Baskin-Robbins should’ve called its Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Ice Cream, March 2025’s Flavor of the Month, Chock-full Chocolate Chip Cheesecake because my single scoop had a copious amount of mini morsels floating in it. It’s like a bag of Nestle Toll House mini chocolate chips double-sneezed on my order.

While the chocolate chips are abundant, there’s a triple threat of cheesecake-flavored components. The flavor features cheesecake ice cream, chocolate cheesecake ice cream, chocolate chips, cheesecake pieces, and cookie crumb swirls.

The white cheesecake base has a pleasant tang and seems to be doing all the heavy lifting regarding the cheesecake flavor. The brown chocolate cheesecake ice cream base has a minuscule level of tanginess, but I’m basing that on what I could taste because there was little of it in my scoop. I tried my darnedest to scrape on a decent amount of the chocolate cheesecake base onto my spoon so I could get a good taste of it, but with what I could get, its cheesecake level paled when compared to the regular base. As for its chocolate flavor, it was lacking, too, but that might’ve been also because of how little I had in my scoop.

Cheesecake pieces are chewy and tangy, but I didn’t notice them at first. Their texture sort of blended in with the softness and creaminess of the bases. Also, they didn’t really enhance the cheesecake taste when I ate it with the regular cheesecake base.

Much like the cheesecake pieces, I didn’t notice the cookie crumb swirls with my first few spoonfuls, but when my tongue hit one, it was hit with a cookie blast. It cut through the tanginess so much that it made my tongue forget it was eating cheesecake-flavored ice cream. But once that faded, the tanginess came back. Eating this scoop was like double-fisting desserts, with cheesecake in one hand and chocolate chip cookies in the other, thanks to the combination of the swirl and crunchy, dark morsels.

Baskin-Robbins’ Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Ice Cream is a delight, thanks to its unexpected cookie twist. It’s far more enticing than its name might lead you to believe.
