Introducing sweet, salty, and smooth breast milk-flavored ice cream
What does breast milk flavored ice cream taste like? USA TODAY trend reporter Greta Cross tries limited edition flavors.
A new sweet treat from a familiar company will be hitting your freezer in 2026.
Ben & Jerry’s will launch an ice cream bar in the new year, expected to hit stores in January.
The launch features five flavors of ice cream dipped in a chocolate coating with cookie pieces embedded inside. The sweets won’t be in stores for a few weeks, but you might be able to try the bars at your local Ben & Jerry’s. More than 150 “scoop shops” will be handing out free bars next week.
If you can’t wait for a new ice cream bar, here’s how you can try the flavors for free.
What flavor is Ben & Jerry’s ice cream bar?
There are five flavors sold for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream bars.
- cookie dough
- chocolate fudge brownie
- strawberry cheesecake

Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, and Strawberry Cheesecake flavors are familiar, but PB Pretzel and Caramel Blondie flavors are new.
The bars will be sold in multipacks of four 2.5-ounce bars between $5.99 and $7.49, as well as single $3.99 Cookie Dough ice cream bars that will be available in convenience stores in the spring.
How to try new ice cream bars for free
The company plans to celebrate the new product launch with multiple events and giveaways, including “Droppin’ Birds” on Saturday, December 13th from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM in Venice Beach, California. The company says fans can expect to try new flavors and “music, games, and even a few surprises thrown in…because there’s no party like a Ben & Jerry’s party.”
