Artisanal Holiday Ice Creams

McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams Has New Dairy-Free Holiday Ice Creams

— November 26, 2023 — Lifestyle
McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams is kicking off the 2023 holiday season with the launch of two exciting new dairy-free holiday ice creams.

Available exclusively from Whole Foods, the two new dairy-free holiday ice creams are a delicious alternative to a lot of the cream-filled treats available this time of year. The first of the new desserts is the Peppermint Mocha & Brownie Bites flavor, which consists of peppermint-spiked mocha "ice cream,' which is swirled with chocolate ganache and stuffed with house-baked, gluten-free brownies. The other new holiday flavor is called Gingerbread House and it consists of an oat milk-based "ice cream" swirled with Guittard dark chocolate and mixed with house-baked gingerbread cookies.

In addition to being dairy-free, both of the new desserts are gluten-free, nut-free, and egg-free, making them a great option for families with various dietary preferences to satisfy.
