PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - Portland-based ice cream maker Salt & Straw is joining forces with Taco Bell to launch The Tacolate , a new dessert hitting stores nationwide on Friday, Oct. 3.

The collaboration has been in the works for years and was first announced in 2024 at a Taco Bell live event.

The Tacolate is described as a hand-pressed waffle cone shell filled with cinnamon ancho chili ice cream, dipped in single-origin chocolate, and topped with toasted brown rice. Each order comes with two Taco Bell-inspired sauces: Mango Jalapeno and Wildberry Cinnamon.

The Tacolate will be produced in Portland, where Salt & Straw has invested in new specialty equipment to scale up novelty ice cream production, according to a news release.
