Blue Bell brings back fan favorite ice cream… but there's a catch
Ice cream enthusiasts are rejoicing over the return of Blue Bell Creameries' Cookie Cake Ice Cream. The fan-favorite treat returned to stores last week, one year after being named runner-up in the brand's Great Scoop Revival Flavor Tournament. 'The flavor is a sweet cream ice cream loaded with chocolate chip cookie cake pieces and swirls of chocolate and vanilla icing,' an Instagram post read. Fans, including well-known food blogger Snackolator, were thrilled to learn the 'amazing' treat is back in freezers. Unfortunately, they were disappointed to learn the flavor is only available for a limited time. 'I'm literally begging you to reconsider this "limited time" thing,' an Instagram user wrote. 'Thank you bluebell - now let's make it a flavor available year round,' another fan responded. Others have already stocked up on the item and have requested the brand bring back peach cobbler or confetti cake ice cream next. Blue Bell's Cookie Cake Ice Cream debuted in stores six years ago and was removed in 2020. The sweet treat, featuring chocolate chip cookie cake pieces and swirls of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, instantly became a must-have flavor. While the flavor was the brand's contest runner-up, it was a close race, leading to Blue Bell's decision to rerelease it this year. Instagrammers also gave a shoutout to that year's winner, Groom's Cake Ice Cream. Groom's Cake was returned to stores on May 1 and remains available for purchase at retailers nationwide. Unfortunately, like Cookie Cake, this flavored ice cream is only available for a limited time. Both ice creams were selected from a bracket of 16 Blue Bell brand flavors. Other flavors that had the chance to win a store return include Blueberry Cheesecake, Lemon Bliss, and Tiramisu. Blue Bell's ice cream is not the only cookie-themed treat to hit shelves this year. Post Malone partnered with Oreo and released limited-edition salted caramel and shortbread-flavored cookies in February. A-list star Selena Gomez, with a little help from fiancé Benny Blanco, released a signature Oreo last month to celebrate her Mexican-American heritage. The cookie features chocolate-cinnamon flavored wafers and chocolate-cinnamon cream. Other cookies that made headlines for debuts and returns include Jimmy John's Lemon Sunshine Cookie and Costco's new cookie variety.

Retired Blue Bell ice cream flavor returns after nationwide vote. What to know
A beloved Blue Bell ice cream flavor is back in the freezer aisle, thanks to fans. Groom's Cake is returning to stores after winning The Great Scoop Revival Flavor Tournament, marking the end of its retirement, Blue Bell said in a May 1 news release. The frozen treat, featuring milk chocolate ice cream blended with chocolate cake pieces, chocolate-coated strawberry hearts and swirls of strawberry sauce and chocolate icing, bested Cookie Cake Ice Cream to win the competition, according to the Texas-based creamery. Ice cream lovers can buy Groom's Cake by the pint or half gallon for a limited time, though Blue Bell didn't say for how long. Pricing information wasn't immediately available. For the tournament, Blue Bell invited fans to vote for the chance to revive a retired flavor, according to the release. What began as 16 'carefully chosen' creations was soon whittled down to two: Groom's Cake and runner-up Cookie Cake. 'We are excited to have Groom's Cake back in stores this year,' Kelli Remmert, marketing communications manager for Blue Bell, said in the release. 'It is always difficult to say goodbye to an ice cream flavor that you love.' The flavor debuted in 2009 but was discontinued in stores nine years later, the company said. Due to an 'overwhelming response,' Cookie Cake will also return to shelves later in May, according to Blue Bell. The dessert is made with sweet cream ice cream, combined with chocolate chip cookie cake pieces and swirls of chocolate and vanilla icing. Blue Bell said it plans to hold another flavor tournament soon.
