What is chocolate and caramel and cheesecake all over? Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake. Yep, here we have an artery clogging pint of not only caramel cheesecake ice cream, but also swirls of chocolate cookies and actual chunks of cheesecake. Interesting side note, but this flavor was actually released in 2018 as part of the “truffle” line up, featuring several other flavors that included truffles in some way, such as Chocolate Shake it Truffles and Chillin’ the Roast Truffles.

Wanna know the only thing better than caramel?
A legitimately solid mass of caramel. Sweet and Salty. Salty and Sweet. Either way you turn it, it’s a combination that is a classic for a reason. Salty flavors were destined to be paired with sweet ones, and the flavor Gurus at the Ben and Jerry’s factory were thankfully well aware. Before we dive into this pint, I’m going to go down a little rabbit hole for a moment and call this post a review and a half. Why a review and a half? Well, in addition to reviewing the Netflix & Chill'd, I’m momentarily going to veer off to give a brief review of another peanut butter from Ben and Jerry’s as a means of comparison.
I’m pretty sure I get my love for ice cream from my dad. I have very fond memories from childhood of sitting perched on the kitchen counter watching the magical goodness unfold as my dad demonstrated how to concoct a perfect bowl of ice cream. This production usually began with your standard vanilla, and proceeded to be perfected by the addition of whatever candies, sauces, nut butters, cereals, chips, and occasionally even fruits lay within arm’s reach in the kitchen. Sure, there were some additions that went a bit too far (looking at those raisins, Dad), but it was always a (literal) treat to see just what concoction Dad would toss together next. So when browsing the Ben and Jerry’s selection for one I had yet to try, it was only natural that I immediately thought of Dad and our sundaes when I spotted Ben and Jerry’s Chubby Hubby, ‘Vanilla Malt Ice Cream with Peanutty Fudge-Covered Pretzels with Fudge & Peanut Buttery Swirls’.
Boom Chocolatta! Yeah, I have no idea what that means… But, hey, an epic ice cream deserves an epic name, right? As described by the creator’s themselves, this pint is “Mocha and Caramel ice creams with Chocolate Cookies, Fudge Flakes, and a Chocolate Cookie Core”. Needless to say, there is a lot going on in this one, so without further ado, let’s break it down.
