Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Molly Yeh, BEN & JERRY'S: CLASH OF THE CONES is a four-episode competition series that features six ice cream masters from across the country have been hand-picked for a once in a lifetime opportunity: to create an original Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor of their own. Molly challenges the ice cream makers to capture the essence of a celebrity or pop culture icon in a new and innovative ice cream flavor, inspired by the direction given from the celebrity themselves. In each episode, the competitors use a specially constructed ice cream lab on the Ben & Jerry's factory grounds in Waterbury, Vermont. After concocting their creations, the competitors hit the streets to have the public vote their favorite flavor, with the winner earning immunity from elimination. Judges Jet and Ali Tila and Ben & Jerry's Flavor Guru Chris Rivard determine which competitor was the least successful, sending that ice cream maker home and that flavor to the infamous Ben & Jerry's Flavor Graveyard. The ice cream makers compete for a chance to impress Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield for the grand prize of $20,000 -- the exact amount Ben and Jerry hoped to make in their first year of business. The winner also has the opportunity to have their flavor sampled by fans at an event in their hometown. Celebrity inspirations include hip-hop icon and actor Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Food Network's Duff Goldman and Buddy Valastro, and actor Kevin Bacon.

In the 90-minute series opener, "Six Flavors of Kevin Bacon," actor and musician Kevin Bacon challenges the competitors to make a flavor in his name that incorporates up to six different ingredients, and judges Jet and Ali Tila decide which maker's flavor gets buried.

Other episodes feature the ice cream makers creating flavors after Ludacris' favorite desserts, along with making classic ice cream sandwich cookies from scratch. And see what happens when the competitors base their ice cream flavors on Food Network stars Buddy and Duff. In the finale, the final three ice cream masters meet the legends, as Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield reveal their final challenge. All the competitors need to do is follow the Ben & Jerry's way: Be creative. Have fun. Make great ice cream.
