The Tender Crush I Scream Tender has been created by the brand as a treat that will arrive for National Ice Cream Day (July 20) to satisfy consumer interest in unexpected treat varieties. The ice cream novelty comes in the form of a portion of vanilla ice cream shaped to look like a chicken tender for the base before being covered with a white chocolate and toffee crust. The fried chicken-inspired novelty comes served with chocolate caramel and strawberry sauce dipping sauces that allow consumers to enjoy an additional burst of sweetness, depending on preferences.
The Tender Crush I Scream Tender will be on offer at the brand's SoHo location at 529 Broome Street starting July 20 with samples being given out through July 27, 2025 to coincide with National Chicken Tender Day.
