Santa Clarita resident Kelsey Lien is among the top 10 finalists competing in the Baskin-Robbins National Online Flavor Creation Contest. If her creation, Nutty Cream Cheese Brownie, wins, the new flavor will be available in Baskin-Robbins shops in July 2012.
The 10 finalists’ flavors are listed on the Baskin-Robbins website. Fans can visit the site to vote for their favorite ice cream creations through December 12. To vote, click here.
Each finalist will receive free ice cream for a year. The grand prize winner will have their flavor added to the Baskin-Robbins ice cream library and receive a trip to the Baskin-Robbins headquarters in Boston to spend a day bringing their ice cream flavor to life. The trip to Boston will include a three-night stay at a landmark Boston hotel and $1,000 in spending money.
From Oct. 1 through Oct. 21, virtual ice cream flavor entries were accepted on the Baskin-Robbins website. Nearly 40,000 consumers mixed and matched their own ingredients from a selection of 31 base flavors, a variety of ribbons, and a host of mix-ins. New base flavors and mix-ins available to the “dessert chefs” included Strawberry or Mango Yogurt, French Toast Ice Cream flavors; Oreo, Cherry, and Whipped Cream flavor ribbons; and Blondie Brownie, Golden Oreo, and chocolate covered cookie inclusions.
