The Inside Scoop: Blue Bell Ice Cream at the Silos

by Magnolia
Published on March 7, 2022

It’s a match made in Texas! We’ve teamed up with our friends at Blue Bell Ice Cream to create three flavors exclusive to Magnolia and only available here in Waco, Texas. Here's the inside scoop on each one:

When dreaming up flavors with Blue Bell, our food team wanted to churn out ice cream that celebrates our story. The result? Three flavors inspired by a few of our favorite places:

S’mores at the Silos: some of the greatest stories are enjoyed with s’mores around a campfire and the Silos are one of ours

Wacotown Vanilla: a sweet and simple ode to our hometown

Magnolia Press Chocolate Cake: a nod to one of our nostalgic signature treats served at Magnolia Press

S’mores at the Silos

milk chocolate ice cream with chocolate chunks + toasted marshmallow and graham cracker sauce swirl

Fun fact: The graham cracker sauce swirl is a first-time creation for Blue Bell in their 115-year history

Wacotown Vanilla

sweet and creamy vanilla ice cream

Wacotown Vanilla Ice Cream Blue Bell 1

Magnolia Press Chocolate Cake

dark chocolate and buttercream ice cream with chocolate cake pieces + chocolate icing swirl

It's an honor to serve such an iconic Texas brand on our grounds and we can't wait for you to come try a scoop (or two)! You can try Magnolia’s exclusive Blue Bell flavors at Magnolia Table or at the Silos at Magnolia Table at ConcessionsOpens in new tab and Maggie’s Sweet ShoppeOpens in new tab (try a scoop of Wacotown Vanilla in a float).

Where is this ice cream made?

All Blue Bell ice cream is made in Brenham, Texas. The company was founded in 1907 as the Brenham Creamery Company, and has been producing ice cream since 1911! It changed its name to the Blue Bell Creamery in 1930 after the bluebell wildflower, which proliferates all over Texas in the perfect season for ice cream—summer.
