Ben & Jerry’s reveals new Topped ice cream line

Unilever-owned Ben & Jerry’s has introduced its new Topped ice cream line in the US, which features seven new flavours covered with a chocolate ganache.

Inspired by sundaes, each Topped flavour is paired with a layer of semi-soft chocolate ganache on top.

Whiskey Biz features brown butter bourbon ice cream with blonde brownies and whiskey caramel swirls, which is topped with white chocolate ganache and white fudge chunks. The flavour has been produced in partnership with Vermont spirit brand WhistlePig Whiskey, featuring its PiggyBackRye whiskey cooked into the caramel swirls.

Meanwhile Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough consists of chocolate ice cream with caramel swirls and ‘gobs’ of chocolate chip cookie dough, which is topped with caramel cups and chocolate ganache.

The remaining five flavours include:

• PB Over the Top – Chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls and peanut butter cups, topped with mini peanut butter cups and chocolate ganache
• Salted Caramel Brownie – Vanilla ice cream with salted caramel swirls and fudge brownies, topped with caramel cups and chocolate ganache
• Strawberry Topped Tart – Sweet cream ice cream with strawberry swirls and pie crust pieces, topped with white chocolate ganache and candy sprinkles
• Thick Mint – Mint ice cream with chocolate cookie swirls and mint chocolate cookie balls, topped with chocolate cookies and chocolate ganache
• Tiramisu – Mascarpone ice cream with fudge swirls and shortbread pieces, topped with espresso fudge chunks and chocolate ganache

“We wanted to dial up the indulgence level with this unique line of flavours, which entirely challenges how you eat this ice cream,” said Dena Wimette, Ben & Jerry’s innovation guru.

“We started with sundaes and all the things you add to sundaes to make them great as our inspiration. You could say we ended up going over the Topped.”

Ben & Jerry’s new Topped ice cream line is available now at retailers nationwide for an RRP of $4.99-5.49.

Earlier this month, the company launched Cookie Dough Twist tubs in Rain-dough and Dough-ble Chocolate varieties.
