Have you heard about Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream? Seriously, this ice cream is so good it goes by a first name! Jeni uses the same ice cream base for most of her recipes. She then creates tons of crazy flavors like this caramel bourbon ice cream and even crazier ones like sweet corn with blackberry.

Her storefront is based out of Colombus, OH, but thanks to her cookbooks, you can make Jeni’s ice cream in the comfort of your own home…. Read More »
