Sweet tea ice cream
McAlister’s Deli is taking their famous Sweet Tea into the ice cream space with the launch of McAlister's Deli Famous Sweet Tea Ice Cream.
Teaming up with artisanal ice cream brand Creamalicious, the limited-edition pint 'transforms the iconic beverage' into a 'rich, velvety ice cream featuring notes of sugar cookie and lemon swirls', the company said.
“We’re thrilled to put such a fun twist on our most iconic menu item and allow fans the opportunity to experience their favorite Sweet Tea in a new way,” said Courtney Bufford, Executive Chef at McAlister’s Deli. “With Creamalicious being known for transforming blissful Southern recipes into ice cream, we knew they were the perfect partner to collaborate on a unique confection out of our Famous Sweet Tea.”
The new dessert is churned with natural Black Tea, and has no artificial flavors or coloring.
“Creamalicious was born out of honoring traditional dessert recipes passed down for generations and churned to take people deep into the heart of the South where ice cream means connecting with loved ones over a spoonful of goodness,” said Creamalicious Owner and Executive Chef Liz Rogers. “McAlister’s Deli captures the essence of genuine hospitality, so we’re excited our Sweet Tea Ice Cream will be an extension of the authentic nature both brands embody.”
The pints will be available for $7.99 at participating McAlister’s Deli’s 500+ locations nationwide while supplies last. The limited-edition flavor will also be available through the Creamalicious website while supplies last.
