Visit Dallas: Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream

Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream is an Ohio-based chain of ice cream shops, featuring flavors by James Beard Foundation Award winner Jeni Britton.  

There are numerous shops throughout various states, and you can also buy pints of her popular flavors at grocers (even in Hawai`i).

Since we went to a different ice cream shop during our first Ohio visit, we thought we should finally try Jeni's even though we were in Texas.  

Texas Sheet Cake + Gooey Butter Cake

Milkiest Chocolate + Darkest Chocolate

Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flakes + Gooey Butter Cake

I had the Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flakes + Gooey Butter Cake flavors.  

You can't go wrong with a chocolate and PB combo.  I loved the slight saltiness of the pb, and the slightly bitter dark chocolate flecks balanced out the ice cream nicely. 

My fave of the two flavors was the Gooey Butter Cake.  Cream cheese ice cream was mixed with vanilla cake pieces and a caramel-butterscotch swirl.  Such a divine, indulgent combination of flavors!
