Blue Bell releases special Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream

(WFLA) – You can now celebrate Mardi Gras in a sweet way without leaving town.

Blue Bell will release its new Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream to stores this week.

The unique flavor will be available in all areas that sell Blue Bell products.

“We have been making Mardi Gras King Cake since 2012, but the flavor has mostly been sold in areas known for the celebration such as Louisiana and Alabama,” said Carl Breed, corporate sales manager for Blue Bell.

“Last year a grocery store in Louisiana posted about the flavor’s arrival on its Facebook page and we started receiving requests from all over the country. After that, we decided to share this festive flavor with everyone in our distribution area.”

The Mardi Gras inspired dessert is made with a cinnamon cake flavored ice cream, pastry pieces and a colorful cream cheese swirl with festive candy sprinkles.

The Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream is only available for a limited time.
