'Ben & Jerry’s' debuted a limited-edition ice cream flavor just in time for [Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-ice-cream-flavors). Although pumpkin has become synonymous with fall, the seasonal ingredient is largely found in warm beverages and [festive desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-festive-collection-ice-creams). This frozen treat provides a different way to enjoy autumn's most popular ingredient.

The limited-edition ice cream features a combination of decadent ingredients. The frozen treat consists of cheesecake-flavored ice cream, sweetened with the warm taste of [pumpkin spice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-latte-ice-cream). The ice cream even features a cookie swirl, for an added dose of sweetness. All of the ingredients used are certified fair trade, continuing Ben and Jerry's commitment to ethical sourcing.

Despite its popularity, the new 'Pumpkin Cheesecake' flavor is only available for a limited amount of time.
