Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches has announced its biggest retail launch to date. Beginning this month, the Richmond, Virginia-based company’s indulgent creations will be available at Kroger supermarkets and the Kroger Co. grocery retail banners across the United States. As such, the sweet treats are now listed at over 2,400 Kroger stores, including Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Mariano’s, and Ralph’s.
Made with 14% butterfat ice cream, cookies, homemade inclusions, and all-natural, nut-free ingredients, these premium desserts are positioned as “redefining the frozen treat category.”
The Nightingale business began in 2016, when sous chef Hannah Pollack (now president and chief executive officer of the company), whose innovative creations caught the attention of her husband and Belgian-born Chef Xavier Meers. Together, they combined European culinary tradition with Southern charm to create a dessert that’s as sophisticated as it is nostalgic
.
Available flavors at Kroger include the following:
• Chocolate Blackout. Decadent chocolate brownie cookies, chocolate ganache swirl ice cream, and rich chocolate cake pieces.
• Cookie Monster. A playful combination of chocolate chip cookies and cookie-crumb-infused vanilla ice cream.
• Strawberry Shortcake. Golden brown sugar cookies paired with fresh strawberry ice cream for a fruity delight.
• Banana Pudding. A nostalgic Southern classic reimagined with golden brown sugar cookies, banana pudding and vanilla wafer layers.
• Mocha Brownie. Chocolate brownie cookies with ice cream steeped in roasted coffee.
“Growing up in Virginia, Kroger has been a go-to grocery store for me said Pollack. “It’s a dream come true to see Nightingale ice cream sandwiches on Kroger’s shelves, bringing our handcrafted treats to communities nationwide.”
