Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Hot Summer Spins is a scoop of new-stolgia
Whether served on a cone or scooped in a bowl, ice cream and summer are the perfect pairing. Borrowing from favorite summer desserts, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Hot Summer Spins churns a taste of new and classic flavors for the ultimate sweet treat.
Starting on June 6, the five flavors from the Hot Summer Spins will be available both in stores and online. The flavors are: Sparkling Cherry Pie, Snow Cone Sorbet, Burnt Orange Dreamsicle, Tahini Oat Chocolate Cookies, and Dough Dough.
As the names suggest, the limited time flavors are a nod to traditional Americana. From creative take pie a la mode to refreshingly light, fruity snow cones, these ice creams celebrate classic summer flavors without simply repackaging a taste from the past.
The Burnt Orange Dreamsicle seems is Jeni’s version of what appears to be the flavor of the summer. This ice cream is more elevated than the traditional frozen treat on a stick. The slightly nutty quality from the burnt caramel helps to add depth to the flavor. It is far from that juvenile treat from people’s youth.
The Sparkling Cherry Pie might be the most surprising flavor of the group. The combination of sour cherry and Sichuan peppercorn ice cream is the perfect contrasting ending to a robust barbecue meal. The sour and the spice can lift all those heavier flavors. There is a little heat in this ice cream, but that slow burn is quite enjoyable.
The Tahini Oat Chocolate Cookies is another creative take on a traditional ice cream flavor. The Tahini keeps the flavor from becoming too sweet. It might inspire a new take on a cookie recipe.
Lastly, the Snow Cone Sorbet could be the perfect option to make an adult float. The sweet, tart, and fruit sorbet forward flavors would be great served with some sparkling wine or even a seltzer. Even consider scooping some of the ice cream into a mold to make some fun floating cube in a punch bowl.
Dough Dough is a returning favorite. With this flavor, it is the brown sugar custard with its luscious texture that makes this ice cream the double bomb.
The Hot Summer Spins from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream will be available staring June 6. Rewards members get early access on May 29.
