Publix is expanding its ice cream selection by introducing new everyday pint sizes and a variety of lactose-free flavors, available year-round.
The pint lineup now features popular flavors previously found only in half-gallon sizes. These include Barnie’s Coffee, a coffee-flavored ice cream made with real milk and cream; Chocolate Trinity, a chocolate ice cream swirled with Mackinac fudge and mini fudge cups; Cookies & Cream, featuring chocolate sandwich cookie pieces; and Moose Tracks, a vanilla ice cream made with peanut butter cups and swirls of Moose Tracks fudge.
In addition, two flavors – Chocolate and Chocolate and Vanilla Crunch – will join the everyday pint collection this summer, serving as new interpretations of current recipes.
New lactose-free options
Publix also is introducing several new quart-size lactose-free flavors. These include Caramel Toffee, a caramel-flavored ice cream featuring chocolate caramel swirls and toffee candy, made without lactose. Cookies ’n Cream is another lactose-free option, offering vanilla ice cream with chocolate sandwich cookie pieces.
For those seeking fruitier choices, Pineapple Banana provides a blend of milk, cream and fruit, sans lactose. And Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel combines chocolate peanut butter ice cream with cocoa, peanuts and cocoa-coated pretzels, also in a lactose-free format.
Among the additions, Pineapple Banana and Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel are unique to Publix, available in lactose-free and traditional ice cream recipes, while Caramel Toffee and Cookies ’n Cream are lactose-free renditions of customer favorites.
