After making an obscene amount of money day trading the other day, I decided to splurge on some mail-order Jeni’s ice cream, getting a number of flavors which are not available to me in the backwoods of Appalachia. I will review all of them one by one.
The haul
First up is Powdered Jelly Donut.
The raspberry jelly is very good, very jelly doughnut like, but the "brown sugar donut crumble” is where this falls down. Sometimes Jeni nails the pastry bits of her ice cream, but here it just doesn’t work; there’s nothing doughnut like about it, it’s more like cookie dough, and heavily nutmeg’d at that.
Cutesy side story
It’s a good gimmick flavor though and you should try at least a scoop if you’re lucky enough to have a local scoop shop near you. But I wouldn’t order another $12 pint (plus $15 shipping).
