Ranking Ben and Jerrys flavors #5-1

The cream of the crop, best of the best. The mount rushmore of Ben and Jerrys flavors. I would eat these everyday if I could. Any fan of ice cream needs to try these five flavors.

5. Pumpkin Cheesecake: The best cheesecake flavor from Ben and Jerrys, but unfortunately a flavor thats only available two months of the year. I previously talked about cheesecake flavors that had to much graham cracker, and ones that had to little, well this one gets it just right. The flavor doesnt have any mix ins or anything crazy, its just pumpkin ice cream with graham crackers. Normally a flavor that would be called to subtle for me, but this is perfection.

4. Key Lime Pie: Another flavor that unfortunately is only available part of the year, this one during the summer months.And unlike Pumpkin cheesecake which comes out every fall, this one only comes out every other summer, taking turns with Pina Colada. Lime ice cream with pie crust pieces, a lime swirl, and a meringue swirl. A busy flavor that puts it all together to create something special. The pie crust pieces add a perfect texture and nice taste. The meringue swirl adds a delicious whipped cream like taste, and the lime swirl adds a perfect tanginess to offset the meringue swirl. Pure deliciousness, I cant wait for summer to come back.

3. What A Cluster: For peanut butter lovers. Peanut butter ice cream with Peanut butter swirls, marshmallow swirls, and peanut butter cluster pieces. The Marshmallow and peanut butter together is a beautiful combination, but the cluster pieces steal the show. These candy pieces filled with a peanut butter like substance are delicious whenever you come across them.

Slight pause: As amazing as those previously three flavors are, there is absolutely no dispute about the top two. There is a big gap between 3 and 2, but the top two are pretty interchangeable. These two are pure heaven.

2. Candy Bar Pie: This is a flavor that unfortunately is not available in pints, only in scoop shops. So whenever I want it, I have to go down to the scoop shop at Universal Studios to get it. The problem is whenever I would go to the scoop shop I would get my number one flavor, so it took me awhile before I decided to try it. Once I did however, I was instantly addicted. During Halloween Horror Nights last year I went to have a scoop of this flavor almost nightly. It is Peanut butter ice cream with nougat swirls, pretzel swirls, and fudge flakes. The real star is the pretzel swirls. Salty swirls combined with peanut butter ice cream is amazing. Add fudge flakes to that its even more amazing. Add a unique nougat swirl and now my mind is racing thinking about how I need to go to universal now to get me a scoop of this flavor immediately. Just looking at these pictures makes me crave it immediately.

1. Milk and Cookies: One of the very first Ben and Jerrys flavors I have ever tried. It was instantly my favorite and it hasnt lost its luster since. The base flavor is just vanilla, nothing special. But the flavor together is vanilla ice cream with chocolate cookies and chocolate chocolate cookies. Not cookie dough, cookies. This one was a game changer. Many ice creams try to incorporate cookie dough, but already baked cookies? it had never been done. Well now it has and the results are stunning. I dont even like cookie dough ice creams anymore after having the result of having actual cookies in the ice cream. Its actually a pretty simple flavor, no crazy swirls or anything, just cookies and vanilla ice cream. And it is decadent.
