We’ve been a little behind on reviewing the new Core series from Ben & Jerry’s only because we’ve been busy trying tons of new and interesting ice creams from other companies across the country. Earlier this week though, we were able to pick up a pint of That’s My Jam: chocolate & raspberry ice creams with fudge chips & a raspberry core. The first layer looks normal enough, but the surge of raspberry sauce creeping up and out of the center gives plenty hint at what lies beneath.
For the sake of science, we decided to sacrifice our carton to provide this crazy cross sectional shot. Ben & Jerry’s chocolate base is simple, sweet, and well-balanced. The raspberry ice cream immediately reminded of us the black raspberry ice cream in on of our favorite retired flavors, the limited batch Dave Matthews Band Magic Brownies. While the chocolate chips added a little texture, the raspberry core was quite literally the center of attention. Zigzagging from top to bottom, the thick sauce was reminiscent of the jelly you'd smear on toast. Perhaps with some brownies, this could have achieved A status, but without any additional mix-ins, a B was all That’s My Jam could muster.
