Ben & Jerry’s Lights! Caramel! Action! Ice cream: Flavor, price, and other details explored

Ben & Jerry’s newly announced flavor was created through a partnership with the acclaimed filmmaker and TV producer Ava DuVernay. The producer worked with the chain's chefs to create a special flavor profile by combining Graham Crackers and Cookie Dough for the upcoming Lights! Caramel! Action! ice cream.

The new flavor, which will hit stores starting January 2023, will also be available with vegan alternatives, which are made with non-dairy almond milk and taste extremely similar to dairy-based ice cream flavors. Customers will be able to grab new flavors at their nearest grocery stores, or at the chain's scoop shops spread across the country.

Speaking to the press about her partnership with Ben & Jerry’s, DuVernay said:

“I had the opportunity to work with food scientists to create a flavor with all the ingredients that I personally love for a cause close to my heart. Beyond being downright delicious, proceeds from Lights! Caramel! Action! will help ARRAY Alliance further its non-profit mission of inclusion and belonging in the film and TV industries. A worthy and delicious endeavor."

Matthew McCarthy, the Chief Executive Officer of Ben & Jerry’s stated:

"We are humbled by this partnership, impressed by her work sharing not only the struggle but the joy in the justice, and we are inspired by her commitment and vision.”

Ben & Jerry’s Lights! Caramel! Action! is a vanilla-based ice cream with exciting twists

Working towards helping communities get social justice, Ben & Jerry’s and DuVernay have been trying to ensure that all members of society are treated equally and have access to equal opportunities. Through their upcoming partnership, the two of them want to work towards advancing social justice through art, amplifying and elevating the work of artists of color and female directors.

All proceeds from the Lights! Caramel! Action! ice cream will benefit the producer's nonprofit, ARRAY Alliance, working towards the same cause.

Speaking of the upcoming flavors, the ice cream chain is placing its bets on the classic vanilla, which will be presented with a few spins and exciting twists.
