During a recent visit to Jeni’s scoop shop, I tested out Jeni’s Sweet corn and black raspberries, and found that I was taken aback at the flavor complexity of something that seemed so simple; I decided to buy a pint and write a review. The base is a rich, cream base infused with a moderate, delightful corn boldness that is strangely very satisfying. Normally, I’m a big fan of all things coffee, chocolate, or peanut butter; however, this base proved so unique and soothing that I can must admit that I enjoy it as much those heartier options. You can’t deny the presence of corn with each bite, and the experience profound. The Black Raspberry swirl is absolutely perfect: very sweet, overflowing with raspberry flavor (and some seeds), mildly tart, and a perfect compliment to the soothing, neutral base. The swirl tended to sit near the bottom and edges of the pint, so if you’re splitting the pint, I would alternate scoops between bowls and pay attention to what you’re scooping. This is a great pint that anyone would enjoy. I’m not a huge fan of fruit-based ice creams, but this one seems to join Loveless Biscuits and Peach Jam as being an exception---another unique exception. Definitely try it if you can. Consensus: A Where I bought it: Jeni’s Splendid in Columbus, OH

Steve's ice cream has recently released a twist on this flavor - sweet corn with blackberry preserves. The base is good but it doesn't have a strong enough sweet corn flavor for my liking.
