CONFETTI BROWNIE BATTER

A while back, we tried those boxed brownies with the rainbow candies on top because we wanted to see if they were as good as we remembered. They weren’t. This is.

A dark and decadent chocolate custard with notes of butter and brown sugar. Made with two types of cocoa — classic brown Fair Trade cocoa and velvety, fudge-like black cocoa — for extra layers of chocolaty depth. Bittersweet (gluten-free!) brownies. And a confetti toss of rainbow sprinkles.

MATCHAPOLITAN

Refreshing. Layered. Bold enough for the matcha enthusiast, balanced enough for the matcha-curious. Made with ’s authentic Japanese matcha for a flavor that’s nutty and grassy, subtly sweet, with a hint of pleasant bitterness. Swirled with Madagascar vanilla ice cream for a friendly twist, dotted with sweet-tart strawberry jam. Matchapolitan summer starts now.

SUMMER ’26. IT’S ICE CREAM SEASON.

These flavors are exactly what we want right now. Scooped and stacked in a towering cone. Dripping down our fingers. Pooling on our tongue. The ice creams we couldn’t stop thinking about. We wanted them, so we made them. And we made enough to share.

Now available in scoop shops, at jenis.com, and for local delivery.

The Strawberry Shortcake Parfait started as a staff-favorite, secret-menu-esque pairing. When we realized that Strawberry Buttermilk paired with Gooey Butter Cake tasted like a strawberry shortcake. A few years ago, we decided to make things official. With layers of sweet-tart strawberry sauce and featherlight whipped cream that take this pairing from “seasonal favorite” to “holy moly that’s so f*cking good.” It’s no wonder we’ve never looked back.

This ice cream isn’t good.

A beautiful little miracle happens when you burn an orange. Its sugars caramelize and intensify, transforming bright citrus into something rich and pleasantly bittersweet. That’s the magic behind Burnt Orange Dreamsicle.

A 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.

Paired with salted vanilla custard, it’s an orange-vanilla zigzag, pinballing between familiar sweetness and unexpected depth.

SHE’S. BACK.

Strawberry Buttermilk and Gooey Butter Cake ice creams. Strawberry sauce. Whipped cream. We say it tastes like strawberry shortcake. But we also sort of think it’s the closest we can get to heaven on this mortal plane.

Only in shops for a limited time!

STRAWBERRY BUTTERMILK is our attempt to stop time. To suspend those few fleeting weeks when fresh strawberries are transcendent. Ripe, juicy, fragrant. Strawberries you can smell. That’s what this ice cream is about.

We buy up as many as we can. Blend them into cream with a splash of fresh buttermilk to amp up the tartness. Then devour it all.

In shops now.

Back in shops: BURNT ORANGE DREAMSICLE.

Like the classic citrus-and-vanilla combo, only deeper. Gooier. More vivid and satisfying. Courtesy of our burnt orange caramel: a knockout of a sauce that sharpens orange juice, zest, and pulp with a toasty, nutty edge. Folded into sweet cream for a vibrantly juicy orange ice cream. Swirled with salted vanilla custard. And rippled with more of that burnt orange caramel to turn the dream factor up to 11.

🍋& 🫐

Lemon & Blueberries Parfait. An homage to the lemon buttermilk frozen yogurt we’ve been making since the beginning. Lemon juice and lemon oil for a bright, zesty bite. Fresh cultured buttermilk and yogurt for an exuberantly bouncy, extra creamy, almost chewy texture. And sweet blueberry jam that plays perfectly with the tartness. A lot of people think it’s perfect.

JUST DROPPED!

Inspired by our favorite sugar cookies — fluffy, cake-like, with a generous slather of tangy pink icing. Our version starts with a creamy egg custard that’s rich, comforting, and reminiscent of sugar cookie dough. Layered with notes of butter and vanillin for a nostalgic, almost candy-like sweetness. Soft crumbled cookies for perfect texture. And a finishing touch of blush-pink cream cheese frosting.

Frosted Sugar Cookie is available in shops, online, and at select grocery stores for a limited time.

Tag them here, and let’s encourage great women to run.
