Caffe Panna Jingaling
Caffe Panna's goal is to bring that same welcoming spirit and all-day accessibility to the heart of New York City, with an emphasis on delicious ice cream that marries elements of both Italian and American traditions.
Jingaling is labeled as Pretzel infused sweet cream with chocolate buttercream frosting and peanut M&Ms
The first bite of the pretzel-infused base is spectacular. The base is very smooth, and creamy, and has a mild salty flavor to it. There is a small hint of the sweet cream-infused base with the dominant pretzel aftertaste. While this is not a flavor you typically see being made in the ice cream industry it leaves the door open for countless possibilities with mix-ins and additions to enhance the saltiness and flavor of an ice cream base.
The chocolate buttercream frosting is everywhere. Heck, there is more swirl and frosting than the actual base. The frosting is similar to what you would get on a birthday cake like it was fridged and cooled to give you that extra dense punch of flavor in each and every bite. The chocolate is not over the top, just right, and has a happy balance of cocoa and sweetness. The peanut M&M's staples M&M's. The extra hint of salt from the peanuts helps enhance the flavor as a whole. These mix-ins are also pretty large in size, and yet still incredibly soft like they are right out of the bag.
This flavor is spot-on in each and every element. The pretzel base has the correct amount of salt and pretzel flavor that pairs with both elements in this ice cream flavor. Some may argue there needs to be more base as the chocolate frosting was the dominant portion of this base. I won't complain about too much frosting because I am like a fat kid who loves cake.
