Ben & Jerry's has just unveiled a brand new ice cream flavour ahead of Refugee Week called Sunny Honey Home.
The tasty new creation is made with lemon flavour ice cream, sweet honey caramel swirls, and lemon flavour cookies.
However, what's really special about this particular flavour is that the ice cream giant has co-created it with eight entrepreneurs from refugee backgrounds – inspired by the flavours of Morocco, Afghanistan and Syria.
The team worked together with allies from The Entrepreneur Refugee Network (TERN) and proceeds from the new flavour will fund refugee led startup businesses.
The tubs will be available exclusively from Co Op for £5.50 per tub and will launch in stores on 19 June.

The project also gave the participants mentoring and training to improve skills in product research and development, marketing and communication.
One of the participants, Laila, told Metro: 'I have such wonderful memories with lemon from back home in Paktia, Afghanistan so I knew exactly how the Sunny Honey Home flavour would make me feel when we came up with it.
'The first time I tried the final product was emotional for me. People say when you make food with love it turns out nicer than the recipe and I think that is what happened with Sunny Honey Home.'
Meanwhile social media users went wild over the release, with one commenting: 'This sounds amazing and I love that proceeds are going to help people that need it! Can't wait to try it!'
Another wrote: 'So excited for this! Looks absolutely delicious and for a great cause.'
A third added: 'I would love to try this.'
One commented: 'When can I have this and when can I buy it?!'
'That sounds refreshing,' another wrote.
It's not the first time Ben & Jerry's has teamed up with TERN as back in 2017, the two collaborated to create an initiative called the UP Collective, which is a training programme for people from refugee backgrounds.
The ice cream company run the scheme annually, and it provides participants with support for their business ideas and entrepreneur training.
It comes after a group funded by Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen is running a campaign calling for the U.S. to stop providing military support to Ukraine in its war with Russia.
The Eisenhower Media Network has been pitching outlets on claims that the United States is spending too much money helping Ukraine ward of Vladimir Putin.

The EMN is run by a group called the People's Power Initiative, of which Cohen is president and a major financial backer.
The longtime progressive Democrat and backer of Bernie Sanders has forked over more than $1million to the initiative via the Ben Charitable Trust, according to a report in the Daily Beast.
Cohen told the outlet that he thinks 'the US should use its power to negotiate an end to the war, not prolong the death and destruction by supplying more weapons.'
The project promotes the utilization of a group of military veterans as experts and pundits willing to speak about the ongoing war overseas.
Some have said that continued US military support for Ukraine is extending and intensifying the fighting between Russia and Ukraine and suggesting that expanding NATO was one of the causes of the war.
