SCOTTSDALE Ariz. Cold Stone Creamery said Tuesday it is offering a Jell-O pudding ice cream for a limited time.
The ice cream mimics the texture of pudding in frozen form, said Ray Karam, who leads research and development for Cold Stone and created the ice cream. All Cold Stone units will feature the butterscotch and chocolate flavors of the pudding ice cream; the vanilla and banana flavors are optional.
The pudding ice cream will be available through July 28. Prices are the same as those for regular ice cream offerings, which, excluding add-ins, range from $2.49 to $3.49 depending on size and region.
The company said that the pudding ice cream, when left at room temperature, turns into pudding.
“It was my goal this year to develop not only a new great flavor, but to also change the actual texture of ice cream,” Karam said. “ I experimented with dozens of ideas, but it was the taste and texture of pudding I knew would really surprise ice cream aficionados. Pudding evokes nostalgic memories for a lot of people, as does ice cream, so this treat satisfies the taste buds and emotions.”
Cold Stone Creamery, a division of Kahala Corp. of Scottsdale, has more than 1,450 locations in 12 countries.
