Trader Joe's has managed to take everyone's favorite Southern Dessert and turn it into a summer-ready treat with its new Trader Joe’s Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream.
Trader Joe's new Trader Joe’s Banana Pudding Flavored Ice Cream is made by the same supplier as the brand's other seasonal ice cream pints. The newest offering is inspired by the classic Southern Dessert, banana pudding, and evokes the sweet taste of the real thing. To achieve this signature flavor, the supplier starts with banana purée and a rich salted caramel swirl to tie everything else together. Each batch of ice cream is also made with real pieces of vanilla-flavored wafer cookies which evoke the same texture and crunchy as the nilla wafers you'd find in classic banana pudding. As Trader Joe's notes, "While it makes an excellent anytime treat, we find that it’s best enjoyed as a satisfyingly sweet reward at the end of a hot summer day."
