Global NPD: boozy lollies and frozen custard hit the US

USA: Alcohol Infused Ice Cream

Sorry kids, BuzzBar’s Citrus Berry Drop is for adults. For starters, it’s got real booze in it. This alcohol infused product comprises raspberry lemon drop sorbet with lemon vodka on a stick ($5.49/£3.68).

Germany: Spaghetti ice cream

Don’t worry; it’s not actually made of spaghetti! This playful dish (€1.59/ £1.15) is famous on the continent, featuring vanilla ice cream with a strawberry sauce and white chocolate flake decoration to look like a savoury pasta dish.

Canada: Popping Pops

Are the kids left unimpressed by regular ice lollies? Nestlé has added some bang to its range thanks to these flavoured ice pops with a popping candy core (CAD 4.49/£2.46).

Sweden: Peach & Jalapeno Ice Cream

Peach and jalapeno ice cream might sound crazy to some, but Sia Glass doesn’t seem to think so. It’s launched a sweet and spicy dessert perfect for those looking for a kick from their ice cream. It retails in a 500ml tub at SEK 15.90/£1.40.

Thailand: Green Tea Kit Kat Ice Cream

Kit Kats come in weird and wonderful flavours across the globe, from roasted sweet potato to ginger ale. This applies to the brand’s ice cream offerings as well, having launched a green tea ice cream cone (THB 60.00/£1.28 for 2 x 80g cones).

Germany: Lemon Ice Cream on a Liquorice Stick

Hate devouring an ice lolly only to be left with struggling to find a bin for the stick? U! Confronta & Risparmia has solved this dilemma by using an edible liquorice stick. The product retails in a 450g pack containing six lollies for €1.89/£1.36.

Japan: Vanilla Ice Cream Drink

Lotte Coolish has launched a vanilla ice cream drink (140 YEN/£0.79 for a 140ml pack), for those who prefer to slurp their ice cream out of a tube. It can be eaten as a snack or on the go.

USA: Frozen Pineapple Banana Lassi

Yoghurt made healthier, according to manufacturer Monsieur Singh. This Frozen Pineapple Lassi ($6.99/£4.69) is described as a successful arranged marriage of probiotic yoghurt, juicy pineapple and nourishing bananas. It contains rejuvenating holy basil and cinnamon.

USA: Chocolate Malt Frozen Custard

Described as a classic American treat, Chocolate Malt Frozen Custard ($3.89/£2.61) is extra thick and creamy. It’s made with fresh milk and contains no artificial flavours, according to Nestlé Dreyer.

Mexico: Tamarind Sorbet

Royale’s artisan sorbet has a bittersweet tamarind flavour, and contains no artificial preservatives of artificial colours. It may be a premium product but the exchange rate works wonders for it – a 454ml pack retails at MXN 21.55 (£0.94).
