Herrell’s Ice Cream Announces Winners from What’s Your Flavor Idea? Contest

NORTHAMPTON — In February, Herrell’s asked customers to join in its annual “What’s Your Flavor Idea?” contest, which ran in both Herrell’s Ice Cream locations: 83 Cowls Road (Mill District), North Amherst, and 8 Old South St., (Thornes Marketplace), Northampton.

The winning flavors are:

• Northampton: Polar Bear Poop (vanilla ice cream with cookie dough pieces and marshmallow swirl); and

• Amherst: Mango Lassi (inspired by the drink, hard-packed frozen yogurt containing mango and cardamom).

“We have chosen the winning flavors Polar Bear Poop and Mango Lassi, and they will be served starting on April 24,” owner Judy Herrell said. “This year, we had a huge volume of entries and had several possible winners to make into ice cream to test. People have delicious ideas.”

AddedRose Ritter, Herrell’s Ice Cream making and kitchen manager, “we received wonderfully innovative flavor combinations to try. It was tough choosing winners. We really love it when our community engages with us to make flavor history.”
