Tart watermelon ice cream. Yes!
Step aside Blackout Chocolate Cake, at least for the summer. Watermelon taffy is here.
At RedEye, we're devoted to the foods and flavors rooted right here — but occasionally we find something so extraordinary that keeping it from you would be a genuine disservice. Jeni's new Watermelon Taffy ice cream is exactly that kind of find, and it has earned every ounce of our enthusiasm.
Among packaged ice creams, Jeni's is the best.
Their Blackout Chocolate Cake has long reigned as the undisputed champion of the lineup—but this month's new summer additions have reshuffled the rankings. Watermelon Taffy is making a serious run for the sweet crown.
Made to taste like watermelon sour candy, this one is for people who like a little bite with their dessert. It has that puckery, tart-sweet flavor you want, driven by real watermelon and enough citric acid to keep it bright. Buttermilk and yogurt make it tart and creamy.
Stellar on its own, or float it with something crisp and bubbly. Either way, delicious.
Grab it at Whole Foods. And if you can't find it on the shelf? It's because we stocked up for summer.
