This is Ben & Jerry’s top place number one ice cream flavor of 2024, so I had to just give this one a try. I’m trying it today on January 7, 2025 and this one comes with variety of flavors. It is chocolate & vanilla ice creams with gobs of chocolate chip cookie dough & fudge brownies. Mixtures of chocolate and vanilla taking effect in a half baked way. Let’s scoop into this top of the charts flavor.

1st Place of 2024

So, wonder why it’s called half baked? Well, it is because the gobs of chocolate chip cookie dough is the dough of the cookie. It is not fully cooked and well-done cookie. Instead, it is soft gooey cookie dough that is dough perfection and provides the cookie dough desire.

Too Much

I found the chocolate chip cookie dough to be way too much and overpowering the flavor. On the other hand, I found the fudge brownies way too little and needs way more. Instead, it should be the other way around as I’m a chocolate guy. On top of that the chocolate flavor ice cream is less than the vanilla. It’s as if the vanilla is 70% while leaving the 30% to the chocolate.

Notes from Back of the container

“Ben & Jerry’s is proud to be partner with fellow B Corps, Greyston & Rhino Bakeries to bring you Half Baked. The incredible stories behind the brownies & cookie dough makes this a flavor that not only tastes good, but does good.” – Ben & Jerry’s

Overall

I enjoyed this flavor but I wouldn’t vote it to be the top as I have other flavors to be on my top. At the same time the chocolate chip cookie doughs started to annoy me because there was too much of it. However, great ice cream as the rest of the Ben & Jerry’s line up of flavors.
