SWEET TREATS Local ice cream and dessert suppliers share their news and product launches.
From ice creams to American-style Cookie Pies and allergyfriendly options, here’s a quick snapshot of new and trending products.
Colour me in ice cream The sweetest of colours fills the tubs of Deep South’s first play in the children’s ice cream arena. Its Slime Lime and Rainbow Unicorn 2-litre ice creams will catch the kids’ eyes and their tastebuds. The ice creams’ names are kid-relatable (slime and unicorns are so cool right now!), the fun illustrations on the packaging provide a memorable brand identity, which will light up any child’s face when they open the tubs and see the colours! These two children’s flavours are unique in the market, and join the rest of Deep South’s family range, which has had a
package refresh, but remains full of the favourites, such as Hokey Pokey, Vanilla, French Vanilla, Boysenberry, Double Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Eclair and Moccacino. Meanwhile, a new 950 ml Aspiring ice cream range has been created as something extra special for the adults. The Aspiring range provides Deep South’s signature creamy ice cream in exciting new flavours and filled with indulgent treats, such as real chocolate, biscuits, and ripples. Flavours include Caramel Cookie Dough, Chocolate Caramel Brownie, and Creamy Rum and Raisin, S’mores, and Vanilla Bean. There will be something delicious for everyone.
