Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Chocolate Therapy
What You Should Know
Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy is a 16 fl oz pint of premium frozen dessert you'd find in the supermarket's frozen aisle — in the ice cream section near other premium brands like Häagen-Dazs, novelty tubs, and specialty frozen desserts. The colorful pint and playful copy on the label read like an invitation to indulge, and shoppers often grab it for celebrations, movie nights, or a comfort-food run to the store. The brand positions itself as socially conscious and artisanal-meets-fun: Fairtrade sourcing claims, cage-free eggs, and FSC mix packaging appear alongside whimsical flavor names, appealing to millennials and families who value ethics plus indulgence. Label characteristics include health-leaning cues (Fairtrade, cage-free), “natural” language (vanilla extract, honey), and no organic certification; it leans on values and quality rather than diet claims and is clearly marketed as an indulgent treat rather than a health food. Sensory-wise the product promises a rich, velvety chocolate base — dense, creamy texture from cream and milk with intense cocoa notes from alkali-processed cocoa and chocolate liquor; wheat flour and sugar in the ingredient list suggest baked inclusions or textural mix-ins. Packaging is the familiar cardboard pint with a peelable lid; ritual use is spooning straight from the tub at home, sharing a scoop after dinner, or pairing with movies and celebratory moments. Processing context: while made from real dairy, the recipe includes added liquid sugar, emulsifiers, stabilizers, and flavorings — a formulated, shelf-stable frozen dessert combining natural and industrial ingredients.
