When Ben and Jerry add lots of odd gimmicks or throw too much into their ice cream blends the results are disasterous. When the pair take a tasty ice cream and delicately add a whimsom flourish they often strike gold. Mission to Marzipan is a perfect example of the latter.

Sweet cream is Ben and Jerry’s very best ice cream flavor. Mission to Marzipan takes that tasty base, adds some surprisingly tasty almond cookies, and voila: a unique, delicious concoction is born.

Tasting somehow like a fraternal twin of rum raisin, another lost but never forgotten ice cream classic, Mission to Marzipan is an underrated winner. Good stuff without the hype, Mission to Marzipan is my boy.
