The SLC Scoop is just likeThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake City: salty and sweet!
The Rockefeller Center location was transformed with fake snow, glitter snowflakes andRHOSLCquotes as it invited VIP guests and media to get a taste of the ice cream. It featured a sign emblazoned with an adaptation ofHeather Gay’s iconic season four quote: “Receipts. Scoops. Timelines. Screenshots.”
PEOPLE was on-hand for the event, and got to taste the flavor.
The SLC Scoop is a purple-colored lavender ice cream with salted caramel pieces.
“We’re excited to partner withThe Real Housewives of Salt Lake Cityto create a flavor that reflects the fun nature of the show,” co-founder and CEO Ben Van Leeuwen shared in a statement. “We can’t wait for fans to try this limited-edition ice cream that brings together ingredients as dynamic and unforgettable as the show itself!”

The three housewives at the event loved the flavor.
Katsanevas says her favorite ice cream flavor is bubblegum, but she was excited to get into a more sophisticated flavor. “I’ve never been a salty ice cream girl, but this one with the caramel looks sweet and salty, so it’s perfect.”
While Bronwyn Newport loved the amount of salt and the lavender flavor of the treat, she acknowledged one discrepancy between herself and the ice cream. “I think it could be a little saltier if it was going to portray me, but as an average of the cast, it’s a good amount of salty,” she says.
So how does the ice cream fare for the average taster?
It’s sweet, with a vanilla-tasting base. Lavender comes through at the end, but it’s subtle enough for someone who doesn’t typically enjoy at the flowery flavor (like this taste tester). Those salt and caramel flavors add a new dimension, though some more salted caramel pieces would make it all the better.
Still, the consistency is creamy, and the ice cream doesn’t melt too quickly. Plus, the pretty lavender color adds to the experience. All and all, an ice cream that leads up to its name.
Fans hoping to try the limited-edition SLC Scoop can visit a Van Leeuwen shop nationwide.
