Popular Ice Cream Flavor Returns to Stewart’s After 11 Years

Ice cream season is officially underway across the Hudson Valley, and to celebrate, the ice cream experts at Stewart's Shops are doing something they haven’t done since 2015.

A Fan Favorite Returns to Stewart's Shops

For the first time in more than a decade, Stewart’s Shops is bringing back a flavor that fans haven’t stopped asking about since it disappeared back in 2015.

Chocolate Buttered Almond ice cream is officially back!

According to Stewart’s, the beloved flavor is making an eleven-year comeback after a massive number of customers demanded it! Now, if you’ve never had it before, it's the perfect combination of salty and sweet.

Chocolate Buttered Almond features a rich chocolate ice cream base made with Stewart's award-winning best milk in New York, mixed with chunks of buttered almonds that deliver that perfect balance.

Right now, it’s available at the cone counter, meaning you can grab it in a cone, dish, milkshake, sundae, or have it hand-packed into a pint. But like most of Stewart’s limited flavors, it won’t be around forever.
