DALLAS, April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Friendly's®, a Dean Foods Company (NYSE: DF)
brand, is launching Friendly's Dessert Cups, a line of
individually-sized and decadent treats inspired by dessert
classics, just in time for summer. The deconstructed desserts are
packaged in paper cups with clear dome lids, which allows for
consumers to see a tower of whipped topping and other
toppings. A proprietary production process enables Friendly's
to layer as many as six distinct ingredients for each variety such
as ice cream, cake and pie crust bits, vanilla wafer crumbles, and
fruit pieces. With multi-textured layers, these treats are bringing
true innovation to the frozen food aisle and are perfect for making
every occasion tastier and friendlier, whether indulging at home or
sharing a variety of flavors with family and
friends.
"With the success of our Friendly's Sundae Cup lineup, we saw an
opportunity to create an even more sophisticated and
innovative offering for the ultimate indulgence," said Mark Schneider, Marketing Director, Ice Cream,
Dean Foods. "By layering the best ingredients from traditional
classic desserts into delicious individual mashups, we're
delivering deconstructed dessert classics that satisfy our
consumers' craving for variety, while amplifying the taste and
quality they've come to expect from Friendly's."
With up to six layers of various toppings and flavors, these
delectable 8.5oz cups have something to offer every palate and are
the first of their kind in the Friendly's ice cream family of
products. The six new flavors include Banana Cream Pie, Strawberry
Shortcake, Chocolate-Peanut Butter Fudge, Blackberry Peach Pie,
