If you’ve ever eaten Blue Bell ice cream, you know that the brand doesn’t skimp on mix-ins.  Blue Bell’s Oatmeal Cream Pie Ice Cream is loaded with soft oatmeal cookie pieces that fill up the whole spoon, and its Strawberry Toaster Pastry Ice Cream has all the crunchy and fruity taste of a real Pop-Tart. But with so many flavors in its rotation, the brand has to make some tough decisions about what to keep in stock.

Last year, Blue Bell put the power in customers’ hands and launched The Great Scoop Revival Flavor Tournament. The tournament let fans choose from 16 discontinued, but highly requested flavors, ultimately electing one to return to shelves in summer 2025.

In the end, Groom’s Cake was crowned the winner, and the beloved flavor returned to the freezer aisle last month. Lucky for us, Blue Bell decided that the runner-up ice cream was also worthy of a comeback. Now, the time has finally come: Blue Bell Cookie Cake Ice Cream is back.

Blue Bell Brings Back Cookie Cake Ice Cream for a Limited Time

It’s not hard to see why Cookie Cake Ice Cream is a fan favorite. After all, cookie cakes themselves are top-tier celebratory treats. With regular cake, all the flavor options can make it hard to please a crowd. And while everyone loves ice cream cake, there’s a debate over whether or not actual cake should be involved. But chocolate chip cookie cake—now, that’s something we can all agree on.

Blue Bell Cookie Cake Ice Cream features all the essential elements of a great cookie cake. The base is made with its iconic sweet cream ice cream, complete with generous swirls of chocolate and vanilla icing. Each pint is filled with soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie cake pieces for true-to-its-name taste in every bite.

On Instagram, Blue Bell announced that Cookie Cake Ice Cream officially returned to stores, and the comment section quickly filled with excitement. One fan described the relaunch as “the best news,” while another wrote “My dreams have come true!!!!” “I. Am. So. EXCITED!! All-time favorite right here,” exclaimed another fan.

If you call this flavor your “all-time favorite” too, you should probably head to the store sooner rather than later. “I just went to H-E-B and bought 5 tubs and 10 pints. They really are in stores,” said one excited commenter. “I’m buying 100 of these,” added another.

Blue Bell Cookie Cake Ice Cream will be available in pint and half-gallon sizes, but only for a limited time. You can use the product locator to find which stores in your area carry the comeback flavor, but if you don’t live near a Blue Bell retailer, don’t worry. The creamery ships its products anywhere in the U.S., so you can order all your favorite pints online, including Cookie Cake.

And if you’re feeling adventurous and have an ice cream machine on hand, you can whip up your own version with our 3-ingredient sweet cream ice cream base and a homemade chocolate chip cookie cake customized with all your favorite mix-ins.
