Turkey Hill’s Graham Slam ice cream is back after a five year break much to the delight of ice cream lovers in Pennsylvania and beyond. As both a long-time fan of Graham Slam myself and as someone who covers food trends I’m thrilled to see the return of this fan favorite flavor. In this article, I’ll give an overview of Graham Slam ice cream for the uninitiated, provide some history on why it went away and has now returned, and share details on where you can get your hands on this delicious treat.
An Overview of Graham Slam Ice Cream
For those unfamiliar with it, Graham Slam is an ice cream produced by the Pennsylvania-based Turkey Hill Dairy. It features a sweet graham cracker flavored ice cream base swirled with chocolate marshmallow cups and graham cracker pieces. The combination of flavors is absolutely delicious – the graham flavor provides a slightly sweet, crunchy taste while the chocolate and marshmallow give it a decadent, chocolatey flavor. It’s the perfect medley of flavors and textures.
Graham Slam has a huge fanbase, with many considering it to be Turkey Hill’s most popular flavor. It’s nostalgic for many who grew up eating it and has a reputation as being the perfect ice cream for enjoying while watching a Phillies baseball game.
The Disappearance and Return of Graham Slam
Turkey Hill originally introduced Graham Slam ice cream in the 1990s. For years it was a staple summertime treat for ice cream lovers in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. However, in 2017, Turkey Hill unexpectedly discontinued the flavor. The company cited business reasons for no longer producing the flavor.
Understandably, there was significant disappointment among Graham Slam devotees who could no longer get their hands on their favorite ice cream Over the next five years, fans repeatedly reached out to Turkey Hill asking them to bring back Graham Slam
In early 2022, Turkey Hill finally announced they would re-release Graham Slam ice cream due to popular demand. Ice cream fans rejoiced at the news. The company released the ice cream on March 28, 2022, just in time for baseball season and summer weather.
