Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream

Ben & Jerry's is probably one of the best known ice creams in the world, probably second best after Walls in the UK, but it is THE best brand of ice cream out there in my opinion. From their range of exciting flavours (such as Mission to Marzipan, If I Had 1,000,000 Flavours and Fossil Fuel) to their ethics, I love it. I was very lucky as when I was younger I used to work in a restaurant for a few years that used Ben & Jerry's ice cream....and some may have accidently found it's way into my mouth.... Ben & Jerry's was created in 1978 in Vermont, USA by two hippies, Ben Cohen and Jerry ... more

Shock horror - Ben and Jerry's ice cream for sale in Tesco at £2.91? No I wasn't dreaming. Yesterday (29th May) my boyfriend and I ventured in to see what ice cream was available to devour whilst watching my Donnie Darko DVD, and we were pleasantly surprised to see this rather fantastic offer. Having sampled the likes of Caramel Chew Chew, Baked Alaska and Phish Food before, we decided to let go of our inhibitions and opt for something new - Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey. Chunky Monkey is a banana flavoured ice cream with pieces of walnut and dark chocolate banana shapes hidden throughout the ... more

I love Ben and Jerrys, I really love it. If my thighs would allow it I would eat a tub every week but alas this is not to be. Now normally im more of a cookie dough/chocolate brownie type of girl as I don't really like bananas or banana ice cream for that matter. However last week I saw this was on offer for only £2 and I thought what the heck i'll give it a go! So the tub is pretty simply banana ice cream, with chocolate banana shaped pieces and some nice chunky walnuts thrown in for good measure. Now I was worried that the banana flavour would put me off but it is very mild and very creamy ... more

Sorry about the title it's just one of those phrases, I use far too much! I first discovered Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream when ordering a pizza one evening. I asked for my usual favourite Phish Food, but five minutes later I received a call saying they'd run out. What was I to do? Well when the pizza guy said they had an ice-cream called Chunky Monkey, it had to be tried. When it arrived I sat it beside me on the sofa while I ate my pizza, then I had a look at the back, Banana ice-cream with walnuts and chocolate?! hmm, i was a little doubtful it would live up to the splendid Phish ... more

This is THE BEST FLAVOUR of Mr Ben and Mr Jerry in my humble opinion. Previously only available at the cinema in teeny little cups, I finally managed to track it down in Asda. Most of the other supermarkets only stock boring "normal" flavours such as chocolate or vanilla so I was past excitement when I saw Chunky Monkey. This is banana puree ice cream, which smells and looks delicious when you lift the lid off. Immediately visible are slabs of dark chocolate and big pieces of walnut. All this together gives an incredible taste with the smooth ice cream and chunky bits - what a taste sensation ... more
