'Chocolate Strawberry Cups' are Crumbl's latest seasonal offering, introducing a new chilled dessert format to the brand's menu for a limited time from June 22 through July 11. The launch expands Crumbl's portfolio beyond its signature cookies with two layered desserts that combine fresh strawberries, milk chocolate, and complementary ingredients.
The collection includes the 'Dubai-Style Chocolate Strawberry Cup,' which layers milk chocolate with pistachio cream, toasted kataifi pastry, and sliced strawberries, reflecting the growing popularity of Dubai-inspired flavor combinations. The lineup also features an original 'Chocolate Strawberry Cup,' a simpler variation made with premium milk chocolate and fresh strawberries that is designated as gluten-friendly.
Available through July 11, the limited-time desserts highlight Crumbl's continued exploration of seasonal formats and flavor profiles, offering a chilled alternative intended for summer occasions while broadening the brand's selection of dessert experiences.
