Porsche launches limited-edition ice cream pops inspired by custom paint colors

MANILA: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. has launched limited-edition ice cream pops inspired by Porsche paint colors in celebration of National Ice Cream Day on Sunday, July 17.

In partnership with Pretty Cool Ice Cream, a Chicago-based small-batch creamery, five ice cream pops were made with eye-catching packaging: Mint Green (a green mint cookies-and-cream ice cream with a mint-green white chocolate shell), Strawberry Red (cream cheese ice cream dipped in a strawberry red shell), Macadamia Metallic (roasted macadamia ice cream in a sparkling macadamia metallic-colored chocolate shell), Frozen Berry Metallic (black raspberry ice cream in a sparkling frozen berry-colored Ruby chocolate shell), and Lime Gold Metallic (key lime pie ice cream in a sparkling lime gold-colored caramel shell).

In a statement, Porsche Cars North America Vice President of Marketing Ayesha Coker said, “This has been a fun project and one we hope will evoke a smile, just like the customizable colors available on all of our cars. We genuinely thought there weren’t many things cooler than one of our special colors for your dream Porsche, but this ice cream might just have that beat. Pretty Cool Ice Cream has been as meticulous and passionate as we are about getting the color just right — and on top of that they’ve come up with delicious flavors to match. We hope Porsche fans and enthusiasts of all ages will enjoy the ice cream as much as we’ve loved creating it!”

“My uncle, 'Targa Dan,' has always had a passion for restoring Porsche cars and has brought over 200 cars back to life over the last 50 years, so I grew up very close to the brand,” Pretty Cool Ice Cream Owner Dana Salls Cree said. “When Porsche reached out to me to make some custom ice cream inspired by the paint colors, I was thrilled. Similar to all Porsche sports cars, the ice cream pops are truly a passion project that I couldn’t be more excited to share.”

The ice cream pops will be available on July 17 at the Pretty Cool Lincoln Park store in Chicago. The custom ice cream pops will also be offered at exclusive Porsche events later this year.
