Baskin-Robbins' Trolli Sour Blast is a Sweet-Sour Summer Treat

— May 29, 2025 — Lifestyle
Trolli Sour Blast is Baskin-Robbins' June Flavor of the Month and Trolli’s first-ever ice cream collaboration with sour swirls. This bold, sweet and sour indulgence inspired by Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers gummi candy builds on a base of Trolli lime-flavored ice cream and orange-flavored sherbet with lime-flavored swirls.

Baskin-Robbins' candy-inspired lineup is available for a limited time and the Trolli Sour Blast is joined by other treats like the Trolli Sour Blast Fizz (a blend of the Trolli Sour Blast frozen treat with STARRY Lemon-Lime soda) and the a reinvented childhood favorite, Trolli Dirt ‘n Worms Sundae.

Candy captures a carefree essence that transcends age, and this summer, Baskin-Robbins is tapping into this nostalgia to create sweet, joyful experiences that resonate with both kids and adults alike.
