Heinz ‘Creamz’ kits turn sauces into ice cream
Have you ever had a hankering for mayo-flavored ice cream?
If you’re among the minority, Heinz now sells do-it-yourself ice cream kits that allow people to turn some of their favorite sauces into a frozen dessert.
The company that’s best known for its ketchup and other condiments made the announcement July 1, kicking off National Ice Cream Month in the U.K.
The “Creamz” kits cost about $17 each, and they come with a sauce, a recipe card, a reusable ice cream tub and an engraved scoop and spoon.
Each kit also includes a full-size bottle of either ketchup, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, or salad cream.
No milk is provided in the kit, but there’s a sorbet option, so vegans craving savory sweets aren’t left out.
The ketchup flavor has sold out, according to the website.
Still, the company has added the complete recipe online for anyone daring enough to try it.
Right now, the kits are only available for purchasers in the U.K., with no current plans to bring the kits to America, a spokesperson Heinz told USA TODAY.
National Ice Cream Day in the U.S. is July 19.
