In the heat of summer, we all want a little cold treat, but Jeni's Ice Creams has just partnered with Fly By Jing to bring together ice cream and spice in a frozen dessert that is an absolute must-try this summer. Jeni's has chosen three ice cream flavors to be topped with Fly By Jing Sichuan . For the uninitiated, chili crisp is an oil-based condiment originating from China that consists of a combination of dried chili flakes, garlic, onions, green onions, and other seasonings.
The three featured Jeni's ice cream flavors include Darkest Chocolate, Salty Caramel, and Double Dough. They're available in a three-scoop cone topped with chili crisp for a limited time starting on July 11. Chili crisp has been featured on various fast food menus like and but the ice cream combo is a welcome surprise.
I tried all three flavors to find out how this oil-based topping mixed with an ice-cold, creamy treat. What chili crisp and ice cream taste like together The three-scoop combo of ice cream mixed with chili crisp completely confused my taste buds in the most intriguing way. A bite of the Darkest Chocolate flavor with chili crisp on top almost made me think of the earliest version of hot chocolate made by the Aztecs: simply a blend of cocoa and chili peppers.
The Darkest Chocolate was a rich and fudgy scoop, so when mixed with the chili crisp you got this deep cocoa flavor with a spicy bite for an aftertaste. Next up, the Salty Caramel brought another element with its sea salt and vanilla.
