Review- Ben & Jerry's NEW Cinnamon Buns Ice Cream

From a hot pud to a cold.. It doesn't matter what the weather, when the mood takes me, I will have Ice Cream - And we all know that apart from the God that is Joey D and his Gelato, its always going to be Ben & Jerry's. Luckily for us, they are releasing a few flavours this quarter including this NEW Cinnamon Buns.


I picked up the tub in Tesco where it was priced at £4.49 - Yes, that is blooming expensive but I couldn't not pop it in my basket.. Which I didn't proceed to steal, if any one is interested. Feel free to kick off about the UK 5p plastic bag charge in the comments if you feel the need - We are all friends, here!


I had to eat this fairly pronto after buying hence why it is a tad melted and looks like its been attacked - It sort of was to be fair. The Ice Cream itself was smooth and creamy with nothing in the way of the horrible ice crystals you can often find in a cheaper tub. It had quite a mild taste of Caramel and was pleasantly sweet. Big chunks of Cinnamon Cookie Dough were distributed throughout - They had a good crunch with a sugary grainy texture.. Just like "real" Cookie Dough! The flavour of Cinnamon was spot on in being not to strong or sweet and still wasn't overpowering even with the swirl which had a almost sauce feel to it. The combination of Cinnamon and Caramel went really well together although I am not sure what Caramel doesn't go with, if I am honest!

I am pleased I did fork out the £4.49 for this NEW Cinnamon Buns Ice Cream - I thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful and the spicey flavour got me excited for the up and coming christmas festivities! I wouldnt say it is exactly its Cinnamon Buns name but as a stand alone, it is pretty on point and definitely worth a try.

In other Ben & Jerry's news.. A "Save Our Swirled", Raspberry, Marshmallow & Chocolate flavour  has been released which Mrs 1T has reviewed so go check out her review and leave a nice comment! We are also both keen to see the Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream which is meant to be gracing our shelves in the not to distant future - I am uncertain if the UK is completely ready to commit to the American sensation that is Pumpkin.. I guess only time will tell - Its such a love or hate thing!

Back to today and its a 4 out of 5 from me!

  1. Really want to try this flavour! I picked up save our swirled and pumpkin cheesecake and tried both today and can confirm they are both delicious. Pumpkin cheesecake had a great spiced flavour. Now just to try and find cinnamon buns!
