Cold Stone Creamery launches plated dessert line

February 1, 2011

Cold Stone Creamery seems to be cornering the indulgence market as of late. The chain, which recently introduced a yogurt bar concept, today rolled out a new plated dessert line.

The plated desserts are available in four options highlighted by classics such as brownies, churros and funnel cakes served alongside Cold Stone ice cream. The items are served warm and are ideal for sharing.

“The plated desserts bring desserts that are rarely seen in the restaurant space, such as churros and funnel cakes, and brings elegance and a whimsical flair to these decadent treats,” said Suzanne Schutz, vice president of marketing for Cold Stone Creamery. “The four options are the perfect indulgence a la Cold Stone.”

Through April 30, 2011, the new dessert line will be available at the introductory price of $4.99. The four Creations include:

• Brownie A La Cold Stone: Warm chocolate brownies smothered with French Vanilla ice cream and topped with whipped topping, caramel, hot fudge and pecans.
• Churro Caramel Crave: Crispy churros rolled in cinnamon and sugar, smothered with French Vanilla ice cream and topped with caramel and whipped topping.
• Chocolate Lava Meltdown: Warm chocolate cake filled with hot fudge, then topped with French Vanilla ice cream, fudge, whipped topping and shaved chocolate.
• No Fair Funnel Cake: Freshly baked, sweet funnel cake dusted with powdered sugar, surrounded by strawberries and topped with French Vanilla ice cream, strawberry puree and whipped topping.

In addition to the new plated desserts line, Cold Stone Creamery is extending the Gold Cone collection, a monthly rotation of ice cream flavors, in 2011. The first Gold Cone flavor of the year is back by popular demand from last Valentine’s Day, Chocolate Dipped Strawberry.

In March, Cold Stone is introducing a new flavor of the unique no-melt ice cream line, Pistachio JELL-O Pudding. April’s Gold Cone ice cream flavor is Peach Iced Tea.
