Hot Honey Ice Creams

McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream Created Buttered Rum Ice Cream with a Twist

— October 31, 2022 — Lifestyle
McConnell’s Fine Ice Cream teamed up with Red Clay to create a new hot honey ice cream using the hot sauce company's hot honey. The new Hot Honey Buttered Rum flavor puts a spicy spin on a beloved seasonal treat. With notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, the ice cream provides comfort and indulgence all at once, thanks to a taste of house-baked speculoos cookies. The hot honey is made with raw honey, apple cider vinegar and fermented habanero pepper so it lends plenty of heat to an otherwise cooling treat. This sweet and spicy seasonal ice cream is a limited release that promises to be popular with fans of spiced rum, hot honey and ice cream.

Condiment-inspired flavors are proving to be popular within the ice cream category, with brands experimenting with a variety of spicy, tangy, savory and umami notes.
