Our Top 10 Smooth Flavors, Ranked

July 20, 2016

At Ben & Jerry’s, we love chunks—the bigger the better. Way, way back, it was Ben who suggested packing our pints with chunks. Because of his anosmia, he couldn’t smell or taste the flavors very well, but he loved texture, and chunks make for some excellent texture.

But what if chunky is not what you’re looking for? Well, remember, it’s a big, beautiful world full of untold delights. And that’s why, today, we’re celebrating the smooth. Ah, sweet chunkless love: there’s beauty in the purely creamy too.

Get ready, because here’s the definitive ranking of the best smooth flavors we have to offer:

  1. Strawberry Cheesecake

    Strawberry Cheesecake regularly ranks among our top-10 most popular flavors, and it’s easy to taste why. All those strawberries, all that creamy cheesecake ice cream, and that irresistible graham-cracker swirl! A dessert dream that also happens to be delectably real.

  2. Vanilla Caramel Fudge

    For a chunk-free delight that still packs all the fudgy, caramelicious flavor you’re wanting, needing, praying for, and fantasizing about, try Vanilla Caramel Fudge. A word of caution, however: there are SO MANY SWIRLS, so give yourself time to enjoy them all.

  3. A Swirled of Difference

    Euphoria arrives in a multitude of flavor combinations, but something about A Swirled of Difference just feels more perfect every time we dig into it. Peanut butter ice cream, a peanut butter swirl, AND a raspberry swirl? It’s hard to say exactly what’s happening here, but we never want it to stop—and neither will you.

  4. Cake Batter

    Everybody loves cake. But remember sneaking a taste of the batter when you were a kid? So, so delicious. Well, we have a pint for that. Relive those stolen moments with Cake Batter, and then start making new memories with all those swirls of rich chocolate frosting

  5. Tubby Hubby

    Tubby Hubby is one of our Flavor Flips: the fudgy pretzel chunks you love in Chubby Hubby have been transformed into smooth pretzel and fudge swirls—and it’s amazing. But it’s also only here for a limited time, so you might want to race to your Scoop Shop right now. 

  6. Chocolate Peanut Buttery Swirl

    You deserve it, so treat yourself. Go on down to your local Scoop Shop for some Chocolate Peanut Buttery Swirl when you’re craving creamy milk chocolate ice cream and a thick peanut butter swirl. Makes you smile just thinking about it, doesn’t it?

  7. Cotton Candy

    There’s nothing like a little childhood nostalgia to bring a smile to your face. Remember the carousels? The carnival games? It’ll all come back as the smooth wonder of Cotton Candy melts in your mouth.

  8. Peanut Butter World

    At a certain point, everyone has to ask themselves, “How much do you love peanut butter and chocolate?” A little? A lot? Or do the words “peanut buttery swirls and chocolate cookie swirls” make you feel light-headed? Then Peanut Butter World is for you.   

  9. Pumpkin Cheesecake (seasonal)

    Just like those glorious autumn days, hillsides glowing red and orange and yellow, our Pumpkin Cheesecake only shows up for a limited time each year. All the better, then, to savor its velvety, pumpkiny, cheesecakey goodness while it’s here.

  10. Blueberry Vanilla Graham Greek Frozen Yogurt

    Sometimes it’s not ice cream you’re craving, but the deep creaminess of Greek-style froyo. And sometimes you need froyo with blueberry yogurt and a graham-cracker swirl. And sometimes you need Blueberry Vanilla Graham Greek Frozen Yogurt right now.
