As well as launching the 'Cannoli Be With You' ice cream as February 2018's Flavor of the Month, Baskin-Robbins is promoting the 'Cannoli Be With You Waffle Bowl Sundae' as a festive new treat.
The sundae prominently features the new cannoli-inspired sweet, which is made with mascarpone ice cream that is sprinkled with chocolate chips, cannoli shell pieces and roasted pistachio nuts. Those who are looking to indulge their sweet tooth with this flavor in more than a cup or a cone are able to order the sundae, which comes fully dressed with whipped cream, almonds and a cherry.
For Valentine's Day this year, Baskin-Robbins has also released a special heart-shaped brownie Sweetheart Polar Pizza, the Love Potion #31 ice cream and a cake inspired by conversation hearts.
