Live From Ben And Jerry's It's Saturday Night Live Ice Cream
Are you ready for some crazy deliciousness? Ben and Jerry's ice cream is releasing four brand-new flavors in conjunction with Saturday Night Live's 40th anniversary. The newest flavors include "Lazy Sunday," based on the infamous Lonely Island sketch, as well as "Gilly's Catastrophic Crunch," inspired by the crazy, but well-meaning, bow-wearing girl played by Kristen Wiig, as well as two additional yet-to-be-announced flavors. We can't tell you yet about the other two, but a little birdie may have hinted that the remaining funny flavors will be announced in the next couple of months!
Lazy Sunday, of course, is based off of a love for delicious cupcakes. (Sorry, no red vines included!). The flavor features cake batter ice cream with chocolate and yellow cupcake pieces and chocolate frosting swirl.
And you won't be "sorry" about the decadent Gilly flavor, made with chocolate and sweet cream ice creams, with caramel clusters, fudge-covered almonds, and marshmallow swirl.
"Our fans have a great sense of humor and we share their affinity for the comic genius of Saturday Night Live," said Lisa Sholk, Ben and Jerry's Marketing Manager. "We loved the challenge of creating ice cream personalities for these iconic sketches."
Sadly, you won't be able to buy packaged pints of your favorite SNL flavor at the local grocery store, because these flavors are only available in scoop or pint form at Ben and Jerry's scoop shops across America. Stay tuned as the rest of the flavors roll out (fingers crossed for Stefon).
