Dunkin’ Donut ice-cream at Baskin-Robbins

Baskin-Robbins has released a new flavour of ice cream, inspired by Dunkin’ Donuts.

As two iconic US brands, it is little surprise that Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin’ Donuts love to collaborate. In fact, Baskin-Robbins sits under the Dunkin’ group brand, making partnerships particular easy.

The latest creation to have come from a Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins partnership is a selection of new ice cream flavours. Inspired by doughnuts and coffee, the flavours aim to bring the signature Dunkin’ Donuts taste to the rich and creaminess of Baskin-Robbins ice cream.

Customers can expect to enjoy three variations of coffee-flavoured ice cream. Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee has a classic coffee taste that instils the signature Dunkin’ Donuts flavour. Dunkin’ Donuts French Vanilla Coffee blends the coffee ice cream with a swirl of vanilla for a sweeter taste. Even sweeter is the Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Chocolate Chip, which is the signature coffee ice cream dotted with loads of chocolate flavoured chips.

These new flavours have been created by the team of chefs and food scientists at Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin’ Test kitchens, with the help of Boardwalk Frozen Treats.

They will be available to buy in 14oz tubs at a number of food retailers across the US. Set to be released in the spring, customers should keep their eyes peeled on their local supermarket’s freezer section.

Boardwalk Frozen Treats CEO says of the collaboration, “Baskin-Robbins has been an ice cream flavour innovator for over 70 years, and Dunkin’ Donuts is a US coffee leader. It’s the perfect combination that brings the brands’ premium ice cream and coffee flavours to even more consumers.”

This isn’t the first time that the two organisations have joined forces. Dunkin’ Donuts has produced ice coffee with Baskin-Robbins flavours and created desserts with ice cream sandwiched together by two doughnuts.

Founded in 1945 in California by a brother-in-law duo, Baskin-Robbins started by offering 31 ice cream flavours and now produces more than 1,300. It is the world’s largest chain of ice cream speciality shops and offering a delivery service for more than 600 locations in the US.
