2025 IDFA Award

Lavender Lemon Butter Cookie: Winner of the “Most Innovative Ice Cream Flavor” at the 2025 Ice Cream & Cultured Innovation Conference 

Frostline Crafted Collective’s™ Lavender Lemon Butter Cookie took home top honors in this year’s ultimate flavor showdown— where the most exciting new and prototype ice cream and novelty products competed for national recognition. 

Hosted by the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and co-sponsored by Dairy Foods magazine, the annual competition celebrates cutting-edge creativity in frozen treats and is voted on by industry professionals. 

So, what makes this flavor a standout? 

It’s all about balance: rich, buttery shortbread meets delicate lavender floral notes and ends with a pop of bright lemon zest. The result is a sophisticated, refreshing flavor experience that feels both familiar and elevated. 

When made with Frostline^® Premium Vanilla Flavored Dairy Based Soft Serve & Shake Mix, it delivers a luxuriously creamy and smooth texture—an exceptional quality that’s rare in a dry mix. 

According to 2025 trend forecasts, floral flavors—especially lavender—are on the rise, with projected growth continuing over the next four years. Frostline Crafted Collective™ was ahead of the curve, delivering a flavor that’s not just on-trend, but exceptionally well-executed.
