In 2012, Halo Top made a splash in the grocery industry, quickly amassing a large following with its light ice cream that offered lower calorie and sugar content, along with added protein. This innovative approach set the brand apart in an industry where such products were rare. By 2017, Halo Top had become a dominant force in the U.S. ice cream market, surpassing established brands like Ben & Jerry’s in sales and earning a spot on Time Magazine’s list of top inventions of the year.
Since its inception, Halo Top has expanded its range from a few flavors to over 25 options, including popular choices like Birthday Cake, Red Velvet, and Chocolate Mocha Chip. The brand has also diversified its lineup with yogurt bars, fruit bars, and baking mixes, providing consumers with lower sugar alternatives. To kick off the new year, Halo Top has introduced eight new flavors of its protein-rich ice cream.
One of the most exciting developments is the introduction of ice cream mix-ins, allowing fans to enjoy a variety of rich and textured choices such as brownie chunks and real fruit pieces. By incorporating mix-ins into its ice cream, Halo Top aims to offer indulgent options while maintaining the nutritional value that its customers appreciate.
The new flavors include Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, featuring cookie dough chunks in a cookie dough-flavored ice cream base, and Chocolate Fudge Brownie, made with chocolate ice cream and chewy fudge brownie pieces. Other enticing options include Cherry Chocolate Chunk, Cookies & Brownies, Caramel Cookie Crunch, Strawberry Cheesecake, Sweet Cream Cold Brew, and P.B. Cookie Dough & Fudge, appealing to a wide range of taste preferences.
Overall, Halo Top’s new flavors promise a delightful indulgence with each spoonful, catering to fans of various flavor profiles.
The Cherry Chocolate Chunk flavor emerged as an unexpected surprise, proving to be the sleeper hit among the lineup. Its vibrant fruit notes and delightful chocolate chip inclusions caught the taster off guard, garnering high praise. Following closely behind were the P.B. Cookie Dough & Fudge and the Strawberry Cheesecake varieties, both of which were anticipated to be favorites. Despite a lighter texture compared to traditional ice cream, the mix-ins elevated the overall experience, delivering a satisfying balance of flavors, as noted by the reviewer.
Enthusiasts of Halo Top ice cream can anticipate the release of these new flavors as early as January in select stores. For those unable to locate them initially, a nationwide rollout is slated for March, ensuring wider availability across the country. Stay tuned for updates on these exciting additions to the Halo Top product range.
