Alden's Organic Banana Cookie Crumble ice cream has made its arrival in celebration of National Banana Day as a sweet, textural frozen treat that draws inspiration from homemade treats. The dessert starts off with a rich banana ice cream that's blended with organic vanilla wafers throughout to allow the flavor of the tropical fruit to shine through, while also adding in textural touches. The ice cream responds to the popularity of banana-flavored milks and desserts, and will call to mind comfort foods like banana bread and banana pudding, albeit in a decidedly frozen format.
Alden's Organic Banana Cookie Crumble ice cream is made with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and is also USDA Organic certified and Non-GMO Project Verified.
