While that classic peanut butter and jelly might be a school lunch staple, the traditional pairing does not have to be juvenile. Peanut Butter and Jealous from Chica~Chida and Tipsy Scoop will have you hooked with the first scoop.
Nostalgic flavors continue to trend across the food space. Although not exact replicas of those childhood treats, the essence of the flavor and feelings is captured in the new food innovation. The creations give people permission to indulge, have fun, and let all the other stressors be silenced.
Tipsy Scoop has been a leader in the adult ice cream space. The boozy infused flavors represent the best of both worlds. The spirit infused frozen desserts are a spoonable cocktail that brings a little whimsy to any day.
The new Peanut Butter and Jealous offering features Chica~Chida. For those unfamiliar with this liquor, the agave spirit is made with espadin agave and allergen-free peanut butter extract. While similar to tequila, it is different. Overall, the flavor is nutty, smooth, and quite tasty.
Speaking to this special collaboration with Tipsy Scoop, Sam Hirsch and Charles Sachs, the founders of Chica~Chida said, “We’re excited to partner with Tipsy Scoop on such a nostalgic flavor. After launching in 2024, our goal was to bring Chica~Chida’s unique flavor to customers in innovative ways and this unique collaboration hits the mark.”
The specialty frozen dessert features a peanut butter ice cream and a grape jelly liquor infused swirl. The grape flavor could be a little controversial. The battle between grape and strawberry jelly with peanut butter is a fierce one. Most people have a clear preference. But, the grape jelly swirl offers the sweetness to balance the salty peanut butter.
Additionally, the grape flavor makes this pairing a little more unique. There is something enjoyable about the simplicity of grape with peanut butter that will draw people into enjoying a pint.
The Peanut Butter and Jealous ice cream , in collaboration with Chica~Chida, presents at 5% ABV and is available from January 21 through February 28. The flavor is available at Tipsy Scoop locations in New York and Washington D.C. Additionally, 4-pint packs can be purchased via Goldbelly and Tipsy Scoop’s website.
It is time to scoop up some sweetness to start the year. With Peanut Butter and Jealous, the person who has the smallest bowl is definitely missing out on this tempting food find.
