Jeni’s × Cj Hendry 

OPAQUE is an exploration of color and flavor; a sensory experience that interrogates and immerses viewers beyond the visual, re-contextualizing the endless appeal of ice cream. Our collaboration with Brooklyn-based artist Cj Hendry blurs the lines between perception and reality.

What is Opaque ice cream? 

Layers deep. Wildly delicious. Velvety smooth. An ice cream stripped of color, triggering a shift from nostalgic familiarity to an uncharted experience. Where the senses come alive to peel back tastes, textures, aromas — an excavation of flavor. 

Online and in scoop shops 8/14.

Featured at our SoHo exhibition with Cj Hendry 8/15-8/17.

The Exhibition

What happens when you take the vibrant, colorful, nostalgic experience of ice cream and rely on other senses to rethink how it should look and taste? Join us for a provocative exploration of color and flavor with artist Cj Hendry, featuring Opaque ice cream, black Buttercrisp Waffle Cones, original artwork, and more. 

SoHo NYC
Aug. 15–17, noon to 7 p.m.

Experience in Scoop Shops

Can’t make it to NYC? We’re getting our scoop shops into character by turning all our Buttercrisp Waffle Cones black. Naturally coloring our signature cones with black cocoa plays with perception of flavor and aroma — another delicious layer to explore. 

For a full Opaque immersion, we recommend two half scoops of Opaque ice cream in a black Buttercrisp Waffle Cone.
