Ida’s Artisan Ice Cream and Treats is celebrating one year at the Museum of Ice Cream (MOIC)-Chicago with the introduction of new ice cream flavors that incorporate Pop-Tarts.
Ida’s new creations can be found exclusively at MOIC Chicago:
- Very Berry Strawberry: Features Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts infused into strawberry flavored ice cream with real strawberry bits for a crazy good explosion of strawberry.
- Cupcake Funfetti: Features Frosted Confetti Cupcake Pop-Tarts immersed with sprinkles and party magic into a cupcake-flavored ice cream.
Erin Levzow, chief marketing officer at Museum of Ice Cream, said, "Ida's Artisan Ice Cream and Treats has become a beacon of inspiration in Chicago and beyond. Ida is not only devoted to crafting the world's most delightful ice cream but is equally passionate about uplifting her community. Her mission involves bringing valuable resources, experiences, and opportunities to the area, and she has taken steps to actively contribute to the community's growth by hiring youth employees. Her focus on connection within her community is what makes her a pillar of our Museum of Ice Cream - Chicago location."
Ida Nelson said, "My vision is that the ice cream is a conduit in changing the narrative of the Chicago community, increasing representation of people of color in the ice cream industry and inspiring others to ‘work, plan, build and dream,’ in that order. I am grateful to have found partners such as Museum of Ice Cream and Kellanova who are supporting this dream of mine and are helping to promote important narratives surrounding being a Black female business owner."
Michelle Barnes, director of foodservice commercial strategy, Kellanova Away From Home, said, "Kellanova Away From Home is thrilled to partner with Ida Nelson and Ida’s Artisan Ice Creams as a food service partner to celebrate the one-year milestone at the Museum of Ice Cream with creative Pop-Tarts ice cream flavors. These exclusive offerings for Black History Month exemplify the spirit of innovation that both Ida and Kellanova share, and we look forward to creating better days together through our shared values and passion for great food experiences."
