FAVOURITE ICE CREAM:
Mahalia - Maple Almond: Has my heart, sweet, nutty and a little bit tangy. It doesn’t need anything to spruce it up. It’s perfect just the way it is. Maple almond never lets me down.
Chad – Cookies & Cream: Sometimes when I need a change in flavor and taste I would go for Strawberry Cheesecake or vanilla. But my first choice would and always be Cookies & Cream.
Kris – Midnight Cookies & Cream – This is my go to. Sometimes my mood will change and may flirt with Cookies & Cream or Strawberry Cheesecake but always come back to the main.
Russell – Cookies & Cream My Fav Frosteez Ice Cream is Cookies & Cream. It’s both Vanilla and Chocolate while there’s the extra crunch from the cookies. Perfect combo.
