We tried the Ben & Jerry's Cookbook

- The Ben & Jerry's cookbook was one of the first cookbooks I ever bought! I actually got it from Vermont at their Head Office whilst I still lived at home with my family so it's actually older than Chloe who helps me in this video. It's a great book and i'd definitely recommend it. There's a lot of awesome recipes from the Vermonster, New York Superfudge Chunk to Rolo ice cream, then some quirky stuff like beer sorbet! We opted for homemade Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream, complete with homemade cookie dough, it took a bit of time to make it, but the ice cream machine does all the hard work! Hope you enjoy our attempt, the taste comparison was scarily accurate!

The taste comparison between the two was pretty much identical, the next day once it had a good set in the freezer overnight the consistency was perfect! This recipe really caught us by surprise and I love that you can play around with the chunks of cookie dough sizes! I've typed up an adapted version of the recipe here barrylewis.net/recipe/ben-jerrys-cookie-dough-ice-cream-recipe/ and if you fancy getting the book it's here amongst other places amzn.to/3b2EUzJ Good luck if you try it, a really fun project!
I made this a couple of years ago the recipe and the taste is incredible isn’t it, thanks for the video 😊
A couple of things to note, if you are using eggs, you can buy/ make pasturised eggs which are safer for eating raw. Also you should toast the flour first to kill any bacteria in it (heat it in the oven spread over a baking tray at 160C).
Pro tip: put wax paper on top if your ice cream to prevent ice crystals 🔮 from forming 🧊
I worked for them and they are a great company, you should try the non-dairy ones, spot on and yes lactose intolerant working with dairy products is torture 😅
Ben has a condition called anosmia. It's where you can't taste or smell things. Some folks are born with it, some folks develop it from injuries or illnesses, and it actually became more of an issue around C*vid time as a symptom. My mom, however, has it from cancer crushing her olfactory nerve.
Hey Barry you really need to market the first 'Choose your own adventure' - cooking edition book 👍 that would be awesome start with one idea end with something completely different but using the same ingredients 👍
I was just going to post the same thing! I would definitely buy it over here in the US.
Can’t wait for Chloe to have her own channel. Such a funny girl… quick witted, naturally funny.
I know right
Bazza, you can get pasturised eggs, or even pasturise them yourself. Heat some water to 60°C and add your eggs. Maintain the 60°C for 3 1/2 mins. Then take the eggs out and allow to cool. As long as the temperature stays at or below 60°C the eggs won't cook, but any bacteria will die.
However in the UK, any eggs with the British Lion stamp on them can safely be eaten runny or raw. Even vulnerable people are safe to eat them now according to the UK Food Standards Agency.
I pasteurise my eggs in a sous vide bath.
I would also buy it here in Minden, Ontario Canada, barry you & the family are super amazing I've been following you for over 2 years now & never seem to grow tired of your videos I try to catch each video as you post them but don't always make it in time as we're 5 hours in time difference,
I did not know this!! Thankyou!!
Her “why thank you” 😂 My son (7) has the exact same since of humor and he keeps me on my toes!
Barry: "I don't feel like killing you today"
Chloe: "oh thank you"
True love
It's a choose your own adventure book. By jov, I had a childhood throwback.
Ah yes that's them!
Raw eggs are actually generally safer than raw flour. Flour isn’t required to be treated to prevent bacteria.
I wonder if that's because different countries have different standards for eggs. Like, almost every time I hear someone finding raw eggs suprising they are either American or British, but on the other hand in Europe and Asia many countries have dishes with raw eggs in them.
Safer to bake the raw flour before combining to bake edible cookie dough. It's my understanding you're much more likely to get e.coli from raw flour than raw egg but that's in the US so ymmv
There was a time in the U.S. where you could get pasteurized eggs in the shell. Unfortunately the company Post Holdings. that bought them out temporarily shut down production and by the time they restarted it made it very difficult to get them back on shelves is none of the stores wanted them despite the usual uptick in sales during the winter holiday seasons. I think this book was originally published in the early 80s and people in America at that time didn't really have fear of raw eggs that they do today.
@@ScarfmonsterWR there used to be old recipes that included raw eggs because salmonella and e.coli weren't as widespread as they are today, at least not when people had chicken coops in their back yards. Nowadays everyone is more aware of the dangers of raw eggs. But raw flour is just as dangerous. You can cook the flour first and then make the cookie dough to make it safer
Yeah, I would totally eat raw eggs (we do in France in quite a few recipes such as sabayon, snow egg or ‘œuf à la neige’… etc). Flour, not so much (although I do lick the bowl before baking). 🤷🏻♀️
I've had that cook book for years! I love to make the bases and get creative with the additions. Like walnut, coconut and milk chocolate chip! Mmmmmm!
"I don't feel like killing you today"
"... oh, thank you"
I love you two 😂
:)
I was in Vermont years ago and by the time I was back in Massachusetts, two days before flying back to Scotland, someone told me the B&J factory was like an hours drive away from where we were… Broke my heart !
It's a cool place, i'd imagine they may have added more stuff to it now and a sign for the electric fence!
Love cookbook corner idea! Would be awesome to create like an online swap shop of cookbooks for followers!
Yeah i'll have a think along those lines if there's a way we can all get involved, perhaps even a cookalong livestream
Your daughter Chloe is natural and funny like you. I love watching your videos when you include her ❤️
Thansk Barry for giving me some videos to watch while I’m sick as it’s been a long day of throwing up thanks for the entertainment
Sorry to hear that, get well soon
Chloe is a improved Barry ahahahaha, honestly amazes me how funny she is, great parenting I'd say
Your daughter is absolutely adorable 🥰 She did a wonderful job
Now that you've made the cookie dough ice cream, you need to try making the Fudge Brownie ice cream with brownie chunks in there. 😁
Good call!
Chloe is a doll. Better watch out Barry, she'll be having her own channel soon!❤
For Ben and Jerry's it's ALLLLL about the 'One Love' Bob Marley special flavour! OMG I need some!
I am from the United States and I have been watching your videos for a while. Your videos are great when you have your girls and your wife with you. keep up the good work.
I am from Rhode Island and my family and I used to go to Vermont every year to visit friends when I was younger! One year we visited the factory and it was awesome!
Aw man the humour today was on point, I adore the energy between you and Chloe, these videos never fail to make me smile no matter how down I'm feeling, _and they really do make me want to do more kitchen stuff_ ;P
You should try to find a copy of the Australian Womens Weekly birthday cake book, that thing is iconic
2:26 I want someone to look at me the way Chloe looks at a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. 😆😍
(also that’s the same way *I* look at ice cream haha!)
You too crack me up. “I don’t feel like killing you today!……” “Oh thank you”. Chloe is the best x
For an edible raw cookie dough without any risk of food poisoning and stomach pains you can bake the flour on it's own on 180 C for about 20 minutes.
Thanks so much, great idea
Yeah that's what I always do when I wanna make cookie dough.
@@mrbarrylewis alternatively you could stick it in the microwave until it hits I believe 165 F but I don't remember exactly. It has less of a chance of toasting in the microwave.
British eggs are relatively safe eaten raw. They appear in cocktails and other foods. It's because of American culture that everyone is scared. That's also why their eggs are bright white.
Good call. I came here to say that the raw flour is just as bad if not worse than the eggs.
Currently ill with COVID, but I've been having an absolute barathon. Thanks for making it bearable and keeping me sane(:
Cookie dough is my favorite! Planning to do the Salt&Straw recipe, gonna have to try this one too!
Awesome recipe, and a wonderful assistant!
Cheers Chris
Perfectly fitting for this hot season!
As a Harry Potter nerd I appreciate your Headwhisk pun 😂
At last! Cookie dough ice is my favourite. Yum!
So wholesome. Family goals right there.
Condensed milk is a base ingredient if you want to make no-churn ice cream. Whip double cream, mix in can of condensed milk, add genuine vanilla extract or a liqueur (because the alcohol is important to stop ice crystals forming), add flavour/chunks/pieces, freeze.
The strawberry sorbet recipe in that book is excellent as well. Worth a try.
I've used this cookbook many times and made the cookie dough ice cream before. Such a good recipe and great videos!
I have that same cookbook!!! New York super fudge chuck is my favorite flavor. It's really rich. Sooooo yummy!💗
OMG! Chloe is a hoot!!
Discovery Plus has a fun cooking competition called "Ben and Jerry's Clash if the Cones" and they talk about how Ben and Jerry's icecream is made. I think that they actually bake the cookies and then add them to the icecream. By the time it gets to the customer, the moisture in the icecream softens the cookies to a dough-like texture.
Home made Benjamin and Gerald's? That's awesome.
I love all your videos! I especially like how you involve your family.
the issue with many US foods is the preservatives they add to it for shelf life, where we in the UK dont use as much or as many because we have less travel time and less hot weather, but the after eight mint one sounds nice...
Yeah might have to try that one and the beer sorbet!
@@mrbarrylewis one idea i did have a long time ago when i was in college was making chinese cashew nut fried rice flavor icecream, sounds odd but i loved fried rice back then, anything with it, chicken, pork, pistachio nuts, winkles, cockles, cheap fried rice and just add anything to it, raw pea's, raw shredded carrot, salami slices... cant do anything like that these days the wife would have me committed.
Ben and Jerry’s doesn’t use preservatives its actually bc we wash our eggs
I still own choose you own adventure books from my child hood.....I'm now 51....lol....Chloe is just perfect with the funny lines......she is a true sweetie !!
Chloe, you're the best. I paused the video so many times laughing at your responses...Oh thank you
It's finally here!!!! Ben and Jerry's cookbook!
I was a subscriber years ago but your name popped into my head and here I am. Subscriber again.
I’m not a cookie dough fan but this was so cool to watch. Chloe is sooo funny! Quick witted. 😂
Thanks a bunch, yeah she's very fast, absolutely bonkers sometimes at the dinner table, makes me laugh a lot!
Who else just randomly started watching this channel and now it’s just an every day thing?
Ive been losing weight for the past three weeks, so ive been thinking about things to break my semi-fasting period with as a reward.
Making my own phish food ice cream is on the list, so ill probably have to come back to this video in a few weeks and give it a go :D
Heya Barry absolutely love your vids! I’m only like 4 minutes in so sorry if you address this later in the video but just wanted to let you know. At least in the UK is completely safe to use raw chicken egg because they all have the red lion stamp of approval which basically means theirs only a 0.000000001% chance you’d actually get food poisoning from it.
Alternatively you could even just use pasteurised egg so then you’re fully fine
Chloe is a natural on the camera!! She's so funny!!
That’s wild! I can’t get over all the eggs!
It looks delicious
Classic duo, you and Chloe make a perfect team!
Chunky Monkey is my favourite one of Ben & Jerry’s
Cool book!
you can throw throw the flour into the micrwave to cook it dry if u want
Amazing idea
Ooo maybe you could make more unusual cookie dough like triple chocolate or smarties and do cookie dough ice cream twists
And now I want Ben and Jerrys. Got my carer to check my freezer and we found some. Yay, now watching this whilst eating vegan Ben and jerrys chocolate fudge brownie
On mate! I have that book I bought back in 2003 or something ...but I had no ice cream maker...d'oh!
I luv my Cuisinart Ice cream maker!!!!
Raw eggs were a bigger risk years ago. But now it’s not so much of an issue with today’s eggs as long as they’re pasteurised.
I always use raw eggs in my tiramisu and I’ve never had any problems.
But if you’re feeding your kids and family and you don’t feel comfortable, then I understand.
It’s Lion Quality eggs that’s the reason they’re safe in the UK. It’s what bodybuilders drink.
In the US we have a company called Davis and safest Choice pasteurized eggs but very few retailers carry them after they got bought out by another company that happens to own Bob Evans.
Nice vid you shouldn't be scared of British eggs tho I eat them raw all the time in my protein mic
Oh right thanks, yeah that seemed to be the general feedback with the UK eggs
@@mrbarrylewis Well, for the next few years, until we're forced to get American bleached eggs.
@@mrbarrylewis look up what Lion Quality means
Yeah UK eggs are fine because we don’t wash them, in the us they wash the egg which destroys the shells ability to keep out nasty things… seems most of the people here worried about eggs and flour are from outside the UK never had an issue with flour or eggs in the uk (I believe the main problem with four is if it’s grown in contaminated water, which in the uk is unlikely).
A Fan Of Chloe Should Show Her More Making Stuff
Barry, u need to get Chole an agent. This child is so talented she needs her own channel.
I have a recipe for cookie dough candy it has no eggs for the same reason but it did not want baking soda I left it out now the first batch and the cookie dough was missing something, the baking soda it gives it a little bit of a bite so I'm glad you put it in or you will definitely miss it
It’s actually more unsafe to eat raw flour than raw eggs. There isn’t a risk of salmonella in eggs most other places unlike the US. The reason US eggs aren’t safe to eat raw is because we wash our eggs. They have to be refrigerated if the membrane is washed off and that’s what causes salmonella
Fun Denmark fact. In Denmark Ben & Jerry's is one of the most expensive, none luxury ice creams in our market. So trying to make it yourself is well worth it.
Plus not supporting ben and jerry themselves is a plus. With what terrible people they are.
@@ge2719 How so? Never heard bad things, only good stuff.
@@domosuperlomo things like them historically treating migrant dairy farm workers poorly, while also pretending to be good people by complaining about the uk actually protecting its borders from illegal immigration.
Typical liars who pretend to care about "social justice", spread misinformation about situations to cause division, like spreading crazy "white supremacy" conspiracy theories, and try to make them appear like good people while vilifying others. just typical rich people who lecture everyone else. not the sort of people I want to financially support by buying their overpriced product.
@@ge2719 please explain how they’re a horrible company unless you hate equality
@@Thatonehanna you blind or something?
your wee lass is genius .
I’m eating some rn!
Condensed milk and cream ice cream is luscious and I have made various different flavours by adding fizzy drinks as flavouring such as vimto
This looks ace and I think I'm going to try and get hold of a copy of the book. My OH might even eat it! He's really picky, even on thingsl ike ice cream. I made a strawberry and rose ice cream a few years ago, but he said it tasted too strong and too rosy. I didn't put that much rose water in but I did also use the strawberries and cream version of a certain Irish Cream liqueur that came out that year.
Genuine question - maybe I’m being dim.. Why is it okay to use raw egg in mayo, but not here? Or ice cream for that matter?
Edit : okay, wait for video before posting.. I still don’t get it though
Pasturizing is heating the food up to beyond the survivable temp of the bacteria.
So if eggs are pasturized properly there will be no salmonella in them. So you can eat them raw.
You should try condensed milk ice cream. Its super simple. Ive done condensed milk, cream and nutella as an ice cream. U could try biscoff too i guess..
Eggs in Norway are considered safe to eat raw, which is good, since the good part about baking cakes/cupcakes or similar is licking the bowl 😋
I do wonder if using vanilla beans (like the real vanilla stalk thing) would make a differance in flavour? 🤔
Germany too, could never imagine not to like the bowl or the spoon
@@DunkleNacht15 And in the UK too, raw eggs are fine to eat, one of the only well known places in the world raw eggs aren't safe to eat is the USA but, because their TV shows are so common in the UK the entire "you can't eat raw eggs" thing is now believed in the UK too.
@@ChuckFickens1972 okey, that's interesting.... Yeah USA is a special thing, washing eggs with bleach or other stuff.... Juste no....
Alternative too raw egg would be the liquid from a tin of chickpeas apparently you can make meringue too
I have that recipe book and I've made that ice cream using it. 😋
I used the condensed milk recipe though.
Chloe so cute
Barry, mate, you need a Ninja Creami and make some fun ice creams and sorbets easily with the kids ! That ice cream maker you have is old school.
My grandpa had a rental property with an electric fence alongside it, and the renter worried her kids might touch it. Pappaw didn't skip a beat - he just said, "Don't worry, they'll only do it once!"
Barry: if you have a sous vide device, you can pasteurize your own eggs and then it's totally safe to eat raw in cookie dough and such! (Also, you can get food poisoning from raw flour as well, more common than you might think, so technically if you are concerned about that you should probably toast the flour slightly in the oven first. Doesn't really affect the flavor, but kills anything in it).
Also, I'm not sure why that recipe has walnuts in it, as the actual cookie dough they use doesn't have it. You can buy the chunks separately (in the US at least) and it's both great and nut-free.
Raw flour and eggs! Your a brave man!
Bought that cookbook circa 2002. Have made chocolate chip cookie a brunch of times. It's a weakness!!!
Looks really lovely!!
You can always cook/pasteurize your flour too, if you're worried. It's like twenty minutes in a low oven and it makes your raw cookie dough completely safe.
Is there a recipe for the Cherry Garcia ice cream. I’m gutted they have stopped selling it in tubs in the UK!
Post notification gang
@Barry Lewis, Chloe is absolutely the cutest she is so freaking sweet ❤
Ben and Jerry sold the company.
You COULD soft boil the egg, crack it open and just use the yolk, which is honestly the bit that you want for the ice cream. Only now, the yolk is partially cooked, and food safe, even for (otherwise healthy) children, the elderly, and pregnant women. At least, if I understand the guidelines of the British FSA properly. Mind you, this only applies to eggs with the British mark indicating the farmers adhere to the British Lion Code of Practice. Here in America, it's more of a leap of faith, since we treat our eggs differently between the hen's bum and the kitchen table.
The husband and I were just in Vermont a few weeks ago for an event and our Airbnb was about 3 minutes away from the Ben & Jerry’s factory. To my dismay, I found out they still haven’t resumed tours since Covid. ☹️😩
I live in Vermont, and can't get New York Super Fudge Chunk either!
Just 😋
In the US I would say the flour is more a risk than the egg. A good alternative to raw egg is those egg beater egg in a carton things. Flour I think you can heat a low temperature for an extended time and it should then be safe. Think 200F (some one translate that for me to C) for at least 10-15 minutes.
It´s about time Chloe got on the show
Chloe is as cute as a button and smart as a whip
First to comment!
Yes!
Hey Barry.
I love your videos.
Make the Beer Flavored ice cream in the Ben & Jerry’s cookbook. Been a few years but was pretty good.
Been eating raw eggs since the 1970s. Either as a quick protein boost or in my milkshakes.
When you make mayonnaise, you eat the egg raw too, it's all about the right way of handling it
