Ben and Jerry's Make Your Own Core Sundae

By -
So I wasn't initially going to blog about this. But then a friend asked me what I thought of the new Ben and Jerry's Make Your Own Core Sundae and I talked to her about the one I had for like 10 minutes.  She looked a me like, "Lizzy, get a life" and I thought to myself (to quote Madeline) "This is the life that I have chosen."

Last Friday Brett and I went to Ben and Jerry's on the Delmar Loop. I had been really excited about the make your own core sundae and new I had to get one. They put two different flavors of ice cream and the core of your choosing all in one container and top it with whipped cream. What could be better than that? As a chocolate love I KNEW I wanted to get the hot fudge core. And I thought, "What a wonderful way to may two not-so-chocolate flavors more chocolatey?!" So I decided I wanted cookie dough and Americone Dream with the hot fudge core. I strode up the the counter confident in my decision and placed my order. Then, devastating news. The scooper told me they were out of the hot fudge core. I panicked, said I wanted the caramel core with AmeriCone Dream and Chocolate Therapy. When I guess what I really wanted was cookie dough and Chocolate Therapy. AmeriCone Dream already has caramel in it (it's basically a caramel cone flavor) so I was afraid it might be too much caramel.  But I had panicked and just said the two flavors that were right in front of me. Oh well, it wasn't going to taste bad.

I was also hesitant about this combo because I didn't really like the Salted Caramel Core flavor when I tried it, so I thought I didn't like the caramel core. But after a few bites of my core sundae I realized the caramel core itself was awesome and I must have just not liked the ice cream around the core in the Salted Caramel Core flavor.

The Chocolate Therapy ice cream can be a little monotonous at times, and having the caramel core really livened it up. Also, I think I would have preferred the cookie dough in this combo as opposed to the AmeriCone Dream, but AmeriCone Dream with extra caramel was pretty good too.

For a pricey $5.50ish, you definitely get your money's worth. It was more than I could eat in one sitting.  I took it home and finished it the next day. I definitely recommend making your own. The possibilities are almost endless!!

Comparison Post: Haagen-Dazs Vanilla vs Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean

Ok peeps, does anybody else think its a bit weird that Haagen-Dazs makes a Vanilla ice cream and a Vanilla Bean ice cream? Like, is that really necessary? Regardless, it is my duty as your guide to the ice cream world to try both flavors and report back. First, the description.  I'm taking the full paragraph from the website because it gives more info about the supposed differences between the two flavors. Vanilla: Vanilla is the essence of elegance and sophistication. This marriage of pure, sweet cream and Madagascar vanilla creates the sweet scent of exotic spice and a distinctive taste that lingers on the tongue. Vanilla Bean: A unique twist to our iconic flavor.  Our ice cream blends Madagascar vanilla and pure, sweet cream with flecks of real vanilla beans, for a spicy and sweet delight. Do we all agree that Haagen-Dazs' descriptions are bordering on florid here? Just wow.  So the descriptions have got me all hopped up and raring to eat some ice cream, but let

Nestle Drumstick, The Original Sundae Cone

Every once in a while you've just gotta have a classic. For me, and for many others, drumsticks are reminiscent of childhood summers and the ice cream truck coming by. I have memories of drumsticks being really, really tasty and exciting. But before I review them, lets have a little history lesson. And by history lesson, no I do not mean me talking about my childhood; I do not think I am yet old enough that I can call my childhood "history". (Although my students are often baffled that not only am I older than Facebook, I am also older than YouTube!!) What I do mean is a history lesson on waffle cones and drumsticks. As legend has it, at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, an ice cream maker ran out of bowls to serve ice cream in. Next to him was a waffle vendor. The ice cream guy asked the waffle guy for some waffles, and served his ice cream in rolled up waffles instead of bowls. And the waffle cone was born! Twenty four years later, the Parker bro

Ben and Jerry's Netflix and Chill'd

Really. A blog post. Literally 2 years to the day after the last blog post. (Srs, I did not plan that.) In that time I (Madeline) defended my thesis, so you can now call us Dr. Big Muddy Ice Cream Blog, thank you very much. So it's 2020. All through 2019 we joked that the year was a dumpster fire. Little did we know. We're in the midst of a global pandemic, Australia burned to the ground, March lasted 23 years, Kobe Bryant died, Donald Trump was not impeached, Megxit Megxited, my personal life is somewhat of a shit show, all of our mental health is a complete and total joke, so I decided now is the perfect time to write an ice cream blog post because ice cream is LITERALLY the only light left in the world. Ben and Jerry's Netflix and Chill'd came out at the beginning of the year, and I finally found it in Minneapolis. It is Peanut butter ice cream with sweet and salty pretzel swirls and fudge brownies. If you are not familiar with the term Netflix and Ch
