Ben & Jerry's Pucker Upper is a tart and refreshing raspberry sorbet that offers fans a slightly different way to beat the summer heat. Pucker Upper is not just a raspberry sorbet but a frozen treat that's loaded with an extra-tart lemonade swirl and sour sugar bits, which the brand is introducing as a "completely new ingredient, custom-designed for this Ben & Jerry's flavor." This innovative ingredient boasts a dairy coating so that the sour sugar pieces don't dissolve in the sorbet.
The sweet yet sour, light and refreshing fruit sorbet is being introduced as a Limited Batch flavor in pints and nationwide Scoop Shops. The new summer treat boasts just a half a gram of fat and 110 calories per serving
