- Date Night, floral date ice cream with a goji berry swirl;
- Tahini in a Bottle, a tahini-almond base with both pomegranate/raspberry and chocolate swirls;
- Funky Monkey, a banana, goat cheese, cream cheese, gorgonzola cheese, and brie cheese base with apricot and graham cracker pieces.
Rose Ritter, Herrell’s kitchen manager, told BusinessWest.com that they “are very impressed with all these flavors. They were fun to recreate, and we can’t wait for our customers to try them.”
Judy Herrell, the owner of Herrell’s Ice Cream, expressed that “the UMass Food Science Department Ice Cream Competition is a fun way to learn food chemistry, and Herrell’s feels grateful and thrilled to be a partner in the project. Congratulations to the five teams from the University of Massachusetts and their creative, fun, delicious flavors.”
