Summer time is meant for ice cream, the beach and the pool. New ice cream flavors also make summer time fun.

Turkey Hill is set to release seven new ice cream flavors to its already massive line up of ice cream. The new ice cream flavors will be from the "Late Night" collection. These 7 new flavors will also be offered in pint-sized containers versus the normal quart size containers that Turkey Hill makes.

The new late night line of new ice cream flavors from Turkey Hill are meant to be the cure for those late night ice cream cravings.
