The Seasonal Jeni’s Flavor You’ll Want At The Thanksgiving Table

So what does fall and, by extension, Thanksgiving taste like to the people at Jeni’s? Why, it tastes like their beloved seasonal Pumpkin Cake Roll ice cream, of course. And, if your taste buds are already growing weary of pumpkin spice, Jeni’s website calls this the “cure for pumpkin spice everything palate fatigue.” What sets this offering apart from the rest? The pumpkin ice cream is tempered by ice cream that tastes like cream cheese frosting. Throw in brown sugar and Jeni’s blend of warm spices including, “cinnamon, fennel, star anise, white pepper, and ginger” and you have a unique-although-pumpkin-flavored treat.

Chewboom reveals that this ice cream has no “synthetic pumpkin flavoring” and, instead, uses real pumpkins. So what does it taste like? YouTube ice cream-taster, Ice Cream Scoops, confesses that she isn’t a fan of pumpkin, but that the pumpkin part of the ice cream tastes exactly like the real thing. When you eat the pumpkin and cream cheese swirls together, she stated, “Something magical happens” and “the subtle cream cheese flavor balances out the pumpkin flavor.” If you’ve grown tired of traditional Thanksgiving desserts, you may wish to swap out your pumpkin pie for a tub of Jeni’s seasonal pumpkin cake roll ice cream. It’s rumored to be magical.
