For this year’s Spring flavors, Anthony and Chad gained inspiration from the Lone Star State, its bounty and childhood memories. The new flavors, available by the scoop or pint at all Scoop Shops, include but are not limited to, Sweet Cream & Strawberry: rich sweet cream ice cream featuring a swirl of our own strawberry jam made with freshly picked strawberries from local Texas farms; Peanut Fudge Swirl: roasted, salted Texas peanuts from Seminole, TX and rich fudge sauce swirl through creamy peanut butter ice cream and their vegan Carrot & Coconut Cake. The Spring Malt ‘Mallow is filled with handmade mini vanilla marshmallows using plant-based color pigments paired with malted sweet cream ice cream. The Spring menu will be available April 4 through June 5, 2019.
