Kid-Created Ice Cream Flavors Win A Spot On Owowcow's Menu

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Fans of Owowcow are in for a treat throughout the month of May.

Five new ice cream flavors whipped up by kids as part of the ice cream store’s Kids Flavor Contest are on the menu at all of its stores with a portion of the proceeds benefiting a number of local nonprofits.

“A big thank you to everyone who submitted their dream ice cream flavor to our Kid’s Flavor Contest! We received so many fun and creative submissions,” said the folks at the Bucks County-based ice cream maker, ranked as one of the best ice cream shops in America.

“Since you are all winners in our eyes, any kiddo who participated in the contest can stop by their local shop to receive a temporary ice cream cone tattoo (color it in to make your dream flavor!) and a free mini scoop!”

This year’s five winning flavors include Mango Daiquiri Sorbet, Slimer’s Swirl, Stroop-There-It-Is, Thai Tea Black Sesame Brittle and Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza.

Mango Daiquiri Sorbet is the winner of the Fruits & Veggies theme. It comes from the awesome mind of Grayson from Chalfont. The sorbet is a tropical fruity blend of Mango Lime sorbet with fresh pineapple chunks (GF and vegan). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Mango Daiquiri Sorbet during the month of May will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County.

Slimer’s Swirl is an ooey gooey flavor from the imagination of Harrison (and his sister) from Wrightstown! A nod to the iconic slimy green ghost, this ice cream features Green Mint with swirls of gooey marshmallows and chocolatey fudge. (GF). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Slimer’s Swirl during the month of May will benefit the Bucks County SPCA.

Stroop-There-It-Is comes from Easton’s very own Allison. The creamiest Milk Chocolate ice cream is stuffed with chocolate cookie crumbles, chocolate covered waffle cone crunchies and a SunButter
caramel swirl. A portion of the proceeds from Stroop-There-It-Is during the month of May will benefit Girls on the Run Lehigh Valley.

Thai Tea Black Sesame Brittle is a sweet and slightly spiced Thai Tea ice cream combined with swirls of crunchy black sesame seed brittle. (GF). A portion of the proceeds during the month of May will benefit the Bucks County SPCA.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pizza is a Belly Buster flavor from the sweet mind of Sadie from Ottsville. It’s made with Sweet Honey Cream ice cream and is chock full of chocolate chip cookie dough, white chocolate frosting stracciatella and an explosion of rainbow confetti sprinkles. A portion of the proceeds during the month of May will be donated to the Revivals Outreach Center in Perkasie, a ministry where Sadie serves in the soup kitchen with her dad.

“Every year, the kids surprise the ice cream maker with their creativity. And the flavors turn out amazing," said Owowcow's managing director Shira Tizer Wade. "The kids are so incredibly creative. It's always super hard to choose winners!"

Winners are treated to a number of prizes, including a limited edition t-shirt, a fancy trophy, and a free ice cream sampling with friends and family. In addition to fun prizes, Owowcow is also donating a portion of May sales to a nonprofit of the winner's choice.

“This is such a great way for kids to express their creativity," said Wade. "They get to imagine and create their very own dream flavor of ice cream and then name and draw it. And if they win, we will make their dream ice cream and serve it in all of our shops all May long!"

Since 2009 the local creamery has been hand-crafting super-premium ice cream from scratch using local organic and natural ingredients that support local agriculture.

Its ice cream cases hold 24 flavors of ice cream including 12 signature core flavors that the creamery makes year-round at all stores. The other spots are filled with monthly specials and seasonal favorites, along with dairy-free sorbet and vegan ice cream.

Owowcow has locations in Ottsville, Chalfont, Easton, Wrightstown and Lambertville, New Jersey.
