Cold Stone Creamery recently debuted a new lineup of seasonal treats that combine pumpkin flavors with indulgent desserts. While pumpkin has become synonymous with lattes this time of year, Cold Stone Creamery is offering consumers a different way to enjoy the popular seasonal squash.
Cold Stone Creamery's new fall lineup includes two new creations that combine pumpkin with delicious desserts. The first of the new fall flavors is the Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream, which combines pumpkin ice cream with caramel, whipped topping and pieces of Health Bar. The chain is also offering a Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream Pie that combines the seasonal ice cream with a graham cracker pie crust, cinnamon frosting and a sweet caramel drizzle.
The new menu additions give consumers a way to indulge in sweet pumpkin flavors without ordering a hot coffee drink.
