Yogurtland Introduces Ice Cream for the "First" Time

Fro-yo girl here. Yogurtland is introducing ice cream for the first time ever. I encountered the two new flavors today. They’re classic, full fat flavors: Vanilla and Chocolate. The ice cream is soft serve and doesn’t have live and active cultures (that would make it frozen yogurt, presumably). Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream will be available for a limited time. 

Yogurtland already offered gelato, which is ice cream, but the new flavors are different. Both were rich and creamy but I found them to have less flavor than Yogurtland’s gelato and frozen yogurt flavors. The ice cream texture was different - smooth and chewy. The chocolate had cocoa flecks. Frozen yogurt is way better but you know that I’m biased. Has anyone else tried their ice cream? If so, what do you think of them?

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Here’s the official Yogurtland press release:

New Yogurtland Joy Flavor, Sweet N’ Smooth Peaches N’ Cream Gelato

Fro-yo girl here. A new flavor is swirling at Yogurtland, starting today, Sweet N’ Smooth Peaches N’ Cream Gelato. Yogurtland’s gelato is richer than their yogurt but it still has live and active cultures.

Sweet N’ Smooth Peaches N’Cream gelato is described by Yogurtland as follows, “This summer essential is inspired by the orange cream popsicle—we replaced the orange with juicy peach for a fun twist. Fresh freestone peaches combined with creamy gelato to make a fruity, sweet, and luscious treat.” The flavor is made with real peaches and cream.

Sweet N’ Smooth Peaches N’Cream gelato: It’s rich, smooth and creamy. They put a lot of cream flavor in it and that mutes the fresh peach flavor but the sweet peach flavor is still present. It’s not super sweet but it has no tanginess. Recommended toppings: Whipped cream, fresh mango, Nilla wafers

Summer is considered peach (and stone fruit) season, so Peaches N’Cream gelato is a suitable summer flavor. The flavor is available for a limited time only, while supplies last.

Some Yogurtland locations have been handing out pinwheel coloring sheets with $1 coupons.

The next new flavor in Yogurtland’s JOY promotion is Larger than Life Mud Pie, with an expected arrival date of July 3.
