The Jude’s Plant Based Mint Chocolate ice cream is a vegan-friendly frozen treat from the UK-based brand for consumers to pick up when craving a creamy yet plant-based treat.
The ice cream is crafted with a chocolate-flavored base that's infused with mint thanks to a partnership with Summerdown. The ice cream is thus infused with Summerdown's English Black Mitcham peppermint, which has been harvested and distilled to ensure the utmost attention to a high-quality mint flavor. The ice cream is set to arrive at Ocado locations starting on August 31 at a price point of £4.80 per pint.
Managing Director Chow Mezger spoke on the new Jude’s Plant Based Mint Chocolate ice cream saying, "It was an absolute joy to have the expertise of the peppermint people at Summerdown as we created this wonderfully balanced Mint Chocolate ice cream. Plant Based Mint Chocolate is unbelievably creamy, and I love the way
the smooth ice cream, chocolate ripple and crunchy chocolate chips work together.”
