"From the impressive variety of flavors to the ways in which the company's founders stand up for their beliefs, Ben & Jerry's has proven over and over again that it deserves our entire frozen treat budget. But the brand isn't just committed to social causes; it's also determined to provide the chunkiest, most satisfying-to-eat ice cream out there. And there's a reason many of those chunks have a chocolate fudge coating - it all comes down to texture."
"And No. 7 on that list is the "secret reason" many of its chunks are covered in fudge. "For one, fudge is muy delicioso," the website reads. "For two, a layer of fudge keeps the chunk - like a pretzel or almond - from sucking up the moisture in the ice cream and getting soggy." The fudge layer preserves the crunch from the pretzels or nuts that makes Ben & Jerry's ice cream so iconic and delicious."
Ben & Jerry's emphasizes chunky mix-ins and texture across its flavors, pairing substantial chunks with a chocolate fudge coating. The fudge coating both adds flavor and forms a moisture barrier that prevents pretzels, nuts, and other mix-ins from becoming soggy, preserving crunch. Co-founder Ben Cohen prioritizes sizable chunks, and flagship flavors like Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Phish Food, Half Baked, Chunky Monkey, and New York Super Fudge Chunk showcase chewy and crunchy morsels. New York Super Fudge Chunk contains five different types of chunks to maximize chunkiness and textural contrast.
