Everyone's favourite, Ben & Jerry's, have named their new ice cream in honour of the comedian Stephen Colbert.
Its name - Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream - does not give any clues to its flavour. However, I can tell you that it's vanilla ice cream, fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel. Previously Ben & Jerry have named ice cream after Jerry Garcia (Cherry Garcia - cherry ice cream with dark chocolate chunks), Wavy Gravy and the band Phish.
Launching the new ice cream Ben & Jerry's said that it was "The sweet taste of liberty in your mouth."
