The Definitive Ranking of Ben & Jerry's Flavors

We've all been faced with the extremely difficult dilemma of standing in front of the freezer and attempting to pick out a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor. Some of the most heated debates among friends and significant others probably involve a back-and-forth over whether to choose Cherry Garcia, Phish Food, or Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or to branch out and try a new flavor that's calling your name. As true ice cream enthusiasts, we at POPSUGAR have a lot of feelings about Ben & Jerry's, so we ranked all of the most popular flavors from worst to best. Not that there's actually a bad Ben & Jerry's pint, but the truth is some are better than others.

20
S'mores

S'mores

S'mores-lovers can agree that Ben & Jerry's S'mores ice cream is unfortunately a bit of a letdown compared to other s'mores-flavored treats. The chocolate ice cream base overpowers the flavors of graham crackers and marshmallows, which we would prefer to be more prominent.

19
Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Chocolate Fudge Brownie

Though Chocolate Fudge Brownie has a cult following, compared to the many other top-notch flavors Ben & Jerry's offers, this one doesn't come out on top. Many reviewers point out that the brownie pieces are too hard and not the easiest to eat.

18
Vanilla

Vanilla

Ben & Jerry's is known for stuffing its pints with gobs and gobs of ice cream toppings, so why opt for plain old Vanilla?

17
Blondie Ambition

Blondie Ambition

Chocolate-lovers won't like this ice cream very much, but any haters should opt for Blondie Ambition, a brown sugar ice cream that's loaded with blondies, butterscotch, and toffee flakes.

16
Chunky Monkey

Chunky Monkey

If bananas are one of your favorite dessert flavors, Chunky Monkey is a solid choice. But if you're not 100 percent into them, stay far away from this intensely banana-y ice cream.

15
Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch

Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch

Out of all the Ben & Jerry's options to choose from, Coffee Toffee Bar Crunch is good, but nowhere near the best. The intensity of the coffee ice cream plus the ultrasweet toffee pieces makes it hard to eat more than a few bites at once.

14
Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz!

Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz!

Talk about a coffee rush! If coffee is your one true love in life, this is most definitely the Ben & Jerry's flavor for you. Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz! is so strong that the exclamation point in the title reflects the results of eating it — you'll be wired from the coffee ice cream and espresso bean fudge chunks.

13
Cherry Garcia

Cherry Garcia

When you can't decide on which Ben & Jerry's flavor to grab from the freezer, Cherry Garcia is always a good idea — that is, if you like cherries. The cherry-flavored ice cream and abundant cherry chunks give a delightfully fruity flavor that's the perfect match for chocolate chunks.

12
Banana Split

Banana Split

Unlike Chunky Monkey, Ben & Jerry's Banana Split has flavors of both banana and strawberry, and thanks to the walnuts, fudge chunks, and fudge swirl, it tastes just like a decadent banana split.

11
Americone Dream

Americone Dream

Americone Dream is damn near perfect. With fudge-swirled vanilla ice cream that's not overwhelmingly crowded with chunks, the fudge-covered waffle cone pieces offer just the right amount of crunch.

10
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

People aren't afraid to express their polarizing opinions about Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. The number one complaint is a lack of cookie dough! You're probably all too familiar with the feat of fishing through a pint of this ice cream in hopes of landing on a chunk of cookie dough and chocolate chips.

09
Cheesecake Brownie

Cheesecake Brownie

If you're a huge fan of cheesecake, there's truly no better ice cream flavor than Ben & Jerry's Cheesecake Brownie, which is cheesecake-flavored ice cream plus plenty of cheesecake brownie chunks.

08
Chocolate Therapy

Chocolate Therapy

In the ranking of superchocolaty ice creams, Chocolate Therapy is way better than Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Chocoholics go nuts for this rich chocolate ice cream, chocolate cookies, and soft swirls of chocolate pudding.

07
The Tonight Dough

The Tonight Dough

The Tonight Dough is the ultimate ice cream for the indecisive: it's got both caramel and chocolate ice creams, plus chocolate cookies, chocolate chip cookie dough, and peanut butter cookie dough. It's a little intense for people who don't love cookie dough, but it's pure heaven for those who do.

06
Half Baked

Half Baked

Half Baked is the ultimate solution when you can't choose between vanilla and chocolate ice cream. It's equal parts chocolate and vanilla with seemingly endless amounts of cookie dough and fudge brownies, and it's one of the flavors we have no problem polishing off a whole pint of in one sitting.

05
Mint Chocolate Cookie

Mint Chocolate Cookie

Though Ben & Jerry's doesn't have a mint chocolate chip flavor, it gets extra points for having Mint Chocolate Cookie. Not artificially minty whatsoever, this peppermint ice cream with soft chocolate sandwich cookies is beyond perfect if you're a true mint-chocolate fanatic.

04
Phish Food

Phish Food

Where would ice cream and wine nights be without Phish Food? A classic that will never go out of style, this chocolate ice cream is as good as it gets. What you might not know, among other Ben & Jerry's fun facts, is that the marshmallow in Phish Food isn't actually marshmallow! It's nougat; real marshmallow doesn't hold up in the ice cream.

03
Chubby Hubby

Chubby Hubby

The definition of salty-sweet heaven is Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby. If you put a pint of this malt vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered pretzels, peanuts, and peanut butter swirls in front of us, there's a 100 percent chance we're not going to share any of it.

02
Peanut Butter Cup

Peanut Butter Cup

There's no question about whether or not Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup belongs toward the top of this list. Unlike the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor, this one seems to be packed with peanut butter cups every single time, so there's no shortage of peanut butter and chocolate bliss in every bite.

01
Milk & Cookies

Milk & Cookies

If freshly baked chocolate chip cookies with ice cream is the ultimate dessert, then Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies is the ultimate ice cream flavor. We have not one complaint about this insanely delicious blend of vanilla ice cream, chocolate cookie swirls, soft chocolate chip cookie chunks, and more chocolate chips. If your late-night Ben & Jerry's runs don't currently include this epic flavor, we suggest you grab a pint (or five) next time, because you'll want to have this stocked in your freezer at all times.
