New Jeni’s Flavor: Summer Berries & Passion Fruit

Fro-yo girl here. Remember back to when Jeni’s used to be proud of offering frozen yogurt? They were the only ones making buttermilk frozen yogurt (as far as I know). They deemphasized the fact that they make frozen yogurt, and the latest flavor, Summer Berries & Passion Fruit, has yogurt and cultured buttermilk, but it’s called ice cream.

Jeni’s describes the flavor as, “A lush, fragrant blend of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries folded into cream. Cultured buttermilk and fresh yogurt to boost the berries’ brightness and create an almost bouncy texture. The showstopping finish? A sunny passion fruit curd that adds perfect texture and tropical punch to every bite.”

Summer Berries & Passion Fruit: The color and flavor reminded me of blueberries and cream, with added tang from the yogurt and cultured buttermilk. The passion fruit hits you after (it’s drizzled in rather than blended throughout). The yogurt buttermilk ice cream is quite tangy and quite sweet. I liked it, but I do prefer the even tangier froyo flavors like Rainbow BFY (buttermilk frozen yogurt).

A single scoop is almost $9 now, pre-tax.

You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Jeni’s Ice Creams Flavor, Tropical Bloom

Fro-yo girl here. I was excited to try Jeni’s Tropical Bloom, described as “a punchy parade of mandarin, kiwi, and passion fruit wrapped in creamy buttermilk and yogurt. With a dash of citric acid for a mouthwatering, sour candy-esque finish.” I thought it was new, but it actually is a re-release and renaming of Cosmic Bloom, which was launched as part of the Punk Stargonaut Collection in 2024.

Tropical Bloom was thick, dense, smooth, and ultra creamy. The passion fruit seemed the strongest note to me. I liked the tangy sweetness but I didn’t love this particular combination of fruits. I wanted more citrus. It did remind me of creamsicle though.

It's hard to keep track of flavors when they change names!
