Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream

Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream is a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor composed of vanilla with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and a caramel swirl.

The Fund supports charities of concern to Colbert and The Late Show staff, such as food and medical assistance for disadvantaged children, helping veterans and their families, and environmental causes.

On February 14, 2014, the seventh anniversary of AmeriCone Dream, the flavor was added to the list of Ben and Jerry’s ice creams that are entirely non-genetically modified.

“Simply folding Fairtrade ingredients into Stephen’s flavor provides an opportunity for farmers around the globe to reach their own AmeriCone Dreams of prosperity,” said the company co-founder, Jerry Greenfield.

[21] In September, the company announced a re-design of the packaging, in honor of their “Get The Dough out of Politics” campaign, with a new lid which features "Superpack," referring to the "Colbert Super PAC.

[24] Colbert joined the Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Truck and visited police and fire departments around New York to serve free ice cream.

[25] In 2022, Colbert reported on a "scandal" in which an ice cream with the same flavor profile was being sold under the name "Oh Cone-ada" in Canadian stores.

At the conclusion of the segment, Colbert challenged his fans to buy "Americone Dream," eat it in its entirety, and then mail the empty container to anyone in Canada.

[31] In 2017, Colbert announced on the Late Show that he would pledge $1000 through his AmeriCone Dream Fund for every pubescent celebrity photo Instagrammed or Tweeted under #PuertoRicoRelief or #PuberMe hashtags.
