Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream Sandwich arrives in the UK as a new frozen dessert format within the brand’s ice cream portfolio. The product consists of vanilla ice cream containing cookie dough pieces, layered between two soft cookie wafers. The sandwich format presents the brand’s established cookie dough ice cream in a handheld form intended for individual consumption.
The product is sold as a prepackaged frozen item through UK supermarket freezer sections. It uses Ben & Jerry’s standard vanilla ice cream base combined with baked cookie components and visible dough inclusions. Packaging follows the brand’s existing visual system for frozen desserts, with clear product identification and portion sizing. The release adds a sandwich-style format to the UK range without introducing new flavour variants beyond the existing cookie dough profile.
