Ben & Jerry's, the Vermont-based ice cream company that incorporates pop-culture into its ice cream along with nuts and fudge swirls, is at it again.

This time, it's announced four new Saturday Night Live-themed ice cream flavors. Two of the four are now available in Miami, with the second two being released later in the year. The Ben & Jerry's spokesperson would, sadly, not give us the names but we're hoping for a rework of the infamously-fabulous Schweddy Balls ice cream, named after Alec Baldwin's snort-inducing sketch as Pete Schweddy, maker of the tastiest Christmas balls ever!

Gilly's Catastrophic Crunch is named after Kristen Wiig's little curly haired girl with an attitude problem and features chocolate and sweet cream ice cream mixed with caramel clusters, fudge-covered almonds, and marshmallow swirls.

Lazy Sunday, based on a musical short starring Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell, has vanilla cake batter ice cream, chocolate and yellow cupcake pieces, and a chocolate frosting swirl.

Both flavors are available now at the Ben & Jerry's scoop shop in Coral Gables. A single scoop cone is $4.17, but try both flavors in a double scoop cone for $5.62.
