"As part of our kick-off to summer, we wanted to put a fun twist on vanilla - one of the most popular ice cream flavors amongst our guests worldwide," said Stan Frankenthaler, Executive Chef and Vice President of Innovation at Dunkin' Brands.

• Toasted Marshmallow Chip (Premium Churned Light): Fluffy and gooey light toasted marshmallow-flavored ice cream with a chocolate marshmallow ribbon and chocolate chips.
• Pineapple Coconut (No Sugar Added): A "desserted island" treat, featuring reduced-fat pineapple and coconut-flavored ice cream, with chunks of pineapple.
