Ingredients and considerations for allergy sufferers

The strawberry ice cream that makes up the sandwiches is made with milk, cream, sugar, and strawberry purée, combined with stabilizers and thickeners that guarantee its creamy texture. The sugar cookies are prepared with brown sugar, enriched wheat flour, vegetable oil, eggs, and leavening agents that provide the characteristic volume and softness. This mix of ingredients ensures an authentic and pleasant flavor, with a balance between sweetness and freshness.

It's important to keep in mind that this product contains common allergens, such as wheat, eggs, soy, and milk, so it's not suitable for people with allergies to these ingredients. It may also contain traces of sesame, so caution is recommended for those who are sensitive to this nut. This information allows people to enjoy the product safely and responsibly, without unpleasant surprises.

Nightingale Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Sandwiches arrive at Costco as a refreshing and delicious option for this summer. Perfect for sharing or enjoying individually, they represent a practical and delicious alternative to traditional desserts, ensuring sweet moments under the summer sun.
