To celebrate the upcoming release of 'IF,' a Baskin-Robbins live-action/animated fantasy comedy directed by John Krasinski, Baskin-Robbins has just debuted a new IF Movie Menu.
Drawing inspiration from each of the movie's characters, Baskin-Robbins promises to serve up some wonder in every scoop from its new IF Movie Menu. First up is the Blue’s Boardwalk Bash flavor, which consists of blue raspberry ice cream studded with crunchy Oreo Cookie Pieces and cotton candy swirls. On the other hand, the new Blossom’s Berry Twirl features a fruity blend of strawberry and sweet cream ice creams, swirled with rainbow sprinkles and pink sugar cookie dough flowers throughout.
The new IF Movie Menu will be available from Baskin-Robbins locations nationwide starting on May 1, 2024.
