Ben And Jerry's Announces 3 Brand New Core Flavors

We all love Ben and Jerry's for all the good they've done for our planet. They've phased out ingredients with GMOs, they've gotten the Fair Trade USA seal of approval, they're making vegan ice cream now, they support gay marriage, and they've even made a flavor for Bernie Sanders. But let's be real, we really care about the ice cream.

And we clearly care about the Core flavors most of all.

In an announcement on its Snapchat feed Tuesday and Wednesday, Ben & Jerry's launched three more Core flavors: Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Core, Coconuts for Caramel Core and Brownie Batter Core.

Taking off from the success of its earlier run of Core flavors (pints of ice cream with a core made of fudge, caramel, jam, etc.), these new flavors aren't a huge departure from the originals.

The Brownie Batter Core flavor is made with chocolate and vanilla ice cream with fudge brownie bits, and a brownie batter core that our tasters said was "REALLY gooey, almost like hot fudge. The chewy brownies are nice, but there's a whole lot of sweetness going on in here," and "I'm not sure if everyone could handle it."

The Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Core flavor is made with chocolate and cheesecake ice cream with chocolate cookies and a cheesecake core, but our tasters had trouble detecting where the cheesecake was: "Really it was just chocolate and vanilla, with little cake bites. Which is fine, it tasted good, but it sounds like it was a marketing attempt to alter a pretty standard ice cream flavor that falls flat. I'd rather buy a pint of Americone Dream if I'm getting Ben & Jerry's."

We were unable to try out the Caramel Coconut flavor because it wasn't yet ready for previews (but we're sure it's delicious).

Stay tuned for updates on when it'll be available near you.
