DALLAS, April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Friendly's®, a Dean Foods Company (NYSE: DF) brand, is launching Friendly's Dessert Cups, a line of individually-sized and decadent treats inspired by dessert classics, just in time for summer. The deconstructed desserts are packaged in paper cups with clear dome lids, which allows for consumers to see a tower of whipped topping and other toppings.

With multi-textured layers, these treats are bringing true innovation to the frozen food aisle and are perfect for making every occasion tastier and friendlier, whether indulging at home or sharing a variety of flavors with family and friends.
