Peanut butter and jelly, a classic. A flavor combo that takes us back to childhood memories of sandwiches with friends in the school cafeteria. (Also, it’s something we still totally eat as adults.) April 2nd is National PB+J Day. To celebrate, we’re eating ice cream.
To help celebrate the day, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams has released an ice cream version of the childhood sandwich. The Roasted Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam flavor is creamy, salty, nutty, and sweet. Spoiler: It’s dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free and soy-free. But you’d never know it!

Peanut butter with a pinch of sea salt is churned with the lushest coconut cream and swirled with fresh strawberry jam made from scratch. It really is the best version of PB+J ice cream we’ve tried yet. Eat this now to celebrate, grab a pint for later, because you’ll want some on a hot summer day a few months from now.
Jeni’s can be found at some local markets and at most Whole Foods stores. Check out where you can find it here. Or, you can order it online!
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of peanut butter works best for this ice cream recipe?
For the best flavor and texture, use a creamy, natural peanut butter that doesn’t contain added sugars or oils.
Can I use store-bought strawberry jam instead of making it from scratch?
Yes, you can use store-bought strawberry jam, but making it from scratch will enhance the freshness and flavor of the ice cream.
How do I ensure the coconut cream is properly incorporated into the ice cream?
Make sure to use full-fat coconut cream and whip it until smooth before churning it with the peanut butter to achieve a creamy consistency.
