hot take: we need more ice cream options with cinnamon


Jeni’s Skillet Cinnamon Roll is my all-time favorite, but Ben & Jerry’s Churray for Churros isn’t bad either. Such an underutilized flavor!

    Its one my faves. That gooey seam of cinnamon and whatever else that is was endorphin producing the first time.

    RIP B&J Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. Greaters has a good seasonal cinnamon (no mix ins) if you can find it.

    Not a hot take AT all!!! I love love love cinnamon. It’s so underrated! Especially any kind of cinnamon roll flavor…Oh my goodness.

    Ben & Jerry’s cinnamon buns being discontinued left a hole in my heart no other ice cream could fill

    I’m of the opinion that cinnamon should be one of the main 3 flavors along with vanilla and chocolate

    Oh I love cinnamon ice cream! Brusters has a great cinnamon ice cream in the fall. You can get it with or without an apple dumpling.

    Even as a cinnamon lover, Anyone else think this flavor was terrible?

    I’ve never not finished a pint of ice cream until this one…

    Trader Joe’s Horchata ice cream has a nice cinnamon flavor! Mild but definitely there.

    I agree. I actually HATED this one though and I say this as a Jeni’s fan.

    Baskin robbins had a cinnamon roll ice cream for about a month or so this year. It literally had cinnamon roll chunks in it not just the cinnamon stripes. It was outstanding.

    Try Serendipity’s apple pie churro ice cream. It is sooooo good.

    Horchata ice cream from Trader Joe’s. Seasonal, unfortunately, but delicious.

    Ben and Jerry’s used to have cinnamon buns ice cream RIP 😭😭😭

    Cinnamon ice cream shouldn’t be a hot take!

  17. shit_fucks_you_up

    I tried like 16 new flavors during the whole foods ice cream sale this year, and this flavor was my favorite.

    Ah, I’ve found my people 🙂‍↕️

    Agreed !

    I grew up in Texas and we had a diner chain called Jim’s. They had this amazing cinnamon ice cream that takes me back…. idk if they still make it or if Jim’s is even still around.

    I agree completely. I got the cinnamon ice cream at Bruster’s last night and was impressed! My favorite that no longer exists was Haagen Dazs Mayan Chocolate. Chocolatey cinnamon decadence 🤤

  25. blackstarising

    ouuuu I remember in the early 2000s when cinnamon was in everything! I low key hated it then but I wouldn’t turn down a cinnamon-y ice cream now, I can’t lie!!!

  26. Far-Chart2936

    100% agree. Whenever im asked my favorite ice cream I always say something about how any sweet cinnamon flavor is my favorite but for more traditional flavors, then cookies and cream. Nothing beats that discontinued Cinnamon Bun ice cream by Ben and Jerry’s.

    Tilamook currently has apple cinammon icecream i think in Pint and Liter sizes. Its really good, especially with apple pie.

  28. LurkingAintEazy

    Facts! U am totally here for that! They have chocolatized everything else. Let other flavors have a chance!

  29. wretch_35

    I heard private selection has a churro ice cream. Haven’t tried it though

  30. GiveMeThePoints

    I loved it but I don’t like Jeni’s stuff normally.
