Ben & Jerry’s is always pushing the boundaries when it comes to ice cream, and the brand’s latest concoctions are even more creative.
The ice cream giant has come up with Topped – a range of three flavours that add an extra layer into the mix, with a different topping on each one.
There’s Topped: Salted Caramel Brownie, featuring brownies from New York’s Greyston Bakery, Fairtrade chocolate ampersand shaped chunks and salted caramel swirls, and topped with an extra layer of soft gooey chocolate and extra chocolate chunks.
Next up is Topped: Chocolate Caramel Cookie Dough, with chocolate ice cream, caramel swirls, ampersand shaped chocolate chunks and cookie dough chunks, all finished off with a spoonable soft chocolatey topping and chocolate chunks.
Finally there’s Topped: Strawberry Swirled, a combination of vanilla ice cream, strawberry and marshmallow swirls, shortbread chunks, white chocolate ampersand shaped chunks and a white spoonable topping with extra white chocolate chunks on top.
“We’ve been mixing ice cream with big chunks and swirls for a long time now, and thought it was about time we took things up a level!” said Ben & Jerry’s flavour guru Andrea Ball.
“While the chocolatey layer makes it Topped, what’s underneath makes it Ben & Jerry’s.
“Big spoon or little spoon, we think this is something our fans will enjoy curling up with.”
Ben & Jerry’s UK and Ireland brand manager, Christina Dunn, added: “The Topped family is our most euphoric concoction yet, combining all the Ben & Jerry’s euphoria fans love, with never-before-seen flavour combinations, such as cookie dough with chocolate ice cream and caramel swirls, plus an all new gooey chocolate topping.”
The Topped flavours will be available nationwide from March, retailing at £5.49.
This comes after Express.co.uk reported that you can now buy giant Kinder Surprise eggs.
The huge version of the popular German chocolate treat is made with exactly the same recipe, and is just a larger version of the fun delicacy.
Known for its delicious milky recipe and two toned outer and inner shell, the huge Kinder Surprise egg is hitting shelves for Easter.
The eggs are five times the size of the regular snack and weight 100g.
They will also contain the covetable My Little Pony or Transformers: Robots in Disguise toys inside.
They cost between £5 to £15 and will be available in British supermarkets, including Asda and Tesco.
