Wintergreen Marshmallow Ice Creams

This Ice Cream Flavor Aims to Replicate Root Beer Floats

— August 23, 2016 — Lifestyle
This marshmallow ice cream has plenty of complex flavors to create an unconventional dessert experience.

'Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams' is a shop that offers flavors that are not often seen anywhere else and its 'Birch & Marshmallow Ice Cream" is no different. The flavor is part of the brand's winter/early summer collection and is designed to be reminiscent of a root beer float. As a result, it is made with wintergreen and root beer and is infused with handmade marshmallows for textural purposes. The refreshing ice cream is perfect for people looking to indulge in flavors that are both playful and complex.

By adding a universally loved topping into a flavor that is unlike what most ice creams offer, Jeni's has managed to create something that most people would be willing to taste.

1. Unconventional Flavors - Creating ice cream flavors that go beyond traditional options, offering consumers unique and unexpected taste experiences.
2. Textural Infusions - Incorporating different textures into ice cream, such as handmade marshmallows, to enhance the sensory experience and create unique mouthfeel.
3. Playful Complexity - Combining familiar and nostalgic flavors, like root beer and wintergreen, with unexpected twists to bring a sense of playfulness to ice cream.
Industry Implications
1. Artisan Ice Cream - Artisanal ice cream shops can experiment with unconventional flavor combinations and textural elements to differentiate themselves in a crowded market, appealing to adventurous consumers seeking unique taste experiences.
2. Food and Beverage Manufacturing - Food and beverage manufacturers can explore innovative ways to incorporate unexpected textures and flavors into their products, appealing to consumers who seek novel and experiential offerings.
3. Dessert Cafes - Dessert cafes can create playful and complex ice cream flavors that combine familiar and nostalgic elements, catering to customers looking for indulgent and imaginative dessert options.
