Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream is a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor inspired by Stephen Colbert, host of the CBS television show The Late Show, and the fictionalized version of him who served as host of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. It was first released by Ben & Jerry's in 2007.
AmeriCone Dream is vanilla ice cream with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and a caramel swirl. The name "AmeriCone Dream" is a pun for the term American Dream. Colbert donates 100% of the proceeds from the sale of AmeriCone Dream to charities through The Stephen Colbert AmeriCone Dream Fund. The Fund supports charities of concern to Colbert, such as food and medical assistance for disadvantaged children, helping veterans and their families, and environmental causes. As of February 2018 over two million dollars have been donated.
