What is ben and Jerry's ice cream made out of?

Answer 1

The founders of the company are Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. They met and become friends in middle school located in Long Island, New York. They moved to Vermont and completed a course in ice creaming from Penn State. For those who don't know where Penn State is it is located in Pennsylvania. Before they were even known, they had seen a lot of the eastern coast and that helped them come up with some of their early designs.

It was 1978 when they opened their first store. They invested only $12,000 and only borrowed four thousand dollars. This is relatively small amount for start up capital. Today, you wouldn't even pay your rent with $16,000, but Ben and Jerry made it happen. They opened their first store in Burlington, Vermont. Here they become well known for their parties. They would sell their ice cream and project movies on the side of a wall of a run-down gas station.

Answer 2

Ben and Jerry's use a variety of ingredients, depending upon the flavour.

Usually the ice cream will include Cream, Skim Milk, liquid sugar, sugar and eggs. There will be many other ingredients, again depending upon what flavour you are asking about.

Their Boston Cream Pie for instances has the following ingredients list:

Cream, Skim Milk, Water, Liquid Sugar (Sugar, Water), Corn Syrup, Sugar, Egg Yolks, Wheat Flour, Eggs, Soybean Oil, Coconut Oil, Butter (Cream, Salt), Cocoa (Processed With Alkali), Natural Flavor, Vanilla Extract, Sodium Bicarbonate, Cocoa, Guar Gum, Salt, Turmeric (Color), Butteroil, Soy Lecithin, Carrageenan.

Some people think Ben & Jerry's is using human breast milk in their product. They are not. This rumour stemmed from a real incident and took a life of it's own. PETA was pressing B&J's to use human breast milk as a substitute for cow's milk. B&J politely said no they would not be doing this.
