The Best-Selling Walmart Ice Cream Everyone Loves For The Cookie Chunks And Value

From Jeni's to Van Leeuwen to Salt & Straw, there's no shortage of artisanal ice cream brands to sample these days. If you're an ice cream lover, it can be hard to resist trying new, unique flavors like Hazelnut Stracciatella and Apple Cider Donuts. The only downside is the cost: A single pint of artisanal ice cream can cost well over 10 dollars, making it hard to justify. And while these premium brands come with pretty steep price tags, at Walmart, you can get a container of Great Value ice cream for a whole lot less — and fans can't get enough of its best-selling Cookies & Cream flavor. 

Walmart offers its Cookies & Cream flavor in both quart and pint sizes. The quart is just under three dollars, while the pint is just under two dollars. Regardless of which size you pick, shoppers agree that it lives up to its brand name, with one reviewer describing it as a "good buy if you are on a budget." In particular, fans love it for its ratio of cookies-to-ice cream. "It's rich, creamy, and packed with plenty of crunchy chocolate cookie pieces in every scoop," one reviewer wrote. "This is full of Oreo-like cookies!" another shared. "Pretty big pieces too!"

Some even say that it's better than other store-bought Cookies & Cream options, including name brands. "No need to buy the expensive name brand when you have this product," one said. "Definitely [surpasses] my expectations with the creaminess, the amount of cookies, and the size of the cookie pieces." So, if you're looking for high-end flavor on a budget, this cold treat certainly deserves a spot in your freezer.

Reviewers on Walmart's website have been praising the brand's Cookies & Cream ice cream for a while now, and we have to say, we're in total agreement. In our ranking of 15 different Walmart Great Value Ice Cream Flavors, Cookies & Cream came out on top. Our reviewer compared it to a McDonald's Oreo McFlurry, which blends crushed-up Oreo cookie pieces into vanilla soft serve ice cream. However, the ice cream has a slightly smoother texture than a McFlurry, and it's incredibly flavorful, making it a great pick on its own or as the base of a hot fudge sundae.

If you've been looking for Cookies & Cream ice cream to add to your freezer, this is the one. It's so good, some customers are even hesitant to share their positive reviews for it online. "I really don't want to recommend this," one wrote. "If I do, everyone will start buying [it] and I will never be able to buy it again." While that's always a possibility, hopefully you can go stock up on this delicious treat before your local Walmart runs out.
