Graeter's - Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip

Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip - Vanilla Ice Cream with Cookie Dough Chunks and Chocolate Chips

Shopping around for new flavors, I came across a Graeter's pint which I had not yet tried.  Local grocery stores usually only carry around five or six Graeter's flavors which I already know, but every once and a while I am presently surprised when a flavor which is new to me gets cycled in.  Today's flavor is Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip.  It is different than most cookie dough implementations in that it also has chocolate chips.  Graeter's has amazing and unique chocolate chips, so they like to add them in whenever they can.

After removing the lid, the vanilla base is bright white and many mix-ins are visible right away.  I see a few cookie dough pieces as well as many chocolate chips of various sizes.  Interestingly, there do not appear to be any chocolate chips in the cookie dough.  I guess that makes sense.  Digging in, the vanilla base is soft with a noticeable amount of vanilla.  The chocolate chips are excellent as they are in all of Graeter's Signature Chip line.  The cookie dough pieces are a bit small, but they are doughy and sweet as one would expect.

This is a pretty good implementation of a cookie dough ice cream.  It was fun that Graeter's factored the chocolate out of the dough and into their signature chips.  It is not going to wow a lover of cookie dough, but it works as a fun twist on their popular line of chocolate chip flavors.
