Ben & Jerry's Chillin' the Roast Ice Cream

I don't drink coffee. What, then, explains my enfatuation with virtually any type of coffee flavored ice cream? I'm a kook. Thanks be, then, to Ben & Jerry — aka The Vermont Demons and best friends to freezer-makers everywhere — for their brand-new Chillin' the Roast recipe. As captured by their capital letter-happy copywriters, this product is a "Cold Brew Coffee Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookie-Covered Coffee Liqueur Truffles & Fudge Swirls." In terms of addictive powers, I'm pretty sure there's some mocha-Oxy and espresso-meth in there, too. Eat a pint, smile happily, and run to the moon.
