US-based frozen novelties brand Chipwich has announced two new flavour additions to its Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich range: Vanilla Chocolate Almond and Brown Butter Pecan.

The new flavours feature premium nut pieces rolled around the outside of the sandwich, catering to demand for indulgent, high-quality frozen dessert experiences.

Research from the International Dairy Foods Association ranks nuts among the top five most popular ice cream toppings, outranking sprinkles and chocolate chips, yet nuts have remained ‘notably absent’ from ice cream sandwiches, Chipwich observed.

Chipwich’s new Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches feature two wire-cut, homemade-style cookies, paired with 12% butterfat ice cream rolled in glazed nuts to deliver a rich and layered sensory experience.

Vanilla Chocolate Almond pairs double chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream rolled in glazed almond pieces, while Brown Butter Pecan combines brown butter cookies with sweet cream ice cream rolled in glazed pecan pieces.

David Clarke, president and founder of Chipwich owner Crave Better Foods, said: “Chipwich has always been about doing things better – better ingredients, better texture and better value”.

“Consumers love premium nuts in their ice cream, chocolate, candy and other indulgences, but they have never been available in ice cream sandwiches. We’re excited to bring these new flavours to our fans in a way only Chipwich could execute.”
