The ice cream is the brand's Flavor of the Month for February 2022 and features a pink cake-flavored ice cream base that is swirled with rose ice cream along with a sweet ribbon of strawberry. The ice cream is formulated with real rose extract to help provide a pop of flavor that is floral and slightly refreshing when paired alongside the aforementioned pink cake-flavored ice cream.
