This vibrant blue creamy confection has long captured the imagination\u2014and sweet tooth\u2014of dessert lovers young and old. Named after the beloved blue, cookie-loving character from <em>Sesame Street<\/em>, the fun flavor is known for it\u2019s bright hue and cookie-packed profile, often combining chocolate chip cookie dough, cookies and cream, and other indulgent mix-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The flavor gained popularity in the 1980s<\/strong> after<strong> Baskin-Robbins introduced Cookie Monster as a \u201cFlavor of the Month.\u201d&nbsp; <\/strong>Consumers couldn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp; In a world where consumers are increasingly turning away from artificial colors and ingredients, a new generation of Cookie Monster ice cream is emerging\u2014one that delivers the same fun without the additives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>Introducing San Bernardo\u2019s newest flavor: Naturally Colored Cookie Monster Ice Cream.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 <em>spirulina<\/em>.
