Blue Bell making Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream available locally - WKYT

BRENHAM, Texas (WKYT) - Blue Bell Ice Cream is rolling out a new flavor: Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream.

"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 dessert is made with a cinnamon cake-flavored ice cream, pieces of pastry, green cream cheese swirl and purple candy sprinkles. It's a combination of two previous flavors, Mardi Gras and King Cake.

"We still receive requests for Mardi Gras and King Cake because our fans never forget a flavor," Breed said. "But, you have the best of both worlds with our Mardi Gras King Cake Ice Cream."

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