Steve's [Ice Cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/softserve-ice-cream-pouches) recently refreshed its look, introducing a bold new way for consumers to see its creative craft ice cream flavors, which are offered in both dairy and dairy-free varieties. The new look for the ice cream brand features the work of Seattle-based artist Drew Wicklund, which playfully gives consumers a quick way to identify each unique flavor.

While the Small Batch Bourbon Vanilla variety can be identified as the pint with a silhouette of a barrel, the Wildflower Honey Pistachio flavor features a bumble bee. Some of the new and intriguing flavors from the brand include Spearmint Chocolate Brownie, Sicilian Chocolate Cannoli and [Cold-Brewed Cinnamon Coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tillamook-ice-cream-flavors), which are made with grass-grazed milk, as well as unusual [dairy-free options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-dairy-free-decadence-series) like Moroccan Mash Up, Passion Carnivale and Chocolate Cherry Blossom.
