Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Fudgy chunks of brownie goodness mixed into dark and rich chocolate ice cream. Sounds like a dream.

At
first, that’s all it was. Long ago, we were making brownie ice cream
sandwiches for sale in grocery stores. Sometimes there would be broken
pieces in the brownie delivery, and we’d nab them for flavour
experiments. What would brownie pieces taste like in chocolate ice
cream? Pretty good, as it turns out! That original experimental flavour
eventually became the legendary ice cream concoction known as chocolate
fudge brownie.

Meanwhile,
ben cohen had met bernie glassman, the founder of greyston bakery, a
yonkers, new york, usa-based company with a mission to end poverty and
give back to the community. Equally important, their brownies were just
so darn good—after sampling some, ben handwrote a note asking for two
truckloads of brownie pieces. While we knew greyston would be the ideal
supplier for turning chocolate fudge brownie into a flavour sold by the
tub, getting the brownies to cooperate wasn’t easy. After about 25
batches of brownies and six months of work, the flavour finally debuted
in 1991, and it’s been a hit ever since.

All
the cocoa, sugar and vanilla ben & jerry’s uses is fairtrade
certified, and the milk and cream comes from caring dairy farmers.
Greyston bakery, one of the largest social enterprises in the usa,
continues to provide the brownies for this and all of our flavours. Our
ice cream is made with non-gmo sourced ingredients and cage-free eggs.
And all our packaging is responsibly sourced.
