Ben & Jerry’s launches third Phish flavor: It’s Ice…Cream

June 7, 2018

The following is a press release from Ben & Jerry’s:

Whether you’re a true Phish fan or not, you’ve tried Ben & Jerry’s classic flavor, Phish Food. Ben & Jerry’s has partnered with Phish for a third flavor to celebrate the 21^st anniversary of The WaterWheel Foundation! It’s Ice… Cream features a caramel malt ice cream with almond toffee pieces, fudge fish and a caramel swirl and was one of the original flavor concepts in the running, back in 1997, to become Phish Food. Luckily, Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Gurus never lose sight of a good flavor concept and have brought it to pints. A portion of all proceeds will benefit The WaterWheel Foundation.

Phish artist Jim Pollock designed an exclusive poster for It’s Ice…Cream. Available at store.benjerry.com.

To celebrate It’s Ice…Cream, named after the 1991 Phish song “It’s Ice”, Ben & Jerry’s has created a one-of-a-kind pack featuring exclusive artwork by renowned Phish poster artist, Jim Pollock. But the artwork doesn’t stop with the Ben & Jerry’s pint. Ben & Jerry’s will be offering a merchandise gift pack available in limited quantities through store.benjerry.com, which includes a special poster design by Pollock. All proceeds of merchandise sales will directly benefit The WaterWheel Foundation.

Phish drummer Jon Fishman notes “For over twenty years, Phish has enjoyed a great partnership with Ben & Jerry’s and we’re excited that this new creative flavor can continue to support the work of The WaterWheel Foundation.”

It’s Ice… Cream is a part of Ben & Jerry’s uber-limited line known as Special Stash, which can be purchased exclusively at Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops, store.benjerry.com, and select retailers.

About The WaterWheel Foundation:
The WaterWheel Foundation was created by Phish in 1997 to oversee the band’s various charitable activities. These include Phish Food’s support of a clean Lake Champlain and it’s surrounding basin, relief funds created post-natural disaster eras for both the state of Vermont and the island of Tortola, and a cancer research fund as well as supporting a large sphere of needs including social services, primarily those benefitting women and children; environmental, with a focus on clean water and land conservation with public access; as well as food banks, urban gardening and arts education.

Our primary effort then and now is our Touring Division, though in keeping with our “Local” mission we also support Vermont-based non-profits and others in need. From its debut the mission of WaterWheel’s Touring Division has been to raise funds for pre-selected non-profits in each community that Phish visits while on tour. In essence, WaterWheel is the Phish community coming together to share in positive ways with the local communities the fans all visit on tour stops. The net proceeds raised at each show – fan donations plus the sale of WaterWheel logo merchandise and items autographed by the band – are donated to the organization tabling at the show, after deducting overhead costs. Thanks to the generosity of the fans and the band, since its creation WaterWheel has donated over $4,000,000 to organization across the country.

The following is a press release from Baskin-Robbins:

Baskin-Robbins, the world’s largest chain of ice cream specialty shops, is introducing its first-ever wine and ice cream pairings to give moms nationwide a fun way to celebrate Mother’s Day with two of their favorite things – wine and ice cream. Guests can pick-up Baskin-Robbins ice cream in-store to enjoy at home with these pairings as a cool way to kick off the summer season.

In collaboration with Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate Wines, members of the Baskin-Robbins Culinary Team created unique wine and ice cream pairings featuring popular types of wine with delicious Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavors, including seasonal favorites for summer. Each pairing denotes the distinct flavors of each wine and ice cream flavor to create a new way to experience Baskin-Robbins ice cream with friends and family. The Baskin-Robbins wine and ice cream pairings include:

Pinot Grigio or Grenache Blanc with Vanilla: A refreshingly indulgent combination, the buttery vanilla flavor of the ice cream brings out the crisp, green fruit notes in the wine.
Riesling or Gruner Veltliner with Pralines ‘n Cream: The praline pecan and caramel flavors in the ice cream pair well with the apple notes of the wine. The ice cream also helps to round out the fresh green notes of the wine.
Rosé with Rainbow Sherbet: The citrus and berry flavors in the sherbet bring out the floral, fruity notes in the wine.
Pinot Noir with World Class Chocolate: A world class ice cream with a world class wine. The silkiness of the ice cream complements the vanilla and fruit notes of the wine and rounds out the mouthfeel.
Chardonnay with Old Fashioned Butter Pecan: The sweetness of the ice cream complements the honey, buttery and oaky notes inherent in the wine.
Cabernet Sauvignon with Jamoca® Almond Fudge: The robust flavors of the cabernet bring out the nutty, coffee notes of the ice cream.
Sauvignon Blanc or Albariño with Raspberry Sorbet: The fresh raspberry flavor of the sorbet brings out the crisp accents and refreshing quality of the wine.
Merlot with Chocolate: A classic, indulgent flavor pairing. Chocolate rounds out the mouthfeel of the merlot, and the pairing is reminiscent of a chocolate-dipped red berry.

Moo-phoria pints are full of all the wonderful chunks and swirls that fans adore, along with rich and creamy vanilla, chocolate, caramel and peanut butter flavors. What’s missing?

Moo-phoria pints are available in three hard-to-resist flavors:

Caramel Cookie Fix (Photo courtesy of Ben & Jerry’s)

Chocolate Milk & Cookies (Photo courtesy of Ben & Jerry’s)

P.B. Dough (Photo courtesy of Ben & Jerry’s)

Chocolate Milk & Cookies—Chocolate and vanilla light ice cream swirled with chocolate chip cookies. 140 calories per ½ cup serving.
Caramel Cookie Fix—Vanilla light ice cream with shortbread cookies and salted caramel swirl. 150 calories per ½ cup serving.
PB Dough—Chocolate light ice cream with gobs of chocolate chip peanut butter cookie dough. 160 calories per ½ cup serving.

In addition to the famous chunks and swirls, Ben & Jerry’s sources organic milk and cream for the base mix of each Moo-phoria flavor.

Ben & Jerry’s unveils new flavors for January 2018

January 9, 2018

The following is a press release from Ben & Jerry’s:

Launching a new line of ice cream flavors in mid-January might seem counter-intuitive, but the Flavor Gurus at Ben & Jerry’s have always played by their own, creative rules. This year the ice cream company is dishing up an innovative line of truffle-inspired indulgence (one with a cold brew coffee base!), two more flavors of Non-Dairy deliciousness, and new takes on enjoying long-standing fan favorite flavors in Pint Slices.

“We wanted to bring the WOW factor to our fans for 2018,” said Craig Koskiniemi who helped create the dynamic lineup, from Pint Slice flavors to the truffle-laden lineup additions. “As a foodie at home AND at work, I’m inspired to come up with creative new combinations like a cold brew coffee-based Ben & Jerry’s flavor. These are guaranteed to keep the love of ice cream strong,” added the Flavor Guru.

Pint Slices

Ben & Jerry’s builds on its newest novelty innovation, Pint Slices, a portable, on-the-go ice cream bar with all the chunks and swirls of its pint lineup. The ice cream maker is unveiling more fan-favorite flavors in this fantastically fun format.

Cherry Garcia—This legend-dairy lineup leader has been one of the most-requested flavors for Pint Slices. Fans don’t have to wait any longer. Cherry ice cream bars with cherries & fudge flakes, covered in a dark chocolatey coating.

Tonight Dough—Jimmy Fallon’s beloved flavor was one of our most successful launches in pints. Now you can get your hands on it as a Pint Slice. Caramel ice cream bars with chocolate cookie swirls & gobs of peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough covered in a dark chocolatey coating. If that’s not euphoric enough for you, Jimmy is also donating all his proceeds to the SeriousFun Children’s Network.

Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz—A fan favorite that packs a caffeine pick-me-up. Coffee ice cream bars with espresso bean fudge chunks covered in a dark chocolatey coating with cocoa nibs.

To celebrate the launch of the newest Pint Slice flavors, Ben & Jerry’s will go west to amp up the euphoria for fans in Los Angeles with a special pop-up Pint Slice carnival and ride experience. From 11 am – 8 pm today, fans can get in on the fun at the corner of Hollywood and Vine for a special street carnival complete with Pint Slice inspired games, photo booth, and an oversized Pint Slice swing. Tunes provided by iconic record store Amoeba Music (DJ Monalisa from 4 – 8pm).

Truffle Pints

The Truffle Pint lineup includes three decadent flavors with some of the biggest chunks you’ll find in a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. Spooning out the soft, sweet truffles inside these new flavors will make you a certified chunk spelunker.

Chocolate Shake It—Chocolate malt milkshake ice cream with chocolate cookie-covered fudge truffles and marshmallow swirls.

Caramel Chocolate Cheesecake—Caramel chocolate ice cream with graham cracker-covered cheesecake truffles and chocolate cookie swirls.

Chillin’ the Roast—Cold brew coffee ice cream with chocolate cookie-covered coffee liqueur truffles and fudge swirls.

Non-Dairy

In 2018, Ben & Jerry’s is scooping out more options to fans who appreciate “everything but the cow” with two new Non-Dairy, vegan certified flavors. What started as four almond milk-based frozen dessert flavors is now a line of NINE pints.

Peanut Butter Half Baked—Chocolate and peanut butter with fudge brownies and gobs of peanut butter cookie dough.

Cinnamon Buns—Cinnamon with cinnamon bun dough and a cinnamon streusel swirl.

Ben & Jerry’s fans can find the new pints and Pint Slices in grocery stores nationwide (MSRP $4.99for ice cream, $5.99 for Non-Dairy). Chocolate Shake It, Pint Slices, and other unique offerings will also be available in participating Scoop Shops. To learn more or to find a store near you, visit www.benjerry.com
