‘2 scoops of ranch, please’: Ice cream brand debuts new dressing flavor

If you’ve ever not been able to decide between a bowl of salad or a bowl of ice cream, you’re in luck.

In honor of National Ranch Day, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is partnering with Hidden Valley Ranch to debut new ranch dressing-favored ice cream.

While it may appear to be an unusual combination, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream says it offers a “surprisingly tasty twist on the sweet treat.”

“We’re so excited to debut this new series of flavors and unveil what is possibly our most surprising ice cream yet: Hidden Valley Ranch,” said Ben Van Leeuwen, Co-Founder and CEO of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. “We have done some creative collaborations and can’t wait for Walmart shoppers to try this new and exciting flavor along with our other Spring specials.”

“We know that Hidden Valley Ranch goes with just about everything – pizza, carrots, French fries – but ice cream is a first for us,” said Rachel Garrison, Associate Director at Hidden Valley Ranch. “We are so excited to partner with Van Leeuwen, the expert in limited-edition, premium flavors, to bring together this creamy mix of savory and sweet. Insider tip? Top your scoops with crushed pretzels or potato chips for a perfect salty crunch.”

The ranch-flavored ice cream is one of seven new flavors that will hit store shelves this spring.

The full lineup of new flavors includes Hidden Valley Ranch, Sweet Maple Cornbread, Blood Orange Chocolate Chip, Carrot Cake, Strawberry Shortcake, Honey Graham Cracker and Limoncello Cake.

Each flavor will be available at 3,500 Walmart locations across the country.
