7-Eleven Sea Salt Caramel Truffle
7-Eleven Sea Salt Caramel is labeled as "Salted Caramel revel and sea salt caramel-filled chocolate flavored mini truffles in caramel ice cream"
There have been a lot of Sea Salt Caramel's out there on the market and one of the best to compare this to would be Talenti or 2nd Street Kopper Ketle Karamel. If you have ever had Talenti they set the bar high on a great blend of Sea Salt, Caramel, and Truffle Mix-ins. 2nd Street is still the king of caramel ice creams before I have had this 7-11 offering. Lets see if we can crown a new champion
Right off the bat the base provides a dense, bold, and flavorful caramel ice cream. Compared to Talenti being a gelato this packs more density in each bite. Being an ice cream you would expect that, but the amount of caramel in each scoop is great. Would I say this surpasses the perfect Caramel ice cream and swirl in 2nd Street? No, but it comes pretty darn close.
The Sea Salt Caramel Mix-ins and the Caramel Swirl are well done. The swirl provides that buttery and rich caramel syrup to the mix of a great caramel base. The Sea Salt Truffles are melt in your mouth, and there are tons of them provided in the pint. These are not little mini truffles, these pack a pretty good size. These would be similar in size to a dime but with a thicker volume. 7-11 Sure knows mix-ins and quality ice cream.
Overall I was very pleased with the quality 7-11 brings to the table in this pint. The base, mix-ins, and swirl were all on point. The only small take away would be the amount of mix-ins (Talenti won this one), and the overall flavor where 2nd street won out on this. Do not get me wrong, this is a very good pint. if you enjoy Caramel this is a must buy. There are just minor things that could improve this to be the best overall SSC on the market.
After getting through all my 7-11 Pints I would rank them as follows:
1) S'mores
2) Sea Salt Caramel
3) Fudge Marshmallow
4) Banana Cream Pie
5) Cookie Dough
Grade: B+
