Carvel is Introducing Churro Ice Cream Treats and Churro Crunchies

— July 12, 2021 — Lifestyle
Perfectly timed for National Ice Cream Day, Carvel is introducing all-new Churro Ice Cream treats that enhance the creamy and indulgent nature of the soft ice cream with extra sweetness from cinnamon and sugar. This nostalgic flavor has the potential to make people feel nostalgic for a variety of summer experiences, including visiting the state fair, carnival or walking along the boardwalk. At a time when people may not be able or eager to return to the summer activities they once enjoyed, this flavor provides a sense of escape.

With the introduction of its Churro Ice Cream treats, Carvel Ice Cream is also launching its first-ever new Crunchies flavor. Churro Crunchies are "crispy vanilla crunch coated in a sweet vanilla bonnet shell with the cinnamon and sugar flavors of a Churro."
