Coldstone Breakthrough: Ice Cream That Transforms Into Pudding

Posted by: Mark Levine

Wow -- is this the frozen confectionary breakthrough of the year? The decade? Coldstone is about to release ice cream that doesn't melt. No, this sweet wonder simply transforms into JELL-O pudding...

Coldstone Tastemaster (how do we apply for this job?), Ray Karam, has been working with JELL-O pudding in rigorous taste tests to create a sweet frozen treat that "...has a mouth feel much like a velvety mousse."

When your bowl of freshly-scooped Coldstone sits at room temperature for a while, an amazing transformation occurs. The ice cream skips melting and turns into pudding instead (or so the legend goes).

Coldstone is releasing four flavors that will only be available for a limited time -- in locations from June 3rd until July 28th (SO DON'T DROP THE BALL -- get over there!). Find your closest location here.

To compliment the cutting-edge ice cream, Coldstone also has two new creations to showcase the flavors:

Butterscotch Velvet -- Butterscotch JELL-O Pudding Ice Cream mixed with Butterfinger, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and Caramel.

Chocolatel-y Goodness -- Chocolate JELL-O Pudding Ice Cream mixed with Peanut Butter, Caramel and Fudge.

Recipes for the new flavors are going up on the Coldstone Creamery site so you can make ice cream sandwiches, JELL-O pudding ice cream pops and snacks at home.
