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 Cookie Dough 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 amazing 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 and 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, 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, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 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 in a sustainable way. All of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is made with cage-free eggs, and we use responsibly-sourced packaging.
Vanilla Ice Cream with Chunks of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
In 1986, following a tip from a fan, we pondered putting cookie dough in our ice cream. But our machines couldn't handle those big chunks of dough. We had to hand-cut the chunks & throw them into the vanilla ice cream! 5 years later, applying a few secret techniques, we found chunk feeder perfection. 20 years on, we made this fan-favourite Fairtrade too! Happy days!
