South Dakota State Raspberry Cheesecake

Represented by: Shannon Seifert, dairy producer, Minnesota

Q. Why did you select your flavor?
While South Dakota State University is home to Cookies & Cream Ice Cream, they also produce over 90 other flavors. Raspberry Cheesecake is a delicious marrying of smooth ribbons of raspberry revel and rich cheesecake ice cream; plus it’s made from milk from the cows of the SDSU Dairy Herd!

Q. Why should readers vote for your flavor?
Support a great, rich ice cream, produced by students, from South Dakota Cows, on campus which is increasing its support of the dairy industry! SDSU Raspberry Cheesecake ROCKS!

Blue Bell Buttered Pecan

Represented by Dario Martinez, El Lechero Editor, Texas native, Idaho transplant

Q. Why did you select your flavor?
Usually Texas summers are well, blazing, to say the least! During these summer days I always stick to a classic treat – Blue Bell’s Buttered Pecan ice cream! I selected this flavor because it combines a deliciously sweet ice cream with roasted pecan halves that always send my taste buds reeling!

Q. Why should readers vote for your flavor?
Many ice cream flavors come and go. Others, like this one, stand the test of time due to its “yum-factor”. Vote for this flavor – it may become one of your favorites!
