As summer gives way to a season with cooler, crisper days that invite cozy sweaters and warm beverages, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams unveiled a fall ice cream range that invites people to taste all the best flavors autumn has to offer. The Fall Collection by Jeni's plays with overlooked ingredients and trades seasonal favorites like pumpkin spice for pumpkin seeds, or vanilla for bay leaf. These refreshingly different fall ice cream flavors offer as much comfort as ever but with a novel twist that captures the fleeting nature of the last few months of the year.
Bay Leaf Cheesecake is one standout flavor that pairs herbaceous cream cheese ice cream with a graham cracker swirl. Another unexpected savory addition to the collection is Miso Butterscotch Brownie with an umami ice cream and decadent, fudgy bites.
