Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream and drag queen Nina West collaborated to create the Dream Puff flavor, and all proceeds go to the Nina West Foundation for charity.
Drag queen Nina West and Jeni Britton Bauer, founder of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, collaborated on a special Dream Puff flavor for Pride month, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Nina West Foundation.
In today’s installment of things I never knew would happen but now can’t stop thinking about, Nina West, the eleven-gendary drag queen and newly crowned Miss Congeniality from Season 11 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” debuted her own flavor of ice cream nationwide at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams. The Ohio-based chain has three standalone stores in Los Angeles.
The flavor, appropriately called Dream Puff, is a salted vanilla custard mixed with pastry flakes and ribbons of strawberry sauce, inspired by Nina herself. “I’ve been friends with Jeni for years, and so when the time came, she walked me through the process … because I had no idea how to make ice cream!” joked West, the drag persona of Andrew Levitt.
