I grew up going to the iconic @serendipity3nyc restaurant so I couldn’t be more excited to join the ownership team. In honor of the release of ICE CREAM with @blackpinkofficial , I created Cookies and Cream Remix… made with pink vanilla ice cream as a nod to the girls!

In her Instagram account, Selena posted a video announcing the flavor.

“Basically it’s heaven and every bite is delicious,” Gomez said in the video.

“Growing up and loving the iconic Serendipity restaurant, I couldn’t be more excited to become a partner in their expanding brand,” said Gomez said in a press statement.

“For the Cookies & Cream remix, I wanted to put my own personal spin on this classic flavor by making it with pink vanilla ice cream as a nod to my girls Blackpink and celebrate our new song ‘Ice Cream'.”

Sal Pesce, President and Chief Operating Officer of Serendipity Brands, said Selena is the perfect partner and flavor engineer for the brand.

“As a forever fan of our brand, Selena brings a fresh perspective and a whole new set of fans to help us take over the decadent ice cream category with our innovative, indulgent mixes,” Sal said.

Selena and Blackpink’s “Ice Cream” will be released on August 28. Cookies & Cream Remix will be also available on the collaboration release date.
