Handel's Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream is being launched by the brand to provide consumers with a delicious option to try out this winter when on the hunt for a frozen yet seasonally appropriate treat.
The ice cream is headed to participating scoop shops, and boasts a spiced gingerbread flavor base that's infused with pieces of crunchy gingersnaps in every bite. The ice cream thus has a sweet, spiced flavor that doesn't skimp on texture to give it a holistically satisfying profile that's perfect for a wide variety of preferences.
CEO Jennifer Schuler spoke on Handel's Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream saying, "Gingerbread is the ultimate holiday classic, from cookies and drinks to gingerbread houses. It brings back fond memories of making and sharing gingerbread with family and enjoying cookies at Grandma’s house. The holiday season is a time to reflect and slow down with loved ones, and that’s something we’re proud to embrace at Handel’s through our exceptional ice cream and warm hospitality."
