The holiday season is upon us and Trader Joe's is doubling down on one of the most classic holiday flavors with the launch of its new Gingerbread Ice Cream.
Gingerbread is a beloved holiday treat thanks to its sweet molasses base and the warm mix of spices like ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Now, Trader Joe's has taken this holiday sweet bread and transformed it into a cool and creamy treat. The new Gingerbread Ice Cream features ginger in three different ways. First, the ice cream base is generously spiced with ginger and then it's infused with bite-sized pieces of Trader Joe's very own Triple Ginger Snap Cookies. The whole thing is then finished off with a sweet gingerbread swirl.
