This marshmallow ice cream has plenty of complex flavors to create an unconventional dessert experience.

'[Jeni's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-licorice-ice-cream) [Splendid Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-fun-times)' 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sides-marshmallow-cake-ice-cream) 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.
