We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Baskin-Robbins seems like the classic all-American ice cream chain, with flavors such as Baseball Nut, Quarterback Crunch, and Inside-Out Apple Pie. As it turns out, they also have quite an international presence, with locations in five different continents and 41 different countries outside the U.S. As fast-food chains tend to do, they tailor their menu to each country to account for local preferences. Wouldn’t it be fun to go on a round-the-world trip and try all the different flavors? Perfect idea for when you hit the Powerball jackpot. In the meantime, it’s always fun to enjoy a little armchair traveling –- and eating! (Imaginary ice cream is 100% calorie-free.)
Today’s virtual visit is to South Korea, a country that Baskin-Robbins says is their largest market outside the United States. As of 2018, there were over 1,300 locations in the country, and it’s had a presence there since the ’80s. In light of this info, it comes as no surprise to learn that there are numerous flavors made solely for the South Korean market, though we sure wish BR would consider introducing some of them to the U.S. menu.
Many of these Korea-only flavors sound pretty tasty

A Baskin-Robbins blog post from 2018 listed a few of their favorite South Korean flavors. They included Apple Mint, a green apple and mint sorbet; Shooting Star, vanilla with a cherry ribbon and popping candy; and Bonjour Macaroon, an ice cream swirled with macaroon pieces. There were also two flavors with unusual names: Honey Cheese Trap, cheesecake-flavored with honey and almond brittle; and Mom is an Alien, which was white, milk, and dark chocolate stripes with chocolate pretzel balls. While they solicited customer input as to which flavor we’d most like to see in the U.S., we haven’t seen any of these flavors added to the American menu just yet.
More recently, Linda Goes East reported that Honey Cheese Trap remains on the Baskin-Robbins South Korea menu in 2021 and has been joined by a few other interesting flavors. Chocolate Forest combines matcha tea and chocolate ice creams, Twinberry Cheesecake mixes cheesecake chunks into strawberry and blueberry-swirl ice cream, and the aptly-named Good Luck is nougat-flavored with caramelized almonds and sweet syrup. (We’d sure feel lucky to get a scoop of that!) There’s also Papa and Daughter, a flavor that parallels the popular Mom is an Alien by using stripes of vanilla and strawberry ice cream in place of the chocolate and getting its crunch from pink chocolate balls.
