Cold Stone Creamery Introduces New Silk Plant-Based Frozen Dessert

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Cold Stone Creamery® is teaming up with Silk® to introduce a brand new plant-based flavor, Silk® Chocolate Almondmilk Frozen Dessert.

Along with the new flavor, Cold Stone® is introducing the Don't Cry Over Spilled Silk Creation™, made with Silk® Chocolate Almondmilk Frozen Dessert, Banana, Peanut Butter and Roasted Almonds.

"We're absolutely thrilled that Cold Stone Creamery chose to work with Danone North America and the Silk brand to bring the ice cream parlor's first-ever plant-based frozen dessert to Cold Stone customers," said Derek Neeley, vice president of marketing for Silk, Danone North America. "Cold Stone's creativity and leadership in frozen desserts paired with our expertise in plant-based dairy alternatives and strong track record of delivering great taste and texture, is a powerful combination for bringing a delicious, plant-based dessert collaboration to frozen treat lovers across the country."

"Cold Stone is delighted to share our very first plant-based flavor," said Sara Schmillen, vice president of marketing for Kahala Brands™, parent company of Cold Stone Creamery. "We pride ourselves on our high flavor standards. It was important for us to innovate with an equally high quality and well-respected brand like Danone and their Silk Almondmilk product. As a result our new Silk® Chocolate Almondmilk Frozen Dessert delivers on a true ice cream experience – but not made with any dairy product. Plant-based has never tasted so good. We know our guests will agree!" 

Silk® Chocolate Almondmilk Frozen Dessert is now available at Cold Stone Creamery stores nationwide.
