What does Moonbeam Ice Cream mean?

Think flavor meets fairytale. It’s not just a taste but a total vibe , inspired by Benson Boone’s song “Mystical Magical.” The Moonbeam Ice Cream Crumbl Cookie takes that dreamy energy and turns it into dessert form.

Where can I buy Moonbeam Ice Cream?

Oh, I wish you could. But here’s the scoop. You actually can’t buy Moonbeam Ice Cream anywhere. It’s not in stores, not behind the gelato, and not secretly hiding in your grocery’s freezer aisle. Moonbeam ice cream was part of a dreamy little concept created by Crumbl Cookies with Benson Boone, inspired by his song Mystical Magical. The cookie was real and magical. The ice cream? Just a flavor vibe. Fun fact for the flavor detectives. The name may have been sparked by a short-lived Moonbeam flavor from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. But it’s not on shelves anymore. So if you’ve been wondering what does Moonbeam ice cream mean or where can I find it, here’s the truth. You can’t. But this Moonbeam Ice Cream Crumbl Cookie recipe brings all that nostalgic, creamy magic straight to your kitchen. And trust me, it’s the only moonbeam that melts just right.

What is the Moonbeam Ice Cream Crumbl Cookie?

It’s Crumbl’s limited-edition cookie with a rich chocolate base, topped with lemon, berry, and marshmallow frosting. The kind of thing that makes your feed explode and your sweet tooth sing.

What does the Moonbeam Ice Cream Crumbl Cookie taste like?

Like a sugar-frosted debate. Some folks loved the bold swirl of fruit and chocolate. Others were like, “Wait...lemon AND berry AND chocolate?” Our version fixes the flavor balance so each swirl actually works together.

Was the Moonbeam Ice Cream Crumbl Cookie a real flavor?

Oh yes. Very real, very limited, and very viral. Crumbl teamed up with Benson Boone to create a cookie inspired by his song. It dropped fast, disappeared faster, and left everyone talking.

What’s in the cookie?

A chocolatey cookie base with espresso and cocoa, swirled with three frostings — lemon, berry, and marshmallow — plus white chocolate drizzle and a crumbled Oreo on top. It’s a party on a cookie.

Can I use a different type of flour?

Totally. A good gluten free blend will keep that Crumbl copycat texture, and almond flour works too if you're going low carb. Just expect a softer bite.

How do I store the finished cookies?

Keep them chilled like the original. Pop them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Bonus points if you sneak one straight from the fridge at midnight.

Why did my cookies spread too much?

Been there. Warm dough is usually the culprit. Chill it before baking and make sure your butter isn’t too soft. That’ll help them keep their shape.

Who is Benson Boone and what is his connection to the cookie?

Benson Boone is the pop star behind the song "Mystical Magical," which Crumbl used as the vibe for their Moonbeam Ice Cream Crumbl Cookie collab. He’s the face, the name, the full-on celestial theme. But here’s where it gets interesting. The original idea didn’t just come from his song. It also pulls flavor inspo from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. Yep, the Moonbeam ice cream flavor was part of Jeni’s lineup too. So this cookie? It’s kind of the baby of a pop anthem and a cult-favorite scoop.

Can I make this with a different cookie base, like sugar cookie?

Absolutely. A sugar cookie base softens the boldness of the chocolate and really lets the moonbeam ice cream frosting flavors shine. If you’re a fruity-frosting fan, go for it.
