What is Cookie Monster ice cream flavor?

Cookie Monster ice cream is a playful blend of vanilla-based ice cream packed with crushed chocolate chip cookies, Oreo pieces, and sometimes even chunks of cookie dough. It’s named after the Sesame Street character because of its bright blue color and its cookie-filled chaos. This isn’t a fancy flavor—it’s fun, creamy, crunchy, and designed to taste like joy.

What does Cookie Monster flavor taste like?

It tastes like childhood in a bowl. The base is usually sweet cream or vanilla, but the mix-ins make it special: soft cookie crumbles, crisp chocolate chunks, and that slight saltiness from the Oreos. I like to add a whisper of almond extract to round out the flavor with a little grown-up depth. But at heart, it’s sweet, creamy, and full of bite-sized surprises in every spoonful.

Why is Cookie Monster ice cream blue?

The blue color doesn’t come from flavor—it comes from fun. Food coloring is added to give the ice cream that iconic Sesame Street hue. It doesn’t change the taste, but it definitely boosts the smile factor. Kids love it, and let’s be honest—grown-ups do too. Just don’t be surprised when your tongue turns blue (and you secretly love it).

What flavor is Afters Cookie Monster?

Afters Ice Cream's version of Cookie Monster ice cream is a cult favorite. Their spin uses a rich blue vanilla base mixed with chocolate sandwich cookies and chunks of cookie dough. It’s over-the-top in the best way. If you’ve ever had it and want to recreate that magic at home—this recipe will get you pretty close, with just enough room to make it your own.
