Ice Cream/Novelties

Since its conception in 1979, Free Cone Day has been a way for Ben & Jerry's to give back to the community that helped it grow from a single Scoop Shop in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vt., to one of the most beloved ice cream companies worldwide. 

Each cone has peanut butter in the center and is dipped in a chocolatey coating full of delicious cookie pieces.

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.

This addition "harnesses a social media freeze-dried candy trend and brings a new dimension" to the brand's beloved Italian Ice, Jelati, and Soft Ice Cream offerings.

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.
