New Pinkberry Holiday Flavor, Roasted Almond Cookie Frozen Yogurt & New Topping

 

Fro-yo girl here. Pinkberry announced a NEW holiday flavor, Roasted Almond Cookie frozen yogurt. They recommend pairing Roasted Almond Cookie froyo with chocolate chips, crushed almond biscotti cookies, and chocolate sauce drizzle. This means that there’s a new topping, crushed almond biscotti cookies.

Pinkberry describes Roasted Almond Cookie froyo as: “a decadent and creamy almond blend made with real Biscoff® Cookies.” Love Biscoff!

Roasted Almond Cookie froyo: Yum! I liked it a lot. The froyo tasted like almond biscotti, and the texture was smooth, light, and creamy. It’s not as rich as some froyo, and that works well with some of the sweeter flavors. The toppings paired well with the froyo, adding texture and flavor. The biscotti was in tiny pieces, but the pieces were still crunchy. Recommended toppings: crushed almond biscotti cookies, cinnamon crumble, roasted almonds, dark chocolate crisps.

Last year I was disappointed when Pinkberry did not introduce a new holiday flavor. Instead, they brought back Chocolate Chip Cookie frozen yogurt. In 2021, they brought back Tiramisu as the holiday froyo flavor. The last new holiday flavor was 2019’s Cranberry Orange froyo.

So far the holiday froyo picture is bright.

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

Yogurtland Holiday Flavors

brown sugar boba milk tea mochi

Fro-yo girl here. Now that the day after Halloween seems to be the official start of the Christmas season, holiday froyo flavors are here.

Fan-favorite White Chocolate Peppermint froyo is back. Yogurtland describes White Chocolate Peppermint froyo as, “Our mix of real gourmet white chocolate and delicious peppermint serves up joy by the spoonful, just in time for the holidays.” The flavor is lowfat, gluten-free, and made with real white chocolate peppermint. It wasn’t at the Yogurtland location that I went to but I’ve had it before. I liked it. It’s not too minty. Recommended toppings: chocolate shell, chocolate chips, whipped cream

And there is a NEW flavor, Cinnamon Sticky Bun froyo. Yogurtland encourages guests to “Dive into the flavor of this sticky, sweet treat with a touch of cinnamon.” Cinnamon Sticky Bun froyo is lowfat but not gluten-free. It’s made with real cinnamon, vanilla wafer cookies, English toffee, and sweetened condensed milk. I was expecting a strong cinnamon flavor even though the sign said a touch of cinnamon. The buns in the picture look like they have a lot of cinnamon. Anyway, the froyo tasted more like a caramel cheesecake. It was creamy and smooth. Recommended toppings: cheesecake, Cinnamon Toast Crunch (or S’mores cereal)

I spotted a new topping: brown sugar boba milk tea mochi. These were good! They’re big too. The chewy mochi has a creamy filling with more mochi inside.

I saw a picture of a red Yogurtland holiday cup but I haven’t seen the new cups at my Yogurtland yet.

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

Lucky Irish Mint Returns to Yogurtland and There Are New Toppings

 

Fro-yo girl here. McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes are back (they returned on February 20) and mint froyo is popping up at froyo shops across the country. To celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day season, Yogurtland has brought back Lucky Irish Mint froyo. Lucky Irish Mint froyo is nonfat, gluten-free, and made with real California milk and fresh mint. Strange how they keep changing the name of the flavor. It was called Lucky Mint Crème but last year they changed it to Lucky Irish Mint Cream. This year it’s just Lucky Irish Mint.

There are also two new toppings: Biscoff cookie crumbs and Wonka Rainbow Nerds.

I spotted Biscoff cookie crumbs at my Yogurtland late last year. December? But it wasn’t announced as a new topping till recently. Love Biscoff cookies and the crumbs too (the crumbs are just crushed Biscoff cookies).

Wonka Rainbow Nerds added to Lucky Irish Mint make for a nice St. Patrick’s Day inspired pot of gold at the end of the rainbow froyo cup.

I tried Biscoff cookie crumbs on Lucky Irish Mint froyo (with Classic Cookies & Cream froyo). It’s so good! Crispy, crunchy, caramelized cookie crumbs complement the smooth, refreshing mint froyo. I also loved the pairing with Classic Cookies & Cream. Reminds me of Yogurtland’s Chocolate Mint Cookies froyo that I haven’t had in so long.

You can always use Yogurtland's Flavor Finder on the website and app to find Lucky Irish Mint froyo.
