That description seems to promise a whole lot of chocolate, and given Ben & Jerry's famous penchant for sticking large chunks of candy, pretzels, brownie and cookie dough into their products, I was expecting some big satisfying pieces of chocolatey Oreo cookies mixed into that delicious-sounding chocolate cookie swirl. But alas, this is a flavor devoid of large chunks of anything.
While the overall flavor of Milk & Cookies is fabulously creamy and tasty, I have to give this flavor 3.5 stars due to my disappointment at the lack of actual cookie pieces. There is a really delicious, somewhat gritty (but pleasing) cookie swirl throughout the pint, and I have to give B&J's credit for coming up with a new take on the Cookies & Cream idea. But as I am starting to figure out, you need to have some big chocolatey chunks of something in a flavor of ice cream to fully please my palette.
I guess I'm going to have to do some additional taste testing to find another brand of Cookies & Cream ice cream that has big chunks of Oreo cookie in order to satisfy my craving for this particular flavor. I'm aware that Ben & Jerry's has a Sweet Cream & Cookies flavor that actually seems to be more like the original Cookies & Cream type of ice cream, complete with actual Oreo Chunks. But while I really want to sample that, it's apparently only available at scoop shops, so I can't stick a pint in my freezer to satisfy my 2 AM Cookies & Cream craving. I'll have to find another brand. Sorry, Ben & Jerry's. Does anyone have any brands to recommend for Cookies & Cream?
