Jeni’s Ice Creams, founded by Jeni Britton in 2002 at a counter in North Market, Columbus, Ohio, has grown into a nationally recognized brand. Known for its distinctive packaging and unique flavors, the brand is now available in scoop shops across the country and in grocery stores nationwide, with a direct-to-consumer option via its website. This spring, Jeni’s Ice Creams is launching a new selection of limited-time seasonal flavors and ice cream bars to refresh its offerings and capture the essence of spring.
The 2025 spring collection introduces three exciting new ice cream flavors: Raspberry Rhubarb Delight, Citrus Glazed Pound Cake, and Tropical Bloom. Each flavor draws inspiration from the elegant gatherings of the 18th century, where people socialized in lush garden settings. These flavors combine traditional seasonal tastes like sweet berries, citrus, and floral notes, with a modern twist.
In addition to the ice cream flavors, Jeni’s is debuting four new ice cream bars, including Vanilla Caramel Sundae, Dark Chocolate Bombe, and Passion Fruit Dreamsicle, which are all available nationwide. These bars bring nostalgic flavors reminiscent of ice cream truck classics, offering a portable alternative to scoop-shop treats.
New Ice Cream Flavors: A Taste of Spring
The Raspberry Rhubarb Delight ice cream blends a creamy coriander base with a tangy swirl of rhubarb and raspberry jam. The earthy, lemony coriander provides a subtle backdrop for the vibrant raspberry flavor, with a delicate hint of rhubarb’s tartness adding a cheesecake-like finish.
Citrus Glazed Pound Cake features a refreshing yuzu ice cream base, mixed with chunks of vanilla pound cake and ribbons of lemon icing. The yuzu’s citrusy yet floral flavor brings a unique twist, balancing the richness of the pound cake. However, the lemon icing’s flavor is more visual than impactful, leaving some to wish for a stronger presence.
The Tropical Bloom flavor, with a color similar to orange sherbet, combines mandarin, passion fruit, and kiwi, creating a refreshing and tangy profile. This ice cream offers a creamy yet airy texture with a bright citrus taste, evoking the nostalgic feeling of enjoying ice cream on a warm spring day.
New Ice Cream Bars: A Portable Delight
Jeni’s ice cream bars have been available in scoop shops for years, but they are now available for nationwide purchase. The new bars tap into the nostalgia of classic ice cream truck treats while offering modern flavors. The Vanilla Caramel Sundae bar, with vanilla ice cream, smoked almonds, and a rich caramel ribbon, offers a satisfying mix of textures and flavors, with the subtle smokiness of the almonds enhancing the overall experience.
The Dark Chocolate Bombe bar is a dream for chocolate lovers, with a deep chocolate ice cream base, crunchy chocolate cookie bits, and a milk chocolate coating. While the chocolate coating is pleasant, it slightly detracts from the intense chocolate flavors inside. Meanwhile, the Passion Fruit Dreamsicle bar combines tart passion fruit with creamy key lime ice cream, providing a bold, tangy option that stands out in the lineup.
Availability and Pricing
Jeni’s 2025 spring collection will be available beginning March 27, 2025. The ice cream flavors will be sold in scoop shops, select retail locations, and on the Jeni’s website, with pints priced at approximately $12. These seasonal flavors will be available for a limited time, around six weeks, or until supplies run out. Jeni’s ice cream bars, sold in a pack of three, are priced between $8 to $9 and can be found at local stores or through Jeni’s grocery locator on its website.
Conclusion
Jeni’s 2025 spring collection reflects the brand’s ability to expertly blend unexpected ingredients into harmonious, flavorful combinations. From the floral notes of coriander and yuzu to the tangy punch of passion fruit, the new offerings showcase the brand’s flair for creativity. Whether you opt for a pint of ice cream or a handheld bar, these spring releases are sure to delight both new customers and long-time fans of Jeni’s Ice Creams.
