How We Build Vermonster Sundaes

Don’t let Vermont’s small size fool you. When it comes to dessert, especially ice cream sundaes, we do not mess around. The Vermonster™ Sundae represents the Holy Grail—a 20-scoop mountain of magic created for you and your friends at participating Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops. 

Our expert Scoopers can build you a full-size or mini version that will set your taste buds free as you explore seemingly endless flavor combinations. If you’re not drooling already, follow along below as we build one for you. Then gather your friends and family and get after it!

Choose your ice cream flavors

20 scoops of ice cream is where this adventure begins. And while 20 different flavors may sound enticing, our scoopers recommend sticking with 4-5 favorites for the best results. Stick with classics or get creative, you can’t go wrong. The hardest part will be agreeing on the flavors with your friends.

Go bananas!

Four whole bananas are what it takes to split this sundae. Our scoopers slice them into wheels, then layer them on top.

Cookie and brownie time!

Next we chop up three cookies and a brownie; then sprinkle that goodness on top. No shortcuts at our Scoop Shops—these cookies and brownies are like homemade and fresh-baked on-site!

Hot fudge or caramel... or both?

Time to drizzle on 4 servings of hot fudge or hot caramel. Can’t decide? Go with 2 of each.

Go nuts!

Ten spoonfuls of chopped walnuts creates that perfect crunch. Don’t worry if you have allergies, our Scoopers always ask first.

Toppings galore...

Whipped cream plus two spoonfuls each of your four favorite toppings seal the deal. M&M’s, rainbow sprinkles, cotton candy pieces…the list goes on. Lighter toppings like sprinkles float nicely atop the whipped cream.

Devour your Vermonster!

Dig in and enjoy your creative genius. Just make sure no friend is left without a spoon.
