Okay Ohio, we need to talk.
First, I should start by saying that I’ll always be grateful for both Skyline Chili and Grater’s Ice Cream. But the internet was in a frenzy over the idea of Skyline Chili-flavored ice cream, and finally, we have answers.
It all started back in October when a listing for Skyline Chili Graeter’s ice cream mysteriously popped up on Kroger’s website. The description promised a “daring fusion of flavors,” featuring chili spice-infused ice cream with crunchy oyster crackers and shredded cheese swirled throughout. The internet, as you’d imagine, collectively lost its mind.

The listing was pulled from Kroger’s site faster than you could say “three-way,” but that didn’t stop people from speculating.
Now, the rumors can be put to rest. Because the Skyline Chili collab with Graeter’s is official.
So, here we are. Graeter’s and Skyline have officially joined forces to create the Graeter’s Skyline Spice Ice Cream, and it’s… exactly what you’d expect. The ice cream combines Graeter’s signature French Pot creaminess with Skyline’s chili spice mix, plus crunchy oyster crackers and a swirl of cheese. It’s sweet, savory, and, well, uniquely Ohio.
Whether or not this flavor will win over your taste buds is up for debate, but there’s no denying the curiosity factor. For Skyline, this is their first foray into dessert collaborations, and Graeter’s isn’t exactly known for playing it safe, so the partnership makes sense. According to both companies, this recipe took months to perfect, and they’re confident it captures the spirit of both brands.
Starting today, Jan. 27, you can try it for yourself.
It’ll be available in pints at Skyline restaurants, Graeter’s scoop shops, and select Kroger stores in cities like Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Louisville. Not in the area? Nationwide shipping through Graeters.com means even far-flung Skyline fans can get a taste.
Love it or leave it, Graeter’s Skyline Spice Ice Cream is bound to spark a lot of conversations—and maybe a few heated debates at Big Game watch parties. Whether you’re game to try it or sticking with your usual chili-and-ice-cream combo (but, you know, separately), one thing’s for sure: only in Ohio, right?
