibly
sourced packaging.
