Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creamis bringing back one of itsmost controversial flavors.
The popular artisan ice cream company announced on Mondaythe return of its Everything Bagel flavor— which takes subtly sweet cream cheese ice cream and weaves in chunks of the brand’s original everything bagel “gravel” (buttery streusel laden with sesame, poppy seeds, and yes, onions and garlic).
Originally launched in January 2021, the flavor “was met with varying reviews ofboth overwhelming adoration and vehement opposition, making headline news and causing a stir on social media,” the brand said in a release.
“Reactions ranged from ‘pretty damn good’ to ‘not at all gross,’ " they explained, nothing that “the one thing everyone agreed on was that it tastedexactlylike an everything bagel.”
Everything Bagel will relaunch on March 21 in Jeni’s 60 scoop shops and on its website,Jenis.com. The brand also distributes its pints in major grocery stories across the country.
This year the brand also introduced Maple Soaked Pancakes, and launched a huge campaign on Feb. 5 to set a new world record for the most people eating ice cream for breakfast on National Ice Cream For Breakfast Day.
Everything Bagel isn’t the only flavor back from the Jeni’s vault.
The company recently brought back Buttercream Birthday Cake. They also revealed that Strawberry Pretzel Pie — their flavor made as an ode toDolly Parton— would return for another limited edition run.
Like Everything Bagel, each pint of Strawberry Pretzel Pie starts with cream cheese ice cream, but this one is layered with salty pretzel bits and red strawberry sauce.
As before, sales from the flavor will benefit Parton’sImagination Library— the nonprofit she founded in 1995 that gifts free books to children from birth until they reach five years of age to encourage early reading. To date, the organization has gifted more than 173 million books.
But this time,Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creamsis making the offer twice as sweet. They’re also letting fans pre-order an exclusive digital version of Parton’s upcoming 12-song albumRun, Rose, Runthat comes with a bonus 13th track, “Rose of My Heart.”
