Inspired by no-bake cookies, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams came up with the indulgent Tahini Oat Chocolate Cookies pint. This flavor mashup features rich chocolate with Fair Trade cocoa and creamy with sweetened condensed milk on one side and on the other, nutty, small-batch tahini sourced from woman-owned company Seed + Mill. Jeni's calls tahini a "peanut butter challenger" and it uniquely enhances the ice cream, all while offering a different experience from the usual flavors with chocolate or cookies.
To finish off the decadent ice cream flavor, Jeni's added a cookie-like brown sugar, vanilla-scented oat crumble that's gluten-free to help a wider range of cookie lovers treat themselves to scoops of this chocolate-tahini ice cream.
