What’s New in October: Dairy Ice Cream Innovations

Updated: Nov 27

Over the past month, from Oceania’s summer preparation season to the Northern Hemisphere's fall, there were plenty of products to seduce ice cream lovers.

 

A standout treat this month results from a fun collaboration between Kraken Rum and Tipsy Scoop: Kraken Ship Wrecked Ice Cream! Earning our Pick of the Month, this spooky ice cream (and its up to 5% alcohol content) will cast a deliciously wicked spell on your taste buds!

 

However, there are some other equally delightful products recently launched by brands around the globe. Let’s get to it!
