Ben & Jerry's Half Baked Ice Cream
Chocolate & vanilla ice creams with fudge brownies & gobs of chocolate chip cookie dough
Ben & Jerry’s is proud to partner with fellow B Corps Greyston & Rhino Bakeries on Half Baked. Both the fudge brownies & cookie dough make this a flavor that not only tastes good, but does good.
At Ben & Jerry's, we take fairness seriously. Whether it's how we treat our employees, give back to our community, or dream up new flavors for our customers, fairness factors into all that we do. That's why we want to make sure that our farmers get a fair deal too. We support Fairtrade, a worldwide movement working to ensure that small-scale farmers in developing nations can make it in the ultra-competitive global marketplace.
Non-GMO
Ben & Jerry's has been proud to stand with the growing consumer movement fighting for transparency and the right to know what’s in our food supply. Over the past several years, we worked hard to support campaigns to win mandatory on-packaging GMO labeling. We were incredibly proud that our own small state of Vermont became the first in the nation to pass and implement mandatory on-pack labeling.
Cage Free
The eggs we buy for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in the United States come from hens on Humane cage-free farms. Humane cage-free standards ensure that laying hens have wholesome, nutritious food, access to clean water, and adequate space to engage in normal behaviors, among other criteria crafted by veterinary professionals.
With a 5 USD correspondence course in ice cream making and a 12,000 USD investment, Ben and Jerry opened their first ice cream scoop shop in 1978 in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont. Although the business has grown and expanded along the way, Ben and Jerry's remains committed to making the best possible ice cream in the best possible way, by sourcing non-GMO and Fairtrade ingredients, eggs from Humane cage-free farms, and milk and cream from family farms. They are founded on and dedicated to a three-part mission that seeks to create linked prosperity for everyone connected to the business--suppliers, employees, farmers, franchisees, customers, and neighbors alike.
A delectable dance of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Vanilla ice cream and chocolate ice cream with chunks of cookie dough and fudge brownies—it’s hard to imagine a better combination. Ben & Jerry's Half Baked—which got its name because the cookie dough isn’t baked, but the brownies are—has been a bestselling flavor since we first decided to combine our classic ice cream creations back in 2000. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, with big chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough surrounded by vanilla ice cream, was created back in 1984 at our very first Scoop Shop after we received an anonymous fan’s flavor suggestion. It continues as a flavor phenomenon to this very day. Chocolate Fudge Brownie is a fan-favorite chocolate extravaganza, mixing chocolate ice cream with ridiculously delicious Greyston Bakery brownies. It’s been satisfying chocolate lovers since 1991. We know it can be hard to choose between those two legendary flavors. With Half Baked, you don’t have to! We work with Fairtrade certified producers for all the cocoa, sugar, and vanilla in our recipes. Greyston Bakery, one of the largest social enterprises in the US, provides the scrumptious brownies for this and all of our frozen dessert flavors. All our ice cream is made with non-GMO sourced ingredients and cage-free eggs. This ice cream pint, like every pint we make, features responsibly sourced packaging.
