Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (16 fl oz) sits in the supermarket's frozen desserts aisle behind glass freezer doors, alongside other premium pint ice creams, novelty bars, and artisan frozen yogurts. You’ll spot it near other indulgent flavors from Ben & Jerry’s and competitor premium brands, often at eye level in a colorful paperboard pint with a bright plastic lid. It’s the kind of item shoppers grab for movie nights, casual celebrations, warm-weather cravings, or to round out a weeknight dessert. The brand positions itself as premium and cause-driven — Vermont roots, playful flavor names, and Fairtrade and non-GMO claims appeal to socially conscious, middle-income consumers and younger adults who prize taste and ethics. The label leans on health-adjacent language (“Vermont finest,” cage-free eggs, Fairtrade cocoa and sugar) without organic certification; packaging emphasizes natural-sounding ingredients and ethical sourcing rather than low-calorie or “diet” messaging. In plain terms, this is a processed frozen dairy dessert: pasteurized creams and milks are blended with sweeteners, stabilizers (guar gum, carrageenan), emulsifiers (soy lecithin) and flavorings, then frozen with mix-ins. Sensory experience is rich and creamy, with a dense, scoopable texture, chewy cookie-dough chunks and chocolate bits providing contrast; sugar gives a quick sweet hit and milkfat delivers a silky mouthfeel. Typical ritual: pull a pint from the freezer, let soften briefly on the counter, scoop into bowls for sharing or spoon straight from the container at the end of a long day. Nutrition cues (about 380 kcal and 34 g sugar per serving) underline its role as an occasional indulgence rather than an everyday staple.
