Kraft Macaroni & Cheese is teaming up with Brooklyn’s Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Company, known for their premium ingredient and delicious vegan ice cream with just a few ingredients,. This indulgent and special frozen is made with no artificial flavors, preservatives, or dyes.
“We know that there is nothing more refreshing on a hot summer day than ice cream. That is why we wanted to combine two of the most iconic comfort foods to create an ice cream with the unforgettable flavor of KraftMacaroni & Cheese we all grew up with,” said Emily Violett, Sr. Associate Brand Manager for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. “As big fans of Van Leeuwen, we knew they’d be the perfect partner to create this ice cream with us. Not only does it taste delicious, but it’s also made with high quality ingredients and contains no artificial flavors, preservatives, or dyes just like our Kraft Macaroni & Cheese.”

And the folks from Eater happened to be able to grab some before it sold out. They said it tastes pretty good! The Eater review states, “The cheese powder combines with Van Leeuwen’s rich base, made with milk, cream, and sugar, to produce a buttery flavor that’s only slightly cheesy.” And proceeded to finish half the pint.
Where can you get Kraft Mac and Cheese Ice Cream?
According to Kraft Heins press release: “The Kraft Macaroni & Cheese ice cream will be available online for order on vanleeuwenicecream.com while supplies last at a cost of $12 for a pint starting at 11am ET on July 14.
