Ben & Jerry’s Best Flavor?
Food people are a very giving people, but every once in a blue moon we’re delivered a gift that is too good to share. A gift that turns us into Gollum-like beasts, cowering over a pint of ice cream and whispering, “My precioussss.” This time, the treasure is Ben & Jerry’s latest flavor, Two Wild & Crazy Pies. The latest in a series of “Saturday Night Live”-inspired batches, this flavor is named after the 1977 skit “Two Wild & Crazy Guys,” starring Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd. Ben & Jerry’s describes this heavenly concoction as a combination of coconut cream pie ice cream, chocolate cream pie ice cream, and a scrumptious chocolate cookie swirl.
It tastes like someone deconstructed all the best parts of a Good Humor Chocolate Eclair Bar — the soft cookie crumble, the milky, chocolate ice cream — and melted them into a tub of ultra-creamy coconut ice cream. Whereas Ben & Jerry’s has a tendency to go a little light on the swirl, they made no such mistake this time — the crumbly texture of the chocolate cookie swirl is ubiquitous throughout every spoonful, making it one of the most generously proportioned flavors in Ben & Jerry’s history. Here’s what our sample looked like, before we devoured it:
