Ben & Jerry's - Milk & Cookies

Milk & Cookies - Vanilla Ice Cream with a Chocolate Cookie Swirl, Chocolate Chip & Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Its back to the basics for this ice cream review as Milk & Cookies is basically Ben & Jerry's version of "cookies and cream" which is carried by many other brands.  Taking the lid off the pint you see exactly what you expect.  A vanilla base with black cookie chunks visible on top.  Digging into the pint, you quickly notice that these are not oreo cookies (or even imitation chocolate sandwich cookies), these are a mixture of regular chocolate chip and chocolate chocolate chip cookies.  The flavor and texture of the regular cookies are what makes this different from other implementations cookies and cream.  Don't worry, there is still plenty of chocolate in the mix, but the non-chocolate cookies add quite a bit to the flavor.  At times it reminded me eating a Nestle's chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich.  The cookies pieces are plentiful, but individually they are fairly small.  As the pint slowly melted they did a pretty good job of soaking up the liquid parts of the ice cream.  That made me think that "Milk & Cookies" was more than just a play on words.

All in all, a successful pint.  This is not the most adventuresome of flavor mixes, but if are in the mood for a classic pint of cookies and cream (with a slight twist) then you can't go wrong with this.
