Halo Top® Expands Keto-Friendly Frozen Desserts with New On-the-Go Keto Pops

LE MARS, Iowa, March 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the debut of Halo Top's "Keto Series" in early 2020, the frozen dessert maker is adding a satisfying, on-the-go option to the delicious keto-friendly lineup: new Keto Pops! The conveniently portioned pops are available in four decadent flavors including Sea Salt Caramel, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Berry Swirl and Chocolate Cheesecake —all of which are dipped in a rich chocolate-flavored coating.

Just like Halo Top's "Keto Series" pints, new Keto Pops are made with creamy, protein-packed ultra-filtered skim milk, which delivers fewer net carbs than regular ice cream and addresses a broad range of dietary needs. With net carbs ranging from two to three grams per pop, fans can enjoy an indulgent dessert without sacrificing wellness goals.

"We created our Keto Series so ice cream fans could enjoy a delicious treat while keeping wellness goals on track, and new Keto Pops do just that for on-the-go dessert lovers," said Chelsea Parker, Halo Top's senior marketing manager. "The new Keto Pops and pints aren't just for those looking to lower their carb or sugar intake, but for anyone who wants to enjoy a tasty dessert."

Halo Top Keto Pops come in four delicious flavors:

• Sea Salt Caramel: Get your sweet and salty fix in one dessert! The classic combination of sea salt and caramel can now be enjoyed on-the-go with a mix of smooth vanilla frozen dessert and swirls of sea salt caramel, dipped in chocolate flavored coating. Calories/pop: 130, Protein/pop: 3g, Net carbs/pop: 2g
• Peanut Butter Chocolate: One of life's best flavor combos come together in this delicious peanut butter frozen dessert, with peanut butter chips and swirls of fudge dipped in a chocolate flavored coating. Calories/pop: 180, Protein/pop: 3g, Net carbs/pop: 3g
• Berry Swirl: Fruit lovers, rejoice! This pop is filled with light berry frozen dessert and dipped in a chocolate flavored coating, with swirls of blueberry and strawberry syrups for an extra burst of fruity sweetness. Calories/pop 130, Protein/pop: 3g, Net Carbs/pop: 2g
• Chocolate Cheesecake: This decadent dessert now comes in frozen pop form with creamy chocolate cheesecake flavored frozen dessert with swirls of fudge, all covered in a rich chocolate flavored coating.  Calories/pop: 160, Protein/pop: 3g, Net carbs/pop: 2g

In addition to the new, convenient Keto Pops, Halo Top also introduces three new flavors inspired by classic desserts to its lineup of Keto Series Pints, with net carbs between four and 10 grams per pint:

• Brownie a la Mode: Rich vanilla-flavored flavored frozen dessert swirled with fudge and delectable brownie pieces in a delicious keto-friendly twist of this classic dessert. Calories/pint: 520, Protein/pint: 19g, Net carbs/pint: 10g
