Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge
Vanilla Caramel Fudge is described as "Vanilla Ice Cream with Swirls of Caramel and Fudge." Any child would recognize vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and caramel sauce as the three pillars upon which any respectable elementary school ice cream party stands. Maybe you also added sprinkles, or gummy bears, or strawberry syrup, but you always always always had vanilla ice cream, fudge, and caramel.
This Ben and Jerry's flavor is like your childhood ice cream parties grew up and got sexy. The first thing that hits you when you take a bite of this ice cream is a strong, but not overpowering vanilla flavor. It's not just any vanilla flavor either; it's high quality vanilla. This is a vanilla ice cream I would enjoy eating plain, it doesn't need the fudge and caramel to make it delicious. That said, the caramel and fudge were also awesome. They were thick and liquidy and perfect in texture, and the swirls were huge and thick! If you've tried the core flavors, these are like the cores, but more scattered throughout the pint and a little more liquid. Pure perfection.
I had been meaning to try this flavor for a while because I'm always interested to try more expensive brand's take on pretty standard ice cream flavors, but I had avoided picking it up because something about the design on the pint was off-putting. Something about the pictures of the caramel and fudge swirls on the front of the carton didn't seem very appetizing to me. They kind of reminded me Creme Savers (which weren't bad, I just wouldn't necessarily want them in my pint of Ben and Jerry's).
If you can make it past the picture on the pint, this is a solid offering from Ben and Jerry's. It's not revolutionary, but sometimes you just need the comfort of an ice cream sundae and Ben and Jerry's delivers.
