To meet the demand from consumers for ice cream that's lower in fat and calories, Cedar Crest Ice Cream launched a new line of churned ice cream that fits these requirements. Specifically, loyal Cedar Crest Ice Cream customers were looking to experience the brand's classic products in a more healthful way. The brand's new line of churned ice cream comes in 48-ounce containers with popular flavors like Vanilla, Strawberry, as well as decadent Mint 'N Fudge and Caramel Swirl.
Churned, or slow-churned, ice cream is less dense because of the air within it, yet it provides a flavorful and creamy eating experience.
