Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Americone Dream

Vanilla
ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and a caramel swirl.
Ben & jerry’s churned up this euphoric creation in honor of the late
show funnyman stephen colbert.

It
all started back in the fall of 2006 when ben & jerry’s flavor
gurus began tinkering away with colbert’s personal take on ice cream
perfection. Test batches were so euphoric that word quickly spread about
the secret collaboration. Rumor became reality when colbert invited ben
and jerry to join him in announcing the collaboration during an episode
of the colbert report.

The
flavor has been a huge hit ever since, but what many people don’t know
is that the project is, as colbert puts it, “saving the world,” too. You
see, he donates proceeds from the sale of americone dream to charity.
The fund, named in honor of the flavor, supports charities of concern to
colbert, such as food and medical assistance for disadvantaged
children, helping veterans and their families, and environmental causes.

Like
all of ben & jerry’s flavors, americone dream is made with
non-gmo-sourced ingredients, cage-free eggs, and kosher-certified milk
and cream from sustainable caring dairy farmers. Fairtrade certified
suppliers provide the cocoa, sugar, and vanilla, plus the product’s
packaging is responsibly sourced.
