Ice Cream/Novelties

The two partners begin the second year of a multi-year partnership with the introduction of a custom new ice cream flavor – Cookie Curveball – made by Gifford’s and dedicated to the Boston Red Sox loyal fan base. 

This new treat takes a playful spin on the classic Neapolitan flavor, combining strawberry ice cream with a duo of delicious cookies, a sweet vanilla sugar cookie on one side and a rich double chocolate cookie on the other.

For Dallas-based Kaurina’s Kulfi, winner of the 2012 Dairy Foods’ Product of the Year award, the manufacturing process of its frozen novelty pops and pints involves one significant change compared to traditional ice cream processors: the cooking process with the milk. 

Wells Enterprises, in collaboration with Ferrero North America, unveiled a delicious new twist on three iconic candy bars — Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, and 100 Grand — now available as indulgent Ice Cream Candy Bars.

Consumer interest in “clean labels,” i.e., use of ingredients perceived to occur naturally in foods, has created a challenge to frozen dessert formulators.

The food inclusions market — split into chocolate chips and chunks, candy pieces, fruits and nuts, herbs, spices, and even savory ingredients like cheese or bacon bits — is thriving based on demand for value-added food products and significantly wider application in dairy products, ice cream, frozen desserts, confectionary, baked products, and snacks and bars.

Everyone in America knows about ice cream. But for some frozen novelties, great taste may not be enough to boost a product’s sales. Case in point: kulfi, a unique frozen novelty treat with Indian origins. 

Each pop offers a half serving of fruit and is made with only five ingredients consisting of organic fruits and vegetables. The Organic Smoothie Pops do not contain any added sugar, water, or juice concentrates and all of the varieties are non-GMO, USDA Organic certified, gluten and dairy free, vegan, and Certified B Corp. 

"Fans can *finally* spend Valentine's Day with their two favorite guys – Ben & Jerry – thanks to this brand-new, berry sweet treat," the company said.

The dairy industry always takes on its fair share of competition. Whether it is plant-based products, marketing campaigns claiming dairy is “unhealthy,” H5N1 bird flu, labor challenges, and more, dairy is really holding up well.
