Ben & Jerry’s

BRRR-​ito anyone? Great new idea to put ice cream and toppings in a soft waffle wrapping. It’s a little hard to eat but I love the idea of choice to create your own tasty mater piece. You get a choice of ice cream flavour and addition toppings such as sauces, Oreo crumble etc! I may still go for the conventional way to buy and eat ice cream, but love the idea!

It feels increasingly hard to find ice cream shops in Sydney. Two years ago I came home from a seven week working holiday overseas to find five (!) frozen yoghurt places had opened in my neighbourhood. And you can’t walk five metres without tripping over gelato. Today after lunch near Chinatown all I wanted was honest-​to-​goodness old school ice cream. And then I remembered seeing the sign for Ben & Jerry’s at the Broadway cinema and hot-​footed it over there. It was very quiet and the guy manning the store was happy to chat and offer me samples. I opted for the hot fudge sundae, because I deserved it. At $ 8.40 it’s not exactly cheap but holy smokes: I recommend having a mate with you because unless you really really have an ice cream imperative (and an empty stomach, and low blood sugar) you won’t be able to get through it alone. Hot fudge is another thing that feels like a dying breed, so if you’re like me and love your hot fudge put this place on your list and say hello to diabetes.

Ordered a milkshake here and it was absolutely disgusting. Just milk with ice cream blended to a watery texture. No ice, not thick at all. I might as well just be drinking milk. Yucks.
I’m not sure if this is Australian milk shake but thanks to this, I’m completely put off by milkshakes :(

Yay! Ben & Jerry’s has finally come Down under. After travelling 20 Km’s to enjoy ice cream at their only Manly centre its good news to find it in the City. They have partnered with Hoyts Cinemas and now available at Broadway Shopping centre.
At Ben & Jerry’s the ice creams have big chunks of fruits, nuts or chocolates. I love Chunky Monkey, Triple Caramel Chunk, Strwaberry cheesecake and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. What’s your favourite?
Most of their ice creams are available in Pints and minis too, to carry home.
With names like Phish Food and half Baked, I wonder what crazy ingredients are mixed in their ice-​cream. From trying their other flavours, I can safely assume, it won’t matter as it all tastes good!
