Banana pudding, a creamy, classic Southern dessert is sometimes enjoyed warm and other times chilled, and Lorenzo’s Southern-Style Frozen Pudding reimagines it as a convenient, clean-label treat. This premium frozen pudding is free from artificial ingredients and features locally sourced ingredients for a rich, layered treat with a gourmet taste. Notably, this frozen pudding has two times the butterfat content of standard ice cream formulations, resulting in a satisfying mouthfeel and, functionally, a freeze-thaw stability that maintains the product's structural integrity throughout its shelf life.
In addition to Real Banana, Lorenzo's currently offers its Southern-Style Frozen Pudding in pineapple, chocolate mousse, and strawberry varieties. Soon, a vegan-friendly cashew-based frozen pudding will join the lineup.
