Cookies and Cream
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cookies and Cream (aka Cookies 'n Cream) is popular flavouring in foods, including ice creams, milkshakes, and confectionery.
It is typically a flavor infused into desserts using crushed chocolate cookies sandwiching a white cream filling. The flavor was revolutionized by the invention of the Oreo cookie, a kind of cookie sandwich with a sweet white cream filling commonly used in milkshakes and other frozen desserts such as Blizzards, pies, etc.
There is some debate as to who first invented and marketed Cookies ‘n Cream ice cream. John Harrison, the official taster for Dreyer’s/Edy’s Ice Cream, claims he invented it first for the company in 1982 [1], [2]. In yet another claim, Blue Bell Creameries claim they first mass-produced the flavor two years earlier in 1980 [3]. South Dakota State University claims the flavor was invented at the university’s Dairy Plant [4].
