Avid fans of the classic cherry crumble dessert are likely to welcome the arrival of the Ben & Jerry's Cherry Crumble ice cream as its latest addition to its limited batch series.
The ice cream boasts a buttery ice cream base with a ring of bing cherries along with oat crumbles for a touch of additional texture. These ingredients combine to create a decidedly chillier take on the classic baked dessert for consumers to enjoy without any preparation.
The Ben & Jerry's Cherry Crumble ice cream was touted by Flavor Guru Colleen Rossell who said, "We were inspired by spring, fresh fruit and the memory of taking a fresh cherry crumble out of the oven. With so many caramels, chocolates and peanut butter flavours available – this is a refreshing choice with the right amount of sweetness, fruit, and rich indulgence.”
