Piquant Ice Cream Pints

'Hot Scream' Makes Frozen Desserts with a Kick of Spice

Over the last few years, adventurous consumers with a love of all things hot and spicy have been treated to a range of unique new food and beverage products and in 2019, Escape Brands' Hot Scream is set to introduce a spicy take on a popular frozen treat.

Although ice cream is thought of as being cooling and sweet, Hot Scream is launching flavors like Salted Caramel Swirl, Ginger Swirl, Strawberry Swirl, Espresso Swirl and more to get people familiar with "the spicy ice cream." Even those who tend to avoid spicy foods may find Hot Scream palatable, as the ice cream itself naturally helps to cool the heat of the fiery ingredients in the products.
