Longtime friends and collaborators Gideon’s Bakehouse and Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream are at it again, celebrating National Dessert Day (Oct. 14) with a special that raises the stakes for the iconic bakery’s 10th anniversary.

The Creature Double Feature ($8) will include side-by-side junior scoops of Bride of Frankenstein, a Kelly’s flavor created in 2020 to honor Gideon’s Frankenstein cookie (cookies + cream ice cream with Double-Stuf Oreo cookies, milk chocolate chips and mini M&Ms), and the all-new Hallowed Trinity, a concoction that melds Kelly’s Signature vanilla ice cream with Gideon’s Bakehouse’s signature chocolate cake, fluffy hot chocolate marshmallow buttercream and chunks of dark chocolate.

“We worked with Kelly’s to create a flavor that combines the trinity of life’s best things: cookies, cake and ice cream,” Gideon’s founder Steve Lewis told the Orlando Sentinel. “Scoop [Hallowed Trinity] on a cookie and the world opens, offering serenity and delight to your very soul.”

Theirs is a relationship that has quite a bit of it, in fact.

Lewis has known Kelly’s founder, Kelly Seidl, for the entire decade Gideon has been operating.

“From my first day of business at East End Market, 10 years ago this month, Kelly and her team were there to help me find my footing as I learned what Gideon’s wanted to be,” Lewis says. “For those who were there in the early days, the baked-to-order hot cookies with Kelly’s ice cream were an original menu offering at Gideon’s, and I’ve been proud to represent them with Hot Cookie Hour at Gideon’s in Disney Springs every day.”

Celebrating 10 years of Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream

Traditionally, Hot Cookie Hour pairs cookies with Kelly’s vanilla. But in a couple of weeks, Hallowed Trinity will be topping the cookies at the Disney Springs outpost (gideonsbakehouse.com).

That said, Kelly’s is where superfans can get it first. Tomorrow only.

The Creature Double Feature combo will be available at all Kelly’s scoop shops (multiple locations, kellyshomemadeicecream.com) on Oct. 14, from open until the flavors sell out.

“Working with Steve and his team on this flavor was so much fun. We both share a passion for crafting exceptional desserts and bringing our signature styles together to create Gideon’s Hallowed Trinity was an exciting and creative process,” Kelly’s founder Kelly Seidl says. “We’re thrilled to share this collaboration with our incredible community, and I hope they love it as much as we do.”
