Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Ice creams built from the ground up with superlative ingredients.

We are beyond excited to say we’re opening our first scoop shop in the nation’s capital later this year. Soon you’ll be able to find us in the bustling 14th Street neighborhood at the corner of 14th Street NW and Wallach Place NW (1925 14th Street NW, Suite B).

Miso Butterscotch Brownie. A jaw-dropping balancing act of a flavor. Where sweet, salty, and savory tiptoe across the same delicious tightrope. We start with buttery caramel cream. Then fold in yellow miso, which unlocks layers of umami — the way sprinkling flaky sea salt on a cookie makes everything pop. Dark chocolate (gluten-free!) brownies give fudge-like decadence to every bite.

Available for a limited time in scoop shops, online, and via the Jeni’s app.

NOW SCOOPING: Pumpkin Seed & Rye Cookie

An ice cream catapulting us into our savory-sweet era (aka fall). Featuring roasted pepitas (tiny green pumpkin seeds) folded into sweet cream two ways — pumpkin seed oil for toasted nuttiness and depth, and pumpkin seed butter for silky-smooth, almost buttery texture. All studded through with a scratch-made rye crumble, resonant with notes of honey and brown sugar and the melt-in-your-mouth texture of a soft-baked cookie. Nutty and nuanced, trust us when we say: This is the flavor of the season.

Enjoy Pumpkin Seed & Rye Cookie for a limited time in shops, online at jenis.com, or via the Jeni’s app.

Bay Leaf Cheesecake. Tastes like an autumn breeze whistling through a slice of the most glorious vanilla cheesecake ever. We owe all this refreshing depth to the bay leaf — the humble (yet powerful!) little laurel that imparts palate-cooling notes of thyme and vanilla to lush cream cheese ice cream. Textured with a crisp graham cracker swirl that mimics the best homemade crust, Bay Leaf Cheesecake straight-up blooms with fall comfort.

Available for a limited time in shops nationwide, at jenis.com, and for local delivery via the Jeni’s app.

A new sweet potato ice cream has entered the chat. 🍠 Passing the torch to Sweet Potato Marshmallow Praline!

Real sweet potatoes blended into cream and loaded with cozy spices — like, Vietnamese cinnamon and nutmeg — to emulate a deep, oven-baked flavor. Swirled with bright marshmallow-scented cream, like the topping on a casserole. And bedazzled with pralines that melt into heavenly pockets of caramelized crunch.

Available now in scoop shops, at jenis.com, and for local delivery.

FALL JUST DROPPED. 🍂

This season, we’re boldly going where no other fall ice creams will take you — expertly navigating the border between sweet and savory. Refreshing and comforting. The familiar and the wholly unexpected.

Because duality is the name of the game this time of year. Cozy sweater weather one minute, hot enough to swim the next. A toss-up between sipping on a hot or iced spiced latte. A savory casserole and a decadent dessert that both feature the same delicious squash.

Our fall collection hits this perfect spot. Like your favorite fall jacket. Four unapologetically autumnal flavors — so you can literally consume fall.

BAY LEAF CHEESECAKE
MISO BUTTERSCOTCH BROWNIE
PUMPKIN SEED & RYE COOKIE
SWEET POTATO MARSHMALLOW PRALINE

IT’S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME.

Presenting the PB&J Parfait. Our nostalgic homage to the lunchbox staple. Two half scoops of Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks — rich, dense, and bursting with roasted peanut flavor. Layered between sweet-tart strawberry sauce and fresh whipped cream. The perfect treat to close out the summer.

The PB&J Parfait is available in scoop shops nationwide for a limited time!

The 🐐is back online!

Mouthwatering and ethereally light, with just the right amount of tang. Like a scoopable cheesecake with sugar-plumped dried cherries and a deep red cherry sauce.

Bastani Sonnati isn’t just an ice cream — it’s a time capsule. As says:

“I wanted to recreate the feeling of being a 10-year old boy, sneaking into the freezer when my parents weren’t paying attention. I wanted to bring my childhood to ice cream shops all over the country … I really believe we created the best Persian ice cream you can find.”

We’re beyond touched that so many of you have loved our version. Capturing memories and bringing folks together — it’s what this collab with is all about.

Bastani Sonnati will be around to enjoy for just a little longer.

BASTANI SONNATI. Our collab with . Available now.

Every so often, one of our friends trusts us to recreate a memory through ice cream. That’s what happened when Ben Hundreds asked us to make Bastani Sonnati, or Persian ice cream — one of his favorite childhood desserts.

Our version upholds the traditional flavor profile. With saffron, rose water, and pistachios playing in razor-sharp balance. Fragrant and stunning, this is an ice cream with endless stories to tell.

And … a flavor this special deserved the coolest companion merch. Swipe to see the limited-edition T-shirt, designed by The Hundreds in their signature retro streetwear style.

Enjoy Bastani Sonnati for a limited time in scoop shops nationwide and at The Hundreds Los Angeles flagship store. And order pints and the companion T-shirt (heads up: quantities are VERY limited!) for nationwide shipping at jenis.com/pages/thehundreds and thehundreds.com.

Snow Cone Sorbet is the essence of summer in a scoop. An eye-popping nod to the state fair staple — the kind that almost tastes like its color. One half blue brambleberry: our velvety-sweet spin on blue raspberry, but with blackberries, blueberries, and red raspberries. The other half a mouthwateringly bright and tart watermelon-pink lemonade mashup. This twisted sorbet is a one-way flavor blast back to the boardwalk.

Take a bite of Snow Cone Sorbet and you might start to hear the lively bells and whistles of a merry-go-round. Because this flavor lives up to the best memories of the neon-syruped, paper-coned carnival staple. Juicy watermelon bright as boardwalk taffy. Pink lemonade with razor-tartness that hits like the rattle of a wooden roller coaster. And blue brambleberry sweet and comforting as the car ride home.

Tahini Oat Chocolate Cookies captures the relief of staying cool in the A/C when it’s too darn hot to do anything else (especially turn on the oven). Because it’s inspired by the savior of that day: the no-bake cookie.

Featuring nutty, delicate tahini from our friends at . Paired with lush, rich milk chocolate and a (gluten-free!) brown sugar oat crumble, it tastes like hearing the big radio hit of the summer for the first time. Dancing wildly to a brand-new beat … while somehow feeling like you already know all the words.

Burnt Orange Dreamsicle tastes like a cannonball into memories of the old-school citrus-vanilla combo — but it’s also a refreshing departure. Our burnt orange caramel sauce (made with orange juice, zest, and pulp) pulls double duty. First, folded into cream for a juicy and robust orange ice cream. And second, swirled in on its own for gooey texture and decadence (including flecks of orange zest). Paired with salted vanilla custard, it’s an orange-vanilla zigzag, pinballing between familiar sweetness and unexpected depth.

Sparkling Cherry Pie tastes like the moment a firework explodes — that split second when the whole sky vibrates. The secret: Sichuan peppercorns (from our friends at ). When steeped in cream, their famous mouth-numbing effect cools to a pleasant tingle (making every bite feel as if it’s sparkling) and the peppercorn’s complex floral and citrusy notes shine through. Paired with sour Michigan cherry ice cream, sweet-tart cherry jam, and crumbly shortbread — this one tastes like a classic cherry pie topped with shimmering whipped cream.

Yes, you ARE seeing double — Double Dough really is back for the summer. 🍪🍪

Double Dough rewrites the book on what cookie dough ice cream can be. Ultra-creamy brown sugar custard deep with notes of butter and molasses and kissed with vanilla and sea salt. Plus, bite-sized chocolate chip cookie dough pieces add a satisfying sandy texture to every bite.

Just dropped: HOT SUMMER SPINS

Flavors plucked from our favorite summer memories. Then taken for a spin. Let loose. Remixed. Until we cranked up the volume and blew out the speakers.

The result: Five rip-roaring, sense-scrambling ice creams that’ll take you back AND forward. That’ll melt your mind.

The Hot Summer Spins collection is now available in scoop shops nationwide, online at jenis.com, and for local delivery via the Jeni’s app.

Order shortcut! Ask for “Lemon Buttercream Cake” on a cone and this is what you’ll receive — the surreal pairing that is Buttercream Birthday Cake + Lemon & Blueberries. Because when bright, bouncy lemon yogurt and blueberry jam combines with icing-like texture, golden cake, and crunchy sprinkles, it tastes like the best-ever fruit-filled cupcake.

There’s a reason our Strawberry Buttermilk ice cream tastes so deeply of fresh berries: partnerships with neighboring fruit farms. 🤝🍓Every year, we work alongside local growers to get our hands on as many juicy, sweet-tart, all-around stunning strawberries as we can. So that every spring, we can share a flavor that’s like eating fresh strawberries with cream.

This year’s strawberry partners include Polter and Rhoads farms, both located in central Ohio — not far from our Columbus kitchen. They’re family-owned farms that we’ve worked with since our earliest days.
