Consumers' never-ending love of coffee-flavored ice cream has only intensified with the release of a limited-edition Espresso ice cream pint inspired by the song of the summer, giving them even more reason to indulge in their favorite treat.
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream teamed up with Espresso and Please Please Please singer Sabrina Carpenter to launch Espresso ice cream with rich and chewy brownies, chocolate chips and decadent fudge swirls.
The Van Leeuwen Ice Cream x Sabrina Carpenter Espresso ice cream is set to be available in scoop shops and the brand's website near the end of June, and 50% of profits from the sale of Espresso ice cream will be donated to Ali Forney Center to support and protect LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness.
