Redditors Say These Are the Best Ben & Jerry's Flavors, and They're Not Wrong
Vermont's Finest
Vermont isn’t known for an abundance of exports, but Ben & Jerry’s might be the biggest. The pun-heavy ice cream company is among our nation’s most beloved (it outsold every single brand in 2022); at Ben and Jerry’s, chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter ice creams constantly find themselves stuffed with things like brownie batter, peanut butter cups, and chocolate chip cookie swirls. As for which flavor is best? There may never be a consensus. There are too many great things coming out of the freezer from those goofy, fun-loving Vermonters to make a full decision. With dozens of threads across Reddit about the best Ben & Jerry's flavor, the debate will continue forever. Here are eight flavors Redditors mention over and over again.

Americone Dream
$4.48 for a pint from Walmart
Featuring vanilla ice cream stuffed with caramel and fudge-covered waffle cone pieces, Americone Dream appears in a ton of Ben and Jerry’s threads. Says one Redditor, “I like the bits of waffle cone in it. It reminds me of the old Nutty Buddy ice cream cones I'd get from the ice cream man as a kid. Just with better ice cream.”

Chunky Monkey
$4.48 for a pint from Walmart
There are things in this world that I just don’t understand. Chunky Monkey is one of them. Banana ice cream isn’t for me. Walnuts aren’t for me. Fudge chunks are OK, but otherwise, this whole thing isn’t for me. This isn’t about me, though, and Reddit is wild about Chunky Monkey, which appears in nearly every thread about Ben & Jerry's best flavors.

Pucker Upper
Pucker Upper was a limited batch, so who knows when Ben and Jerry will release it from the vault, but it was a hit. Featuring a base of raspberry sorbet and swirled with tart lemonade sorbet and sour sugar bits, the sour factor was big here. “It reminds me of frozen lemonade and has less calories than the other stuff,” one user says.
The Tonight Dough
$5.19 for a pint from Target
Ben and Jerry's is known for its collabs, and the flavor paying homage to Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show is one of its biggest. This is for people who love their ice cream chunky. The Tonight Dough starts with caramel and chocolate ice cream and is stuffed with chocolate chip cookie dough and peanut butter cookie dough.
Half Baked
$4.48 for a pint from Walmart
If there's a flavor that the majority of Ben & Jerry’s fans can agree on, it's probably Half Baked. Most people seem to love it. It’s stuffed with all the hits: chocolate and vanilla ice cream, cookie dough, and chocolate fudge brownie pieces. For one Redditor, “Half baked Ben and Jerry’s ice cream is nectar of the gods.”
Cherry Garcia
$4.48 for a pint from Walmart
Fudge chunks, cherry ice cream, and cherry chunks. What else could you possibly need? This is my personal favorite from B&J’s line of ice cream flavors, and another Redditor agrees: “Classic and delightful. Just like Jerry.”
Phish Food
$4.48 for a pint from Walmart
Of all the psychedelic jam band-themed ice creams that Ben & Jerry’s makes, Phish Food has got to be the most popular. There’s nothing to hate about this flavor — it’s chocolate ice cream with marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls, and fudge fish. Those two have a big thing for fudge, don’t they?
Pistachio Pistachio
$5.19 for a pint from Target
When it comes to pistachio ice cream, “Ben and Jerry’s just does it better,” according to one user. Lighter than most other ‘stachio ice creams and stuffed with lightly roasted pistachios, any lover of the delicious green seed (not a nut, actually!) will want to get their hands on this.
