Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams drops new Hot Summer Spins collection this week

by Alexandria Ebron

Listen, if you’re in Florida like me, you know how insane these temperatures have gotten. I walk outside and two seconds later I’m drenched in sweat. Fortunately, there’s a solution for all this intolerable heat: ice cream (duh!).

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is releasing their summer lineup named “Hot Summer Spins” just in time to cool us all off. The collection is a take on the typical summer time vibes, giving new life with a sense of “new-stolgia”.

Earlier this week, the collection was teased on Instagram:

“It’s getting hot in here. Summer lineup drop 6/6,” said the posts.

The 5-pint collection launches in scoop shops and online via jenis.com June 6th. Here are the flavors included:

  • Sparkling Cherry Pie: a sour cherry and tingling Sichuan peppercorn ice cream with tart cherry jam and buttery shortbread crust that captures the essence of cherry pie straight from the oven but with a bit of a kick. 
  • Snow Cone Sorbet: a twist of blue brambleberry, watermelon, and pink lemonade sorbets that evoke the memories of the best snow cones of summer doused in sticky, neon-hued syrup.
  • Burnt Orange Dreamsicle: a juicy orange ice cream with vanilla custard and burnt orange caramel inspired by the iconic combination of orange and cream, but with an elevated burnt orange caramel sauce that’s nutty, rich, and packs a citrusy punch. 
  • Tahini Oat Chocolate Cookies: luscious milk chocolate and nutty tahini ice creams with an oat cookie crumble (an ode to the classic icebox treat). Jeni’s captures the essence of a no-bake cookie by twisting together two ice creams and finishing with an oat cookie crumble that softens ever so gently. 
  • [Returning flavor] Double Dough: chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is swirled into a buttery brown sugar custard, made to taste exactly like rich and buttery cookie dough.
