Ben and Jerry’s Is Now Serving Ice Cream Bagels

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
It’s only available in London, but Ice Ice Bagel is already making headlines. The new cross-breed of carbs and dairy is available at Ben & Jerry’s in Soho, London.
When Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield first decided they wanted to go into business together, they had their hearts set on infiltrating the bagel business. Though that never became a reality, as their first ice cream store opened its doors in 1978, now, 40 years later, “we are raising a spoon to what might have been,” the company wrote on its site.
There are two flavors, from the Birthday Bagel, consisting of vanilla cake batter ice cream complete with bits of cake batter and pink frosting, to the Holey Cara-moley, consisting of caramel ice cream smothered in caramel sauce with double chocolate brownie-flavored ice cream. Ice cream bagel breakfast, anyone?
Always pushing the envelope, Ben & Jerry!
