As cooler weather approaches, your mindset may shift from ice cream and milkshakes to a hot cup of coffee and anything pumpkin-flavored. However, ice cream chains are proving that even as the cooler weather arrives, you can still enjoy frozen treats and all the flavors that come with the autumnal season. Leading the charge here is Dairy Queen with its cozy menu of fall favorites like the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard and Maple Cookie Shake.
But now, another chain is getting in on the fall fun with its latest releases. And it might just give DQ a run for its money. Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard has three new Concrete flavors that are must-trys this season.
Rita’s Fall Menu Has 2 New Concretes and 1 Returning Favorite
One of Rita’s fan-favorite menu items is the Concrete—a thick blend of its frozen custard mixed with various toppings and customizations. Whether you want to combine Oreo pieces and hot fudge with chocolate ice cream or peanut butter and Reese’s with vanilla ice cream, you can craft the dessert to your liking any time of year. Or you can take advantage of the chain’s seasonal offerings.
Rita’s
To get the Concrete in the autumn spirit, Rita’s has introduced three flavors to its menu for us to enjoy as we watch the leaves change colors around us. The first is a returning fan-favorite—the Pumpkin Pie Concrete. Made with vanilla frozen custard and blended with pumpkin crème and vanilla wafers, each spoonful will deliver the perfect taste of pumpkin spice and all things nice.
Next is a brand-new spin on a Rita’s classic. The Apple Butter Concrete features vanilla frozen custard, apple butter, vanilla wafers, and gooey apple pie filling. Because nothing says fall better than apples.
Finally, if you can’t choose between those two, Rita’s has you covered. The new Harvest Swirl Concrete mixes together the Pumpkin Pie and the Apple Butter Concretes into one, creamy, comforting treat to savor this season.
Rita’s announced the fall Concrete creations on Instagram, and fans were quick to react. “Oh I know what I’m doing asap!” one exclaimed. Another wrote, “Pumpkin pie is my favorite!” Even Jersey Mike’s joined the convo with a “we’re here for this” endorsement.
If you couldn’t stop thinking about the Pumpkin Pie Concrete since it was last on the menu, or are interested in trying out one of the new offerings, head to Rita’s ASAP! While the fall season has sprung quickly, these new flavors will only be available until Oct. 5 at participating locations while supplies last.
