As we enter our second full season of pumpkin spice on Junk Banter, there will be many limited editions items that are making a return appearance. Since nobody read the blog last year, we may occasionally follow-up on some high interest items. Too bad nobody reads the blog in Year 2 either.
Ben & Jerry’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream
Today’s follow-up is Ben & Jerry’s Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream. I reviewed this last September in the early days of the blog. My review skillz were raw at best – somehow worse than they are today. I gave Ben & Jerry’s Pumpkin Cheesecake a perfect 10 out of 10 – the first time I awarded a perfect score. It has since been bested by but two products in our meaningless Pumpkin Power Rankings.

But perspective is everything. This was the first ice cream I had tackled in our quest to review pumpkin everything. Framing it next to other junk food like pumpkin spice marshmallows and pumpkin flavored dog treats, of course it’s going to blow everything away. Is it possible I got too excited and gave away the 10 prematurely?
I followed up on Instagram last night:
Ben & Jerry’s Pumpkin Cheesecake is an amazing ice cream. It’s terribly hard to find for good reason – it flies off the shelf this time of year. I give it my highest recommendation, but have seen some inconsistency with the swirl density between the three pints I’ve had. The swirl is something special and there could be more of it.
Of course, it’s important to remember that none of this matters and I will probably wake up tomorrow thinking it’s flawless again.
