Since 2012, Blue Bell has sold the special Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream flavor in areas known for the celebration. But after a high demand last year, the ice cream company decided to share the taste with everyone.
Mardi Gras King Cake flavor is made with a cinnamon cake flavored ice cream, tasty pastry pieces and a colorful cream cheese swirl with festive candy sprinkles.
The special treat is actually a combination of two previous flavors--Mardi Gras (2004) and King Cake (2006).
"We still receive requests for Mardi Gras and King Cake because our fans never forget a flavor," Carl Breed, corporate sales manager for Blue Bell, said. "But, you have the best of both worlds with our Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream."
