Van Leeuwen ice cream has announced a new line of frozen treats that will be launching exclusively at Walmart to offer consumers easy access to the brand's high-quality products. The exclusive ice cream line consists of six flavors, including Pizza, Planet Earth, Hot Honey, Bourbon Cherries Jubilee, Royal Wedding Cake, Macaroni & Cheese, and Will Blueberry Shortcake. The products will come in pint-sized portions and are arriving at participating Walmart locations in the US now.
Co-Founder and CEO Ben Van Leeuwen commented on the new Van Leeuwen ice cream range, saying, "We have created a collection of classic flavours using thoughtfully sourced ingredients, from local jam makers to wild blueberries from Maine, to cookie bakers with a social mission. There are also unique and surprisingly delicious flavours that you would never expect to love as an ice cream (mac and cheese and pizza!)."
