With summer solstice now come and gone, summer has officially arrived here in the northern hemisphere! And no matter what you’re celebrating this season, ice cream is always a great accompaniment.
Earning our Pick of the Month is an exciting launch from Italian confectionery giant Ferrero! Although well known as a hazelnut chocolate spread, Nutella has yet to enter the ice cream aisle – until now! The brand’s new debut is an ice cream version of its hugely popular hazelnut chocolate spread.
There are plenty of other new treats, too, from brands worldwide. Let’s get started reviewing them!
JUMP TO:
Four-Cheese Ice Cream from Baskin-Robbins Japan! Japan
Baskin-Robbins Japan (also known as Thirty-One) is serving up a flavor you often associate with pizza, not ice cream: Four-Cheese!
The treat is made with cream cheese ice cream, gorgonzola ice cream, camembert, and gouda ice cream. Cream cheese cookie bits add some pizza crust-evocative starchiness. The ice cream’s color is similar to French Vanilla and offers a surprisingly sweet taste.
You can find it at Japanese locations for 420 yen (US$2.60) for a regular-size scoop or 320 yen ($1.98USD) for kids’.
Lotus Biscoff Ice Cream Sticks Return! Australia
The popular Biscoff ice cream sticks – which were available for a limited time only in March 2023 – have made a comeback!
The treat is made from velvety Biscoff dairy ice cream, covered in a rich layer of Biscoff spread, and coated in Belgian milk chocolate with crunchy Biscoff biscuit pieces.
Pick up a three-pack (270ml) of the treats for $9.50AUD ($6.33 USD).
New Ice Cream Range from Khoya! India
Inspired by Classic Mithais (Indian sweets), Khoya’s newest debuts are anything but ordinary! Each of the four unique flavors is carefully crafted and offers an authentic, distinct taste free from artificial colors and preservatives.
Milk Cake Ice Cream: Drawing inspiration from the beloved Indian Mithai, this flavor pays homage to tradition with a touch of originality in every scoop. Indulge in the rich, caramelized notes of sweetened Khoya (milk), complemented by cardamom and saffron in each creamy bite.
Kesar Motichoor Ice Cream: A distinctive fusion of iconic Motichoor Ladoo (a popular Indian sweet) and creamy ice cream, this flavor delights with its combination of tiny Boondi pearls (made from fried chickpea flour) and luxurious smoothness.
Pink Coconut Ice Cream: Immerse yourself in a tropical paradise with every spoonful. Delight in the velvety smoothness of coconut-infused ice cream, enhanced by delectable pieces of khoya-based pink coconut Ladoo (Indian coconut fudge).
Pista Lounge Ice Cream: Savor the richness of handpicked pistachios in every bite. This frozen delight provides a nutty essence that rejuvenates and delights even the most discerning tastes.
Each 500mL pint costs Rs 575 ($6.89USD), except Pista Lounge, which retails for Rs 650 ($7.79USD).
