Unilever-owned Ben & Jerry's has announced the launch of a new sundae ice cream range featuring whipped ice cream topping. The new range consists of four new flavour variations including a plant-based addition. 'Cookie Vermont-ster' includes sweet cream ice cream with chocolate chip cookies and chocolatey cookie swirls while 'Hazel-nuttin’ but Chocolate' contains chocolate hazelnut ice cream with brownie pieces and sea salt chocolatey swirls. 'Oh My! Banoffee Pie!' has a creamy banana ice cream base with additional chocolatey caramel cups and cookie swirls. Lastly, Non-'Dairy Berry Revolutionary' includes raspberry vegan ice cream with sandwich cookies and chocolatey cookie swirls. Priscille Moussy, flavour guru at Ben & Jerry’s, said: “You might think you know a sundae… But are you ready for a sundae the Ben & Jerry’s way?! Inspired by the American classic, we wanted to show dessert devotees you do not have to go out to go all out. Sundaes are ice cream plus so much more (we left out the kitchen sink, you’re welcome!). We think you’re going to need a bigger spoon to dig deep into these layers!”. Ben & Jerry’s sundae range will be available in retailers everywhere this January, with an RRP of £5.49 per tub.
