But no blue dyes.
Cookie Monster ice cream has become a beloved classic, with variations in scoop shops around the country, but we’re pretty sure San Bernardo’s take on this whimsical treat is the best there is! This vibrant blue creamy confection has long captured the imagination—and sweet tooth—of dessert lovers young and old. Named after the beloved blue, cookie-loving character from Sesame Street, the fun flavor is known for it’s bright hue and cookie-packed profile, often combining chocolate chip cookie dough, cookies and cream, and other indulgent mix-ins.
The flavor gained popularity in the 1980s after Baskin-Robbins introduced Cookie Monster as a “Flavor of the Month.” Consumers couldn’t get enough and so it was added to their permanent menu cementing its place as a fan favorite. Over the years, ice cream shops across the country began putting their own spin on the treat, transforming it into a flavor full of fun and nostalgia.
Today, there is nothing more natural than walking into a scoop shop and seeing a child with a bright blue ice cream smile. Well, except for the blue that is. This inviting color is most often anything but natural and is usually achieved with a synthetic blue coloring. In a world where consumers are increasingly turning away from artificial colors and ingredients, a new generation of Cookie Monster ice cream is emerging—one that delivers the same fun without the additives.
Introducing San Bernardo’s newest flavor: Naturally Colored Cookie Monster Ice Cream.
Bursting with rich brownie bites, chocolate cookie wafers, and chunky cookie dough, this creamy treat features a smooth vanilla base colored naturally with algae-derived spirulina. This superfood doesn’t just bring the bold blue you expect—it’s a healthier, more natural option.
At a time when ingredient transparency matters more than ever, San Bernardo’s Cookie Monster is a deliciously satisfying solution: full of fun, free of artificial dyes, and built for cookie lovers of every age.
So go ahead—grab a spoon and indulge in a modern twist on a nostalgic favorite.
