Few moments are as exciting as the debut of a truly distinctive collaboration, and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is marking one such moment with a limited-edition partnership inspired by Bridgerton.
In celebration of the upcoming fourth season of the Netflix and Shondaland series, Jeni’s has created two limited-edition ice cream flavors inspired by the fantastical decadence of the Regency Era. The releases will mirror the show’s Season 4 two-part rollout, debuting Jan. 29 and Feb. 26.
The first flavor, Queen Charlotte Sponge Cake, will debut Jan. 15. Inspired by the fashionable and discerning monarch of the ton, the ice cream features a brown sugar and almond buttercream base filled with raspberry rose jam and pieces of honey sponge cake. The lavender-hued cream serves as a nod to Queen Charlotte herself.
The second release, arriving in February, transforms a classic tea-time ritual into dessert form. Earl Grey Crème Brûlée ice cream blends the signature tea’s bergamot notes into a rich, salted custard, finished with burnt sugar candies for a lingering sweetness.
Queen Charlotte Sponge Cake will be available in Jeni’s scoop shops and online beginning Jan. 15. Earl Grey Crème Brûlée will be available online starting Feb. 9 and in scoop shops beginning Feb. 12. Both flavors will be offered for a limited time.
According to Jeni’s, the collaboration was inspired by the romantic, indulgent and captivating spirit of the Regency Era as depicted in Bridgerton. The goal was to create flavors that feel like an extension of the series’ world — ice creams meant to linger in memory long after the last bite.
