With summer just around the corner, [Pinkberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ube-honey) has rolled out a new version of [low-fat soft serve ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kefir-soft-serve) that is topped with real honeycomb. Not only does the sweet topper add a touch of texture to the rich and creamy soft serve, but it also provides a nutritional boost.

Pinkberry has dubbed the new low-fat milk soft serve 'Pinkbee's Honeycomb Drizzle' because it is served a drizzle of honey and a slice of real honeycomb. Since honeycomb is the purest and rawest form of honey it offers more nutritional value than artificial toppers such as candy. Of course, those who want to skip the sweet toppings entirely can also order the low-fat ice cream on its own.

With more consumers looking for [healthy dessert options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowsugar-ice-cream-brand), Pinkbee's Honeycomb Drizzle serves as the perfect form of guilt-free indulgence.
