From ‘Queen Sugar’ to a new sweet treat: Ava DuVernay gets her own Ben & Jerry’s flavor

Still broken up because “Queen Sugar” ended its TV run? Well, get ready to drown your sorrows in a pint of Ava DuVernay’s newest collaboration — with Ben & Jerry’s.

The company announced its newest flavor, Lights! Caramel! Action!, on Tuesday. It was “directed” by DuVernay, who becomes the first Black woman to grace a Ben & Jerry’s pint. Previous celebs enshrined on the pints include Jimmy Fallon (the Tonight Dough); Stephen Colbert (Americone Dream); Elton John (Goodbye Yellowbrickle Road); and former President Barack Obama (Yes Pecan).

And don’t forget the all-important OG celebrity flavor: Cherry Garcia, approved by music legend Jerry Garcia after a B&J’s fan suggested the flavor in 1986.
