The Blue Bell Creameries Mardi Gras King Cake ice cream has been launched by the brand in the US wherever the brand's products are sold as a new way to celebrate the upcoming event.
The dessert ice cream is made with premium cinnamon cake-flavored ice cream that has been infused with a swirl of cream cheese, pastry pieces and candy sprinkles. This helps the treat to have an indulgent and complex flavor profile that likens itself to the flamboyant celebration itself for consumers to appreciate.
Corporate Sales Manager at Blue Bell, Carl Breed, spoke on reasoning behind the Blue Bell Creameries Mardi Gras King Cake ice cream when he explained, "We still receive requests for Mardi Gras and King Cake because our fans never forget a flavor. But, you have the best of both worlds with our Mardi Gras King Cake ice cream.”
