This is the Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie. It featured chocolate ice cream blended with fudge brownies sourced from New York’s Greyston Bakery. Established in 1982 by Bernie Glassman, a former aeronautical engineer turned Buddhist monk, the bakery was founded as a means to fund initiatives benefiting the underprivileged. Since 1987, Greyston Bakery has been the exclusive provider of brownies for this particular Ben & Jerry’s flavour.
Upon tasting, the ice cream revealed ample chunks of brownie scattered throughout its dark and decadent chocolate base. The interplay of chocolate-on-chocolate resulted in an exceptionally rich chocolate flavour. However, the velvety smoothness of the ice cream and the chewy richness of the fudge brownie pieces introduced contrasting textures and layers of richness, preventing each spoonful from becoming monotonous. Whether savouring the creaminess of the ice cream, the intensity of the chocolate flavour, or the satisfying chewiness of the brownies, each element underscored the ice cream’s luxurious nature. This ice cream clearly prioritized the use of high-quality ingredients, resulting in an unmatched combination of flavours and textures that truly justify the calorie indulgence.
This Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie contained 458 mL. It was produced in The United States and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2023.
