'Sweet Mango Memories' is the latest scoop-worthy creation from Ben & Jerry’s, blending fruity mango swirls, creamy sweet cream ice cream, and white chocolate ampersand chunks for a truly joyful indulgence. But this isn’t just another delicious flavor -- it’s a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the power of community.
Developed in collaboration with entrepreneurs from refugee backgrounds and their allies through the Entrepreneurial Refugee Network (TERN) and UP Collective, this flavor embodies happy memories and shared experiences. Every tub purchased helps support refugee entrepreneurs, providing them opportunities to build meaningful careers and contribute to their new communities.
Now available at Co-op stores across the UK, Sweet Mango Memories is as much an ice cream as a movement.
