Collaboration Ice Creams Flavors

Ben & Jerry's Lights! Caramel! Action! Was Made with Ava DuVernay

— December 8, 2022 — Lifestyle
The Ben & Jerry's Lights! Caramel! Action! ice cream has been unveiled as a new frozen dessert created in collaboration with director Ava DuVernay as a textural treat for consumers to enjoy next year.

The ice cream features a vanilla ice cream base that's blended with swirls of caramel and graham crackers, and dotted throughout with chocolate chip cookie dough hunks. The ice cream is positioned to launch in dairy and non-dairy options, and will see proceeds from the flavor benefiting the ARRAY Alliance non-profit organization. The ice cream will launch across the US starting in January 2023.

DuVernay commented on the new Ben & Jerry's Lights! Caramel! Action! ice cream saying, "I had the opportunity to work with food scientists to create a flavour with all the ingredients that I personally love for a cause close to my heart. Beyond being downright delicious, proceeds from Lights! Caramel! Action! will help ARRAY Alliance further its non-profit mission of inclusion and belonging in the film and TV industries.”
