A classic Blue Bell flavor is joining with java to create a coffee lover's dream pint.

The new ice cream, called Java Jolt, consists of Blue Bell's coffee ice cream, a coffee fudge swirl and dark chocolate chunks. Java Jolt is now available in stores for a limited time.

"Our Coffee Ice Cream is a fan-favorite, so it is the perfect base for our new Java Jolt,” Joe Robertson, Blue Bell executive director of advertising and marketing, said in a statement. “The coffee fudge swirl adds an extra jolt of flavor. And the dark chocolate chunks are a delicious complement to the ice cream."
