Come to the Chicago Ice Cream and Gelato Festival and sample this: Jeni's splendid Dark Chocolate ice cream.
The Windy City. The City of Big Shoulders. The Second City. To the list of Chicago nicknames add the City of Tasty Ice Cream.
Thursday 18 and Friday Aug. 19 marks the return of the Chicago Ice Cream and Gelato Festival, and Jeni and the The Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home book tour will be part of the extravaganza.
From 6 to 9 Thursday and Friday at the festival, Jeni will demonstrate how to make her signature Salty Caramel ice cream. She'll also be sharing samples of her Brown Butter Almond Brittle, Dark Chocolate (pictured above), and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries ice creams.
