To celebrate the upcoming Gilmore Girls revival, Brooklyn's Ample Hills Creamery is releasing a special flavor that commemorates the iconic TV series. With a punny name and deliciously clever toppings, the new ice cream is perfect for binge-watching the new Gilmore Girls episodes.
The new ice cream flavor has been dubbed 'They Scoop Gilmores, Don't They?' and it comes in a pint decorated with an illustration of Rory and Lorelai sitting at Luke's Diner. Inside the pint, customers will find coffee-flavored chocolate pudding ice cream, with bits of sinkerdoodle cookies and pink Pop Tart sprinkles. The flavor was developed based on a combination of three winning entries that were chosen from the more than 2,500 ideas submitted to the creamery.
Those looking to get their hands on a pint ahead of the Gilmore Girls revival can order online as part of a special 'Where You Lead, I Will Marshmallow 4-Pack.'
