Love ice cream and love the video. Kitchen, do you remember what lipstick you were wearing here? That color really suits you and the staying power seems fantastic?!
New Zealander here to explain the “oki doki” as best I can. It’s inspired by hokey pokey ice cream - vanilla swirled through with honeycomb candy. I’ve literally never heard honeycomb/hokeypokey described as sponge textured but now that I think of it, yeah it’s a sharp sponge texture… bone apple tea!
I’m so sorry I thought you were being sarcastic when you said hokey pokey but then you actually described it as I realized you were being serious 😅😂 Please excuse my ignorance 😅
I believe it’s called a “sponge candy” because the texture inside is similar in looks to that of a sponge. Or it could be that it’s a form of caramel that has baking soda whisked in to make it fluffy.
thank you kristin for acknowledging that vanilla is a really interesting and complex flavor, when you use actual vanilla and utilize it properly. i love vanilla. and yes, i'm boring, but vanilla isn't.
Our local ice cream place who make their own icecream have had 3 plain vanillas since opening with each having a different vanilla used. I was so confused the first time I saw them "wasting" three slots for vanilla but then I learned better. Watching this made me want to go get one of their vanillas.
Gotta say when I hear the phrase "hazards of the job", I never imagine getting a brick of ice cream slammed down on one's finger, but here we are. 😅 Great video and the Okie Doki ice cream sounds really good.
The lemon ice cream is sooooo good though! It reminds me of a dessert my mom makes called Lemon Lush, with lemon pudding, cream cheese, cool whip, & shortbread crust. 🤤🤤
INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For the crust: In a food processor, pulse the flour and butter together until a dough forms. Add the pecans and mix until combined. If you don't have a good processor you can cut the butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or 2 forks and add the pecans after the butter is cut in. Press the mixture into bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let crust cool. While the crust is baking prepare the remaining layers. For the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice together until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled crust. For the Pudding layer: In a separate bowl, mix the lemon pudding and milk together and beat for 3 to 5 minutes. Let the mixture set up slightly in the refrigerator if it's not thick yet. Once it has set up a little spread it over the cream cheese layer. For the Whipped Cream: Beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form... (Or use cool whip for easiness) Spread over pudding mixture. Chill dessert for at least 3 hours until ready to serve *some do a no-bake version & just use golden oreos for the crust. Nuts can also be eliminated for allergy reasons. Enjoy! 😊
It never tastes quite right for me. Like, it taste like when chocolate has gone a bit bad and grey. Not inedible but not great. Ben and Jerry's are the only exception to the rule. Phish Food is amazing x
In case nobody's mentioned it in the comments yet, Speculoos is a type of biscuit made in Belgium. It was made as an alternative to the Dutch Speculaas. In both countries it's quite popular. There's not only ice cream but also a sort of 'peanut butter spread' and other stuff made from Speculoos and/or Speculaas. ^^
Came here to say this! Also, speculoos (the Belgian, less spicy version of Dutch speculaas) is now branded in the US as Biscoff. Fun fact: the Latin word speculum (which means mirror) is actually where the name speculaas/speculoos comes from because traditionally the biscuits are shaped in moulds (that look like windmills, animals, people etc.) so the biscuits are a mirror image of the mould.
Kristen: "why do they always make the boring flavors to non-dairy" Me, who is lactose intolerant and also has the most boring palate, i just want to eat a tub of vanilla or strawberry ice cream and watch a cheesy movie like the other girls 😭
I am so glad you like mint chocolate flavored ice cream! I’m the only one in my family who likes it-more for me but I’d gladly share with you and whoever else likes it ♥️
@@annapruitt5546 mint is naturally green but not the crazy green. I’ve just found that the white mint chocolate chip has the strangest texture. It’s like a freezer burn
Isn't speculoos the spread and speculaas the cookie? I'm german living with my dutch partner in the netherlands for 2 years now and people always correct me about it because I switch it up all the time 😅
@@rivenblake8220 🤣 I should clarify, too - I’m Dutch by heritage, but born and raised in the US. Like I said, I only know the cookies because my Oma always had them around, from the Dutch store. They come in different shapes. I liked the windmills. 😊
We have a candy called Sponge Candy here in Buffalo/Western NY. I guess it’s best described as, like, a honeycomb toffee, but we cover it in chocolate and cut it into squares. It’s extremely popular!
In Canada you can buy that as a mass produced chocolate bar available wherever big brand chocolate bars are sold. They're called Crunchie bars. I believe they're by Cadbury. They're really good.
As an upstate NYer, we also make sponge candy - weirdly, you need a certain climate to do it. It's like a honeycomb-sugar-candy, which is generally chocolate coated. I can send you some from a local chocolate-maker if you'd like!
As someone allergic to milk protein, I super appreciate that the non-dairy options are often initially focused on the basics, because SO many vegan options are very much not like ice cream in texture, if not downright terrible. So just finding a decent brand of non-dairy ice cream in plain ol vanilla I can add my own fun to is a dang miracle. I hope your tummies weren't too angry after this!
It’s out of season now. But hopefully it’ll come back next year. If you like banana try the next new seasonal ice cream the Banana Pudding ice cream. Super good. Tastes like banana cream pie in an ice cream. It just came so there should be some in stores.
Ya'll have no idea how happy I was to see you post, but I'm so glad that you guys took a break for yourselves because sometimes it can be hard to remember that you're people too and that you need to take breaks 💜 while I'm in the middle of exams for finals and designing for a fashion show I'll be in for September the pressure be real and I just want to say that I love you guys and your videos get me through some of my hardest times
I don't usually like chocolate ice cream, but I really like the coconut milk chocolate ice cream (especially in the form of the mini ice cream cones). And the Cherry Dark Chocolate Chip Soy Ice cream is one of my favorite ice creams of all time!
I'm just here to validate Jen's liking of chocolate ice cream. Not everything has to be in the obvious 'salt fat acid heat' diagram. Its just nice AND THAT IS GOOD! I don't want my ice cream to be challenging. I don't want to think about the balance. I want nice ice cream. Which chocolate ice cream usually is. I have strong feelings about this apparently. If you insist, which no one did, chocolate is slightly acidic from the price of harvesting the beans. Salt is in the ice cream. Fat is in the cream. Heat? Tricky one. Heat meaning temperature is not useful here. But meaning spice? Sure chili in chocolate is tasty! But it isn't required. If vanilla is good, why can't chocolate be good as well? Like i said, strong feelings. 😁
I’ve had strong feeling about the salt, fat, acid, heat thing since I first hear about it. I don’t even think every DISH (savory dish, that is) needs all those things. Bringing desserts into the conversations is so weird.
Kinda late but chocolate does have heat! All chocolate is roasted which develops the flavour present in the cocoa beans from fermentation. It’s one of the most important steps in the development of chocolate flavour.
Honeycomb! The reason crunchie bars are the best 😋 Apparently some people call it Hokey Pokey but personally I’ve never heard someone call it that here in the UK lol Maybe it’s an Aussie thing??
Y'all are so funny & awesome, Brie absolutely included! And fyi, your videos really help me when my anxiety gets high by making me laugh & forget my problems for a bit. So tysm for that. I know you've branched off a bit into trying Aldi things, & fun fact they're actually related to TJs, but I think it might be a complicated relationship. Anyhooo, I'm not sure if you have Lidl grocery stores there? I feel like you have to, if my little country section of the US does lol, but maybe you could try some of their stuff? Sadly, 😭 we don't have a TJs close enough to do regular shopping, but I'm definitely Lidl>Aldi. Just a thought!? Wishing you all a very happy pride too!!🌈 🤗 🥳💞
Spekulatius or Speculoos cookies taste pretty much like a pumpkin spice latte imo. But the "like being kissed by Christmas" description fits pretty well since they are generally sold around Christmas in Germany haha
kitchen and jorn can you please compile all of the really great items from each video into some sort of list so we can easily know what to buy from tj's without having to watch all the vids back :')
if i lived in the states I would absolutely create a google spreadsheet with every item from every category. honestly i feel like someone out there probably has made something
Sponge candy is also a thing in the US but it's very regional. My region enjoys it greatly. The center is almost like what I'd imagine the texture of freeze-dried caramel would be? It's airy and crunchy and a tidge sticky, but fantastic. Then that's coated in chocolate! It's a fav of mine
This is random, but my mom is from Fukuoka too! also I love that color block yellow white pleated dress -- so pretty!! I think the only TJ's ice cream I've gotten is the vanilla, mostly to go on pies. and this comment is all over the place.
Kristin's dresses are always beautiful. Jens shirts she wear are always so cool that I don't think I could pull of those looks. Amazing women, with awesome authentic styles xx
Okay, but the pumpkin ice cream Trader Joe's has during fall is THE best ice cream to exist (besides maybe Love Potion from Baskins Robbins, only during Valentine's) and I will stand by that.
Sponge candy is also called honeycomb candy. Essentially, it is what happens when one adds baking soda to hot caramel. Foam forms, and when poured out and allowed to cool, it makes a crunchy, hard foam. I guess that is why they called it “sponge candy.”
I actually really love the thai tea boba non-dairy ice cream from Trader Joe's. And I completely agree with Kristin's point: give us interesting flavors! And make them gluten free too!
Actually we have milk tea ice-cream with tapioca pearls in the Philippines and dude it's so good, I don't know if they sell it in america but I would most definitely love for you guys to try it! It's called Selecta Supreme wintermelon cream cheese milk tea ice cream, Selecta has different kinds of ice cream so there's alot of choice to choose from💙
“What is sponge candy” is the most California thing I’ve ever heard 😂 here in Buffalo we love sponge candy. It’s basically just sugar and butter and baking soda I think? cooked to a fun melt in your mouth sponge consistency and then covered in chocolate. It’s so yummy! Very satisfying combo of textures
I am not sure how I possibly missed this episode. I think that you guys should do Aldi ice cream. JEN, they have a chocolate ice cream that is sooooooop good! ❤
Seeing another great video from you peeps popping up on my screen, I just know today is going to be a good day! I would love to see you fellows out in the world, or videos following your passions. Keep doing what you are doing.
It's crazy that after all the tj taste tests they've had, they don't know what tj's darling flavor speculoos is. It was a huge trend a few years ago and tj's put it in EVERYTHING. PS - i'm bummed your store didn't have the dairy free chocolate w/cherry, that one is very good!
Speculoos is something we eat throughout the year here in Belgium, it’s a cookie that’s mostly used with our holiday “Sint-Nicholas“ what is kinda like Santa m, but different hahah (I think it’s great and we have a paste in Belgium for on bread which is great)
I absolutely love ice cream unfortunately it usually doesn't love me. I actually make homemade ice cream a lot. My most recent experiment was chocolate cherry ice cream. It was really good but I'll have to put the cherries in differently next time because unfortunately the blender almost completely obliterated the cherries.
9:53 "Or so help meeeee! So help me, so help me and CUT! We're still working on it, it's a work in progress. But hey, we need ushers!" 12:24 happens. Me: Yes, thank you, Jen!
Whenever i see icecreams, I'm reminded of the day when i had to go the doctor since i hogged chilled icecreams during the rainy season and got bad cough. The doc after checking my breathing, gave me TWO injections on both my bums. I kept rubbing my bums till I reached home though i was driving my bike. After reaching home, my aunty asked me what flavour icecreams the doctor gave me. When i didn't reply, she said that i got butterscotch on one bum and chocolate fudge on the other bum. She told me that she's happy that i got painful injections so that I'll remember it whenever i see icecreams during cold seasons.
Sponge candy is a Western NY candy, it’s a toffee enrobed in chocolate. The main difference between honeycomb and sponge candy are the bubble sizes.. in the sponge candy they tend to be smaller. I’m a bit surprised none of the ice cream makers around here have thought to try to put it in ice cream
Speculoos are cookies that have those flavors. Remember for the mint ice cream, if it was green, it would mean they had used artificial coloring. Sponge candy is wonderful, crunchy with air bubbles and coated in chocolate.
"what is sponge candy?" as somebody who grew up with it this hurts my soul when i hear it altho i do get excited cause introducing it to people gives me an excuse to buy a bunch of it lol
Jen!!! I didn’t know you had roots in Fukuoka-me, too-whaddup! 🤗 I was born and raised stateside, but I’ve been watching your content all this time from Kyushu, and up until recently, Fukuoka City!
Sponge candy isn't strictly a new Zealand thing. It's really popular here in Pennsylvania. It's like a toffee filled with air bubbles so it has a sponge consistency, and crunch like floral foam.

I can't help myself around chocolate covered honeycomb.
I wonder if there is any way to ship ice cream to the states... 🤤🤔

100% this
Good vanilla ice cream is very good, my store stopped selling the one I bought, though (I think the brand was Coolhaus).

I was so confused the first time I saw them "wasting" three slots for vanilla but then I learned better. Watching this made me want to go get one of their vanillas.
"Do you want to be right, or do you want to stay friends?" is absolutely how I'll be resolving arguments with friends from now on.
The sheer betrayal in Kitchen’s voice that chocolate is Jorn’s favorite ice cream was all I needed to hear this afternoon
There's no excuse for 'meh' ice-cream. It should always be delicious.
Agreed!
Taste is subjective though 😂
You know what... yes
“We are not shitting our way to the centre of the earth” while Keith is crying into his Baskin and Robins 🥲
Gotta say when I hear the phrase "hazards of the job", I never imagine getting a brick of ice cream slammed down on one's finger, but here we are. 😅 Great video and the Okie Doki ice cream sounds really good.

I’m with Jen because I love Chocolate Ice-Cream. There are people who think it’s a strange concept like why would you think that?
That's my go-to flavour
Hard to find sometimes but I love Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy 😁
It never tastes quite right for me. Like, it taste like when chocolate has gone a bit bad and grey. Not inedible but not great.
Ben and Jerry's are the only exception to the rule. Phish Food is amazing x
Chocolate icecream, like vanilla, has to be made right. The generic ones don't do it justice. But the one's that are made properly taste delicious
I nearly choked on my water when you said "speculum flavored ice cream!!!"
Kristin said “Eau de Play-Doh” and life will never be the same again.
i hate play-doh's scent and hearing that made me kind of nauseous.
I'm SHOCKED the coffee boba non-dairy ice cream went in the penalty box, I'm absolutely obsessed with it!! More for me I guess 😋
You had me at coffee ice cream 😍
I am not. Sounds awful.
I’m a fan of the non-coffee dairy-free version of this
I really like the black tea one!
My supermarket used to have a non-dairy thai tea boba ice cream and it was so good! I'm sad that they stopped stocking it
I love that you're both lactose intollerant but still had a bunch of dairy for our entertainment. Don't push yourselves too far with that theydies! ❤❤

It’s basically just sugar and butter and baking soda I think? cooked to a fun melt in your mouth sponge consistency and then covered in chocolate. It’s so yummy! Very satisfying combo of textures
your ad reads are chefs kiss
Kristen's lip color in this video is 🔥 🔥 🔥!
This was so needed today. A balm of silliness for all the drama of the week. 😜
The sponge candy is in a crunchie bar- (a non us chocolate bar) they’re delicious.
There is a peppermint stick ice cream over christmas. It's the best ever
I am not sure how I possibly missed this episode. I think that you guys should do Aldi ice cream. JEN, they have a chocolate ice cream that is sooooooop good! ❤
I love ice cream! Great episode!!! 🍨🍦🥰
Seeing another great video from you peeps popping up on my screen, I just know today is going to be a good day!
I would love to see you fellows out in the world, or videos following your passions.
Keep doing what you are doing.
Chocolate ice cream is *chef kiss*
I so appreciate Kristin's vanilla rant. Where is the quality vanilla bean flavor??
REALLY HAD to get me ice cream before I could even watch the video :D Was nice to enjoy "ice creams" together
Trader Joe’s came out with the bubble tea version of the boba ice cream, and I think it’s amazing
I’ve just gotta say I looooove Kristen’s lipstick (& tbh her whole makeup vibe!)
Kristin this makeup look is amazing! What lip products did you use for this look?
I love the soy creamy vanilla with chocolate syrup when I want a simple dessert 😂
The cookie butter ice cream is so good with their cookie butter cookies!
It's crazy that after all the tj taste tests they've had, they don't know what tj's darling flavor speculoos is. It was a huge trend a few years ago and tj's put it in EVERYTHING. PS - i'm bummed your store didn't have the dairy free chocolate w/cherry, that one is very good!
Speculoos is something we eat throughout the year here in Belgium, it’s a cookie that’s mostly used with our holiday “Sint-Nicholas“ what is kinda like Santa m, but different hahah (I think it’s great and we have a paste in Belgium for on bread which is great)
I absolutely love ice cream unfortunately it usually doesn't love me. I actually make homemade ice cream a lot. My most recent experiment was chocolate cherry ice cream. It was really good but I'll have to put the cherries in differently next time because unfortunately the blender almost completely obliterated the cherries.
I would fold in the cherries instead of putting it in the blender
9:53 "Or so help meeeee! So help me, so help me and CUT! We're still working on it, it's a work in progress. But hey, we need ushers!"
12:24 happens. Me: Yes, thank you, Jen!
Whenever i see icecreams, I'm reminded of the day when i had to go the doctor since i hogged chilled icecreams during the rainy season and got bad cough. The doc after checking my breathing, gave me TWO injections on both my bums. I kept rubbing my bums till I reached home though i was driving my bike. After reaching home, my aunty asked me what flavour icecreams the doctor gave me. When i didn't reply, she said that i got butterscotch on one bum and chocolate fudge on the other bum. She told me that she's happy that i got painful injections so that I'll remember it whenever i see icecreams during cold seasons.
“Jenn is right, kitchen is not right right now” *laughter* Jenn is my leftie sister!
Sponge candy is a Western NY candy, it’s a toffee enrobed in chocolate. The main difference between honeycomb and sponge candy are the bubble sizes.. in the sponge candy they tend to be smaller. I’m a bit surprised none of the ice cream makers around here have thought to try to put it in ice cream
please please do trying every trader joes tea!!!!!!!!
Just when I thought the videos couldn’t get better, we have an Ice-Cream Video. YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Missed you guys!! So happy to see you back 💓
Kitchen and Jorn needing content 🤝 Trader Joe's
My teeth have been killing me since I just got my braces today and the video is helping me a lot.
Speculoos are cookies that have those flavors. Remember for the mint ice cream, if it was green, it would mean they had used artificial coloring. Sponge candy is wonderful, crunchy with air bubbles and coated in chocolate.
You put my favorite ice cream into the penalty box. I love the coffee/boba one.🤐
I miss California & my friends but get excited about it being Friday whenever I see your vids! ✨
"what is sponge candy?" as somebody who grew up with it this hurts my soul when i hear it
altho i do get excited cause introducing it to people gives me an excuse to buy a bunch of it lol
Jen!!! I didn’t know you had roots in Fukuoka-me, too-whaddup! 🤗 I was born and raised stateside, but I’ve been watching your content all this time from Kyushu, and up until recently, Fukuoka City!
I look forward (kinda) to finding out what Jen fell over / down / into to do that to her arm. As a fellow clumsy person, you have all my sympathies.
I saw ice cream and I’m like are these two lactose intolerant lol
Sponge candy isn't strictly a new Zealand thing. It's really popular here in Pennsylvania. It's like a toffee filled with air bubbles so it has a sponge consistency, and crunch like floral foam.
2 bokksu 2 furious was comedy gold!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
y’all should rank take all the penalty box bad stuff from all the TJ videos and rank them from worst to most worst
I LOVE the lemon ice cream. Get some of that lemon curd with the ice cream…it’s sooo good. I buy it 2 pints at a time 😂
