It’s only February so I’m sure this will come as good news to those still hanging in there on their ‘new year, new me’ health kick.
Ben & Jerry’s have launched a low-calorie ice cream in three delicious flavours – Chocolate Milk and Cookies, P.B. Dough (peanut butter) and Caramel Cookie Fix.
Yes. Please.
Chocolate Milk and Cookies:
Chocolate ice cream with chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough – 140 calories per serving.
The description reads:
To everyone who dunked their chocolate chip cookies in chocolate milk as a kid, this flavour is for you. All the yum of chocolate, vanilla, and cookies, in a light ice cream flavour that even your inner kid would go bananas for.
P.B. Dough:
Chocolate ice cream with gobs of chocolate chip peanut butter cookie dough – 160 calories per serving.
The description reads:
Is there anything more euphoric — er, Moo-phoric, we mean — than cookie dough? We think not. That’s why we packed this pint with more gobs of chocolate chip peanut butter cookie dough than you can shake a spoon at.
Caramel Cookie Fix:
Vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirl and shortbread cookies – 150 calories per serving.
The description reads:
When you can’t decide between salty and sweet, Caramel Cookie Fix has just what you need. Plenty of sweet, not too much salty, and just the right amount of cookie and caramel swirls to crush that craving.
This comes after Ben & Jerry’s announced three flavours of dairy free ice cream.
Vegans and those who are lactose intolerant can enjoy the delicious taste of Ben & Jerry’s in Chunky Monkey and Chocolate Fudge Brownie, and Peanut Butter & Cookies.
Chunky Monkey is banana ice cream with chocolate chunks and walnuts, Chocolate Fudge Brownie is a chocolate combination of ice cream and brownies, and new kid on the block Peanut Butter & Cookies is vanilla ice cream with chocolate cookies and peanut butter swirls.
All three are made with almond milk and are fair trade.
If you’re not overly fussed about lower calories or dairy free, and just want the ice cream for what it is, there has been some other exciting news this week.
Several ice cream versions of Kinder Bueno are about to be released.
They are being released around the world and although it currently doesn’t look like one is coming to the UK at the moment, let’s keep our fingers crossed!
On the website for the German version of Walls, Langnese, a product description for the Kinder Bueno Ice Cream Cone reads:
Here, fine hazelnut milk ice meets a core of KINDER milk chocolate sauce, embedded in a crispy croissant covered with a fine layer of hazelnut cream made from Ferrero hazelnuts.
There’s a Bueno stick described as being made of vanilla and Kinder flavoured ice cream and coated in chocolate and crunchy hazelnut pieces.
And, book your trips across the Channel, a Bueno sandwich – the same ice cream sandwiched between two tasty and nutty biscuits.
I’ll take all of the above. Thanks in advance.
