The Best Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Pint Flavor Tops Half Baked And The Tonight Dough

Is there such a thing as a bad flavor of Ben & Jerry's ice cream? Perhaps there are some that are less desirable than others, but when it comes to ranking B&J's ice cream flavors, one definitely rises to the top. We love the Stephen Colbert-inspired "Americone Dream" and Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Dough," but are either of them the best? Nope. So which is? Daily Meal writer Sarah Dealy set out on an epic quest to determine the best flavor using the frozen dessert's texture, quantity of chunks, cohesiveness, and overall flavor to crown "Everything But The..." as the pint that you want to be buying on repeat.

Ben & Jerry's "Everything But The..." made its debut in 2000. It is a combination of chocolate and vanilla ice cream that has been bedazzled with peanut butter cups, pieces of fudge-covered toffee, bits of white chocolate chunks, and fudge-covered almonds. What makes this flavor so appealing to the taste buds is a combination of sweet and salty, coupled with crunchy and smooth. Some might say it has a little bit of everything for all ice cream lovers.

But our Daily Meal author isn't the only Ben & Jerry's fan who feels that "Everything But The..." is the best flavor from this brand. One B&J satisfied customer wrote in a review, "My all-time favorite, yet so hard to find around here. Has a little bit of all the best stuff!" While another satiated ice cream eater declared, "The absolute best ben and jerry's flavor!!! It's delicious , so creamy, great texture. Nothing bad to say about it at alllll!!! So so delicious!!"

How do the makers come up with these combinations that keep us happy? Believe it or not, Ben & Jerry's receives a huge number of suggested ice cream flavors each year. According to its website, the company gets over 13,000 suggestions, and not only reads them all, but encourages ice cream fans to send all those crazy and weird flavor thoughts its way. While Gregarious Gorgonzola, which would feature dark chocolate ice cream with raspberry jam and gorgonzola cheese, and Pepperoni ice cream are probably not going to make it to production, you never know.
