A Sweet Fall Surprise from Jeni’s
Five ice cream flavors, five readers — could one be you?
Friends,
In honor of my ice cream newsletter, I’ve got something sweet for you this week, and not just a recipe. Jeni’s Ice Cream has partnered with me to bring a special giveaway to The Flavor Files community. Five lucky readers will each win a shipment of Jeni’s five fall flavors, handpicked for their bold, layered flavors (you know that’s my thing!).




Here’s what’s on the menu:
Caramel Apple Crumble – Crisp apple ice cream swirled with dark caramel sauce and brown sugar–oat crumble.
Burnt Orange Dreamsicle – Juicy orange ice cream with vanilla custard and a drizzle of burnt orange caramel.
Miso Butterscotch Brownie – Dark chocolate fudge brownies folded into a buttery, toasted sugar cream with a hint of savory miso.
Bay Leaf Cheesecake – A refreshing, herbaceous twist on cream cheese ice cream with a graham cracker swirl.
Cookies in Cream – Scratch-made darkest chocolate cookies with flecks of white chocolate in vanilla-scented cream.
How to Enter
All readers (free + paid): Enter by clicking the link below and sharing your favorite ice cream memory.

Winners will be selected at random, and each winner will receive a shipment of the five fall flavors. Five winners, five flavors!
Why Jeni’s?
I’ve long admired how Jeni’s layers flavor—balancing acidity, sweetness, bitterness, even umami; just like we do in the kitchen. Think of the miso in butterscotch or the bay leaf in cheesecake: these are flavor moves straight from the cook’s playbook.
This giveaway is my way of sharing that inspiration with you.

Respectfully, it is summer! It is August! I cannot take the fall gaslighting. I have sweat on my upper lip Please
Growing up in a small village in the mountains north of Bremen, there was a farmer who made a simple Vanilla ice-cream. Now, I yearn for that wonderful taste again. I search every time I travel.
