And boy, does this brand have range!
Here’s how they ranked in descending order from my least favorite to the best overall.
Chunky Monkey
This banana ice creamis packed with chunks of chocolate fudge and whole walnuts.

The walnuts are mostly whole, and there were plenty of thin slivers of fudgy chocolate chips.
The taste:This ice cream tasted almost exactly like a banana-flavored Laffy Taffy.
It’s also not far off from the essence of tropical-scented sun tan products.

The walnuts, which were large and plentiful, unfortunately, became soggy and mushy.
Under the hard-ish top shell, you’ll find mascarpone ice cream swirled with fudge and shortbread chunks.
The top is studded with shards of chocolate chunks that turned out to be “espresso-laced fudge.”

I also expected more tang and savoriness from the mascarpone, but it just tasted like vanilla to me.
The look:There were plenty of fudge and caramel ripples in this pint.
The taste:Sweet.

That’s all I can really say about this flavor.
The caramel, fudge, and vanilla ice cream all combined into a uniform texture and unidentifiable flavor.
Unfortunately, it was lacking in the flavor department.

The look:The strawberry cheesecake ice cream base is plain and simple.
It looks like vanilla, with flecks of pink strawberries.
The graham cracker offered a nice textural balance but didn’t impact the flavor much.

The center was so sweet and sticky that I tried to avoid it.
The brownie chunks were as fudgy and tasty as always, I just wanted more of them.
Growing up, Phish Food was my flavor of choice.

The look: I was blown away by the amount of marshmallow in this pint.
This was unfortunately not the Phish Food I remembered.

The taste:I liked the mild coffee flavor and chewy chunks of chocolate cookie.

Vanilla was the perfect neutral base to let all the cookie goodness shine.
And without caramel or marshmallow, this flavor wasn’t cloyingly sweet.

The chocolate ice cream is loaded with pieces of chocolate cookie and swirls of chocolate pudding ice cream.
The cookie pieces are present, but I’d love more.
The taste:This pint is for chocoholics.

The cookies are doughy and soft, but I would have loved bigger chunks.
The simple combo of cherry ice cream with cherries and fudge flakes is an all-around crowd-pleaser.
The look:Despite what you might assume, this cherry ice cream is white, not purple.

It gets a slight rosy hue from the jelly-like cherries in the mix.
There are plenty of chocolate shards of various sizes.
The ample chocolate added crunch and a touch of bitterness to give the flavor more of a sophisticated feel.

Most were whole nuts, but there were a few crushed bits as well.

The taste:This creamy flavor tastes like real pistachio.
The chocolate chips are tiny but add just the right amount of crunch.
Ben & Jerry’s even sells its cookie dough as a stand-alone item, it’s that good.

It features chocolate and vanilla ice creams mixed with those beloved cookie dough chunks plus cubes of fudge brownies.
The cookie dough has its signature satisfyingly toothsome texture and just-sweet-enough flavor.
It’s proof that more isn’t always more.

And they’re not shy with the toffee chunks in this pint.
