US-based ice cream chain Cold Stone Creamery has expanded its menu offerings to include new flavours ahead of the autumn season in the US.

The new offerings include the Pumpkin Bread Batter Ice Cream and the Caramel Apple Ice Cream.

The new autumn-inspired flavours will be available on their own or in a Creation and can be purchased in-store or online.

The company noted that its Frosted Pumpkin Bread is prepared with pumpkin bread batter ice cream, caramel, graham cracker pie crust, cream cheese frosting and a touch of pumpkin pie spice.

The brand's Classic Caramel Apple Pie flavour features Caramel Apple Ice Cream on a layer of caramel in a graham cracker pie crust and caramel frosting.

Kahala Brands national programmes vice-president Jana Schneider said: “At Cold Stone Creamery, we love to take popular desserts and reimagine them as ice cream flavours and Creations.

“Cozy fall desserts made with apple, caramel, pumpkin and cinnamon really got our team excited to create some recipes for our guests. Our new Caramel Apple Ice Cream is the perfect combination of buttery sweet caramel and crisp apple.

“As the weather starts to turn, it hits just right. And we just had to bring back Pumpkin Bread Batter Ice Cream as it was such a hit with ice cream lovers last year. These two ice cream flavours are quintessentially fall.”

Cold Stone Creamery is part of Kahala Brands, which has a portfolio of around 30 fast-casual and quick-service restaurant (QSR) brands, with nearly 3,000 located across 35 countries.

The company noted that its new seasonal flavours, Creations and the Classic Caramel Apple Pie will be available across all of its US locations until 28 November 2023.
