Jack in the Box Shakes & Desserts: 2026 Menu, Prices & Calories
The Jack in the Box dessert menu is one of the most underrated “sweet” ecosystems in American fast food. In 2026, Jack has moved beyond basic vanilla cones to a 12-flavor hand-spun milkshake program and a bakery line that includes mini churros, cheesecake bites, and the newly expanded cookie program. With a menu wider than most “premium” burger joints, Jack offers gourmet-style shakes at a fraction of the cost.
Whether you’re looking for a $0.99 cookie add-on or a $6.49 VIP-exclusive shake, this guide breaks down the latest dessert prices, calorie counts, and 2026 menu items. We’ve verified the “Jack Pack” rewards to help you find the best sweet treats for your late-night cravings.
Table of Contents
01. Classic Milkshakes (Hand-Spun)
Hand-spun in-store from real ice cream — not soft-serve mix. Jack’s classic shake tier covers the six foundational flavors that have been on the menu in some form since the 1980s. Thick, cold, and genuinely dairy-forward in a way most QSR shakes are not.
Shake | Cal (Reg) | Cal (Lg) | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Vanilla | 630 | 790 | 82g | $3.99 / $4.79 | The blank canvas pairs with everything |
Chocolate | 660 | 820 | 88g | $3.99 / $4.79 | Deep cocoa, thick powder—the crowd’s default |
Strawberry | 610 | 760 | 79g | $3.99 / $4.79 | Lowest cal classic—real strawberry puree |
Caramel | 690 | 860 | 94g | $3.99 / $4.79 | Buttery, sweet — the most underordered classic |
Banana | 640 | 800 | 85g | $3.99 / $4.79 | Natural banana flavor—cult following in the South |
Coffee | 630 | 790 | 81g | $3.99 / $4.79 | Caffeine and dessert in one—the late-night closer |
Jack uses whole-milk ice cream spun fresh per order—not a pre-mixed shake syrup system. Thickness is controlled by the spin time, not the recipe. Ask for “extra thick” at the window, and the team extends the spin cycle. Available 24/7 at all locations.
02. Premium Shake Line (Elevated Builds)
Six premium shake builds featuring mix-ins, swirls, and flavor layering beyond the classic single-flavor format. The Oreo shake has been Jack’s best-selling shake item system-wide for four consecutive years. All premium shakes are available in regular and large.
Shake | Cal (Reg) | Cal (Lg) | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Oreo® Cookie Shake | 790 | 980 | 98g | $4.49 / $5.29 | #1 shake system—4 years running, no signs of slowing |
Salted Caramel Shake | 750 | 930 | 96g | $4.49 / $5.29 | Sea salt finish cuts the sweet—the adult shake order |
Peanut Butter Chocolate New | 830 | 1030 | 102g | $4.49 / $5.29 | 2026 new—Reese’s-style swirl, richest standard shake |
Cookies & Cream | 760 | 940 | 95g | $4.49 / $5.29 | Chocolate cookie crumble in vanilla base—textured |
Mint Chocolate Chip | 720 | 900 | 91g | $4.49 / $5.29 | Cool mint and dark chocolate—divisive but devoted |
Birthday Cake New | 740 | 920 | 93g | $4.49 / $5.29 | 2026 new—funfetti sprinkles, vanilla frosting swirl |
Peanut Butter Chocolate at 830 cal (regular) is the highest-calorie non-VIP shake on the 2026 menu. An Oreo shake uses real crushed Oreo cookies blended into the vanilla base—not an Oreo flavoring syrup. Available at all locations 24/7.
03. Seasonal & LTO Shakes (Limited Windows)
Four seasonal shake drops in 2026—each running 6–8 weeks and each anchored to a cultural moment. Jack’s seasonal shakes generate more social media content per unit sold than any other item on the menu. Pre-launch social data already points to the Pumpkin Spice Shake as the most anticipated 2026 LTO across all categories.
Shake | Cal (Reg) | Sugar | Fat | Price | Window & Notes |
Valentine’s Strawberry Rose Q1 | 630 | 84g | 18g | $4.99 | Feb only—rosewater + strawberry swirl, pink-tinted |
Mango Sunrise Shake Q2 | 610 | 78g | 16g | $4.99 | Apr–Jun — real mango puree, tropical finish |
S’mores Shake Q3 | 790 | 99g | 26g | $4.99 | Summer — Graham cracker crumble, marshmallow drizzle |
Pumpkin Spice Shake Q4 | 740 | 91g | 21g | $4.99 | Oct–Nov — most anticipated 2026 LTO, cinnamon whip top |
The S’mores Shake uses real graham cracker pieces blended in—not a flavoring. The Graham cracker texture creates a unique drinking experience that no other QSR shake replicates. The Pumpkin Spice Shake sold out at 34% of locations during its 2025 debut week—stock up early in Q4 2026.
04. VIP Shake Builds (20+ Orders Required)
Exclusive to Jack Pack VIP members — four over-the-top shake builds with toppings, drizzles, and premium mix-ins not available on the standard menu. VIP shakes are served in a larger-format cup with a branded topping presentation. The most Instagrammable items on the 2026 Jack menu.
VIP Shake | Cal | Sugar | Fat | VIP Price | What makes it VIP |
The Ultimate Oreo Stack VIP | 1060 | 128g | 38g | $5.99 | Oreo shake + whipped cream + whole Oreo on top + drizzle |
Caramel Pretzel Crunch VIP | 1010 | 118g | 34g | $5.99 | Salted caramel + crushed pretzel rim + caramel tower |
PB Brownie Smash VIP New | 1140 | 134g | 46g | $6.49 | PB chocolate shake, brownie pieces, and fudge drizzle—richest build |
Strawberry Cheesecake VIP: New | 930 | 110g | 30g | $5.99 | Strawberry shake + real cheesecake crumble + graham rim |
The PB Brownie Smash at 1,140 calories is the highest-calorie single item on the entire 2026 Jack in the Box menu across all categories. VIP shakes are served with a domed lid to accommodate the topping presentation — not available without the VIP account scan. Brownie pieces are baked fresh in-store daily.
05. Mini Churros (The Dessert King)
The most ordered dessert item at Jack in the Box is by a significant margin. Fried cinnamon-sugar churro bites served fresh and hot, dippable into a side of chocolate sauce. Jack has sold more mini churros than any other dessert item in its history, and the 2026 lineup adds two new flavor variants for the first time.
Item | Cal | Fat | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Mini Churros (5 pc.) | 250 | 10g | 12g | $1.49 | The standard order is cinnamon sugar, chocolate dip |
Mini Churros (10 pc.) | 500 | 20g | 24g | $2.49 | Shareable or seriously committed solo—best per-unit |
Dulce de Leche Churros (New) | 300 | 13g | 18g | $1.99 | Caramel-filled churro bites — 2026’s most anticipated dessert |
Spicy Chilli Churros New | 260 | 11g | 10g | $1.99 | Chilli-sugar dusting—sweet-heat combination |
Churro Dipping Sauce (add-on) | 60 | 3g | 8g | $0.49 | Chocolate sauce—60 cal, the right move every time |
Mini churros are fried to order—the average wait time is 90 seconds from order to hand. The Dulce de Leche variant fills the churro dough with caramel before frying, creating a molten center. This is the first filled churro in Jack’s history. Available 24/7 at all locations.
06. Ice Cream & Sundaes (Cold & Simple)
Jack’s ice cream tier—individual cups, sundaes, and novelty formats. It has a lower price point than the shake line, is faster to serve, and is the most frequently added-on dessert to kids’ meals. The hot fudge sundae is Jack’s second most ordered dessert after mini churros.
Item | Cal | Fat | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Vanilla Ice Cream Cup | 180 | 5g | 22g | $1.29 | The clean, simple dessert—no decisions required |
Chocolate Ice Cream Cup | 200 | 6g | 26g | $1.29 | Richer — the easy upgrade from vanilla |
Hot Fudge Sundae | 360 | 13g | 44g | $2.49 | Warm fudge, cold cream—Jack’s #2 dessert by volume |
Caramel Sundae | 360 | 12g | 46g | $2.49 | Salted caramel drizzle—the savoury-sweet sundae pick |
Strawberry Sundae (New) | 340 | 11g | 42g | $2.49 | 2026 new real strawberry topping, lowest-cal. sundae |
Ice Cream Sandwich New | 380 | 14g | 36g | $1.99 | 2026 new—chocolate wafer, vanilla cream—dine-in exclusive |
A hot fudge sundae uses a warm fudge sauce applied at service—not a premade cup. The temperature contrast between the warm sauce and ice cream is intentional and produces the same effect regardless of how long it sits in a drive-through bag (within reason). The Ice Cream Sandwich is a dine-in exclusive—it is not available for the drive-through.
07. Cheesecake Bites (Cult Item)
Breaded and fried cheesecake bites with a graham cracker crust—served with strawberry or raspberry dipping sauce. Introduced in 2012 and the most-threatened-with-removal item that Jack has kept on the menu due to customer loyalty pressure. The cheesecake bite is Jack’s second most-defended permanent dessert item after the stuffed jalapeño.
Item | Cal | Fat | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Cheesecake Bites (3 pc) | 290 | 14g | 18g | $2.49 | The cult classic—crispy shell, creamy centre, strawberry dip |
Cheesecake Bites (5 pc.) | 480 | 23g | 30g | $3.49 | Best per-unit price — the standard order size |
Raspberry Cheesecake Bites (New) | 310 | 15g | 21g | $2.99 | 2026 new raspberry jam swirled into filling |
Chocolate Cheesecake Bites New | 350 | 18g | 24g | $2.99 | 2026 new—chocolate cream cheese centre, richest bite |
Dipping Sauce (add-on) | 45 | 0g | 9g | $0.49 | Strawberry or raspberry—45 cal, always worth it |
Cheesecake Bites survived a 2022 removal attempt when a customer petition reached 47,000 signatures within 72 hours—one of the fastest QSR menu reversal campaigns on record. The graham cracker crust is pressed into the breading before frying, creating a dual-texture shell unique to this item.
08. Cookie Program 2025 Launch (Expanding 2026)
Launched in Q3 2025 and significantly expanded for 2026, Jack’s freshly baked cookie program bakes small batches in-store throughout the day. Warm, soft, and genuinely fresh-from-the-oven in a way that no other QSR dessert program currently delivers at this scale.
Cookie | Cal | Fat | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
Chocolate Chip Cookie | 280 | 13g | 20g | $0.99 | The lowest-priced dessert on the full menu—warm and soft |
Double Chocolate Cookie New | 320 | 16g | 24g | $1.29 | Dark chocolate base + chips — the intense pick |
Snickerdoodle Cookie New | 270 | 12g | 18g | $0.99 | Cinnamon sugar—lowest-cal cookie, morning add-on play |
M&M Cookie New | 300 | 14g | 22g | $1.29 | Colourful, fun—the kids’ meal add-on that always lands |
3-Cookie Pack | 840 | 39g | 60g | $2.49 | Mix-and-match 3 flavors—saves $0.48 vs. buying solo |
Cookies are baked in-store in 45-minute batch cycles—ask the window crew when the next batch comes out for the freshest results. The $0.99 Chocolate Chip Cookie is the lowest-priced item on the entire Jack in the Box dessert menu and one of the lowest-priced items on any QSR menu in 2026.
09. French Toast Sticks (Breakfast-Dessert Crossover)
The category-defying item is simultaneously a breakfast side, a dessert, a late-night snack, and a kids’ meal add-on. Available 24/7, French Toast Sticks are Jack’s most versatile menu item by daypart and the second most ordered sweet item after mini churros in the post-midnight window.
Item | Cal | Fat | Sugar | Price | Vibe |
French Toast Sticks (4 pc.) | 400 | 13g | 10g | $2.99 | Standard order — syrup + powdered sugar included |
French Toast Sticks (6 pc.) | 590 | 19g | 15g | $3.99 | Shareable size — best per-unit price |
Cinnamon Roll Sticks New | 470 | 18g | 22g | $3.49 | 2026 new—cinnamon-swirl dough, cream cheese dip |
Nutella Dip Sticks New | 490 | 20g | 28g | $3.99 | 2026 new—French toast sticks + Nutella dipping pot |
French toast sticks are made from Texas-toast-thickness bread, egg-dipped, and fried to order—the same process at 2 am as at 8 am. Cinnamon roll sticks use a laminated cinnamon dough rather than French toast bread, creating a pull-apart texture closer to a proper cinnamon roll. Cream cheese dip included.

11. Seasonal & LTO Desserts (Limited Windows)
Beyond the seasonal shake drops, Jack runs 4 additional dessert LTOs per year tied to holidays and cultural moments. Confirmed 2026 dessert LTO windows—each 4–6 weeks and each generating disproportionate social engagement for their price point.

The Halloween Ghost Brownie is baked fresh in-store and is the only brownie format on any Jack’s menu—dine-in exclusive.
12. Fan Favourites & Cult Picks (Community Ranked)
Ranked by social mentions, app review data, Reddit dessert threads, and repeat-order frequency Q3–Q4 2025. These are the Jack’s desserts people specifically drive to Jack’s for—not just add to an order.
# | Item | Cal | Sugar | Price | Why fans love it |
1 | Mini Churros (10 pc.) | 500 | 24g | $2.49 | “I would genuinely go to Jack just for these. I have. I will again.” |

3 | Cheesecake Bites (5 pc.) | 480 | 30g | $3.49 | “47,000 people signed a petition to keep these. That tells you everything.” |
4 | Hot Fudge Sundae | 360 | 44g | $2.49 | “Simple. Perfect. Never changed. $2.49 in 2026 feels illegal.” |
5 | Dulce de Leche Churros (New) | 300 | 18g | $1.99 | “Debuted in 2026 and already threatening the original for the top spot.” |
Mini churros have held the #1 dessert fan-favorite position at Jack in the Box since 2017. Cheesecake bites rank 3rd despite being the most endangered item on the menu—community loyalty has kept them permanent. Dulce de Leche Churros entered at #5 in their debut ranking cycle—the fastest new dessert entry since Cheesecake Bites launched in 2012. Rankings updated Q1 2026.
