Crumbl Strawberry Summer has officially kicked off to center the sweet flavor of strawberry on the rotating menu. First up, the new Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake introduces an indulgent treat with a strawberry-infused cheesecake baked on a cookies and cream crust, finished with rich chocolate ganache and whipped cream swirl.
"We’re celebrating the versatility of strawberries by pairing them with ingredients like vanilla bean, rich chocolate, creamy cheesecake, and even salty pretzel," says Amy Eldredge, Vice President of Menu at Crumbl.
After the Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake makes its debut at Crumbl, the following weeks of summer will share fresh and fruity flavors like Vanilla the Bean Strawberry Cake, Strawberry Skillet Cookie, Strawberry Pretzel Layer Bar, and the Strawberry Brownie.
