Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream

We’ve got a loooong history with dough and kind of started the whole cookie-dough-in-ice-cream trend in 1984 when a fan suggested it to us! Ever since then, we've been dough-sessed! Here’s a quick summary of how this dough-licious flavour rose to power in the ice cream world.
