The Real Flavor: Moonbeam Ice Cream Cookie

Benson Boone’s actual Crumbl collaboration wasn’t a sugar cookie — it was a chilled chocolate cookie built around a lyric from his song “Mystical Magical” (“Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans”), released nationwide June 23–28, 2025, then brought back for an encore week from June 30–July 5.

Flavor Profile

Component	Description
Base cookie	Rich, chilled chocolate cookie studded with cookies-and-cream pieces
Topping	Tie-dye swirl of lemon, berry, and marshmallow buttercream
Finish	White chocolate drizzle, extra cookies-and-cream crumbs on top
Serving style	Served chilled, not warm — distinct from most of Crumbl’s regular lineup

Reviewers who tried it during the original release described it as a fudgy, citrus-infused, marshmallow delight — an unusual combination rather than a straightforwardly sweet flavor, with the lemon and berry notes cutting through the richness of the chocolate base rather than just adding sweetness on top.

Texture

The chilled serving style is the most distinctive part of the texture profile — rather than the soft, warm center most Crumbl cookies are known for, this one is meant to be eaten cold, giving the chocolate base a denser, fudgier bite, with the cookies-and-cream pieces adding crunch and the buttercream swirl staying soft and creamy on top.

How It Compares to Other Crumbl Flavors

Cookie Flavor	Taste	Texture	Similarity to Moonbeam
Birthday Cake	Sweet, sprinkles, frosting swirl	Dense, cake-like	Less complex flavor combination
Chocolate Chip	Classic buttery cookie, melty chocolate	Gooey center, crisp edges	Shares a chocolate base but served warm, not chilled
Cookies & Cream	Vanilla-and-Oreo	Soft, crumbly	Shares the cookies-and-cream element without the fruit topping
Lemon Bar	Bright citrus, vanilla glaze	Soft, slight tang	Shares the citrus note but without chocolate or marshmallow

What sets the Moonbeam Ice Cream Cookie apart isn’t any single flavor note — it’s the combination of chilled chocolate, fruit, and marshmallow in one cookie, which isn’t a pairing Crumbl uses often.
