From 7-ELEVEN, a cup of ice cream "7-ELEVEN Premium Salt Vanilla & Caramel Sauce" is now available. It is a combination of salt vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce using rock salt from Lorraine, France. It is already on sale at stores in Tokyo and Chiba prefectures, and will be released on September 22 in other areas.

"7-ELEVEN Premium" is a private brand (PB) of 7-ELEVEN & i Holdings, which is well known. Speaking of PB products, the price is reasonable, but the price of salt vanilla and caramel sauce is 224 yen (tax included) , which is comparable to that of Haagen-Dazs. You can see the confidence of 7-ELEVEN.

By the way, I tried to eat this ice cream that I got at 7-ELEVEN near the office at the En-eating editorial department!

Package design (image) that has already been rolled up. When I opened the lid, the first thing I saw was a large walnut! When you cut the pumpkin, it is topped with a lot of seeds that appear on the cross section. Below that is salt vanilla ice cream covered with a caramel sauce that reflects light and gloss.

Uo! Plenty of walnuts!

When you gently scoop it with a spoon, you can see the salt vanilla ice cream that is as fine as fresh snow. With plenty of caramel sauce and walnuts in your mouth ...

I can hardly see the ice cream

There is plenty of caramel sauce on the top, so when you eat it, you will first feel the caramel sauce ... This caramel sauce is so strong! It has a thick and dense texture, and has a strong sweetness like caramel boiled down for a long time. Rich enough to remain on your tongue for both taste and texture!

However, the salt vanilla ice cream hidden underneath is also quite thick. Moreover , both salt and vanilla are thick . Thanks to the mellow salt, the vanilla flavor is even more plump and the aftertaste is refreshing. The crispy walnut aroma is also a good accent.

... I thought this, but since it is a complete layer of salt vanilla ice cream → caramel sauce → walnuts from the bottom, if by any chance you should eat all the upper caramel sauce and walnuts in the first half, salt vanilla ice cream in the second half To taste only. So it might be a good idea to mix the whole thing in advance. Of course, it's delicious to eat only salt vanilla ice cream, but since it's a big deal, I want to enjoy "salt vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce and large walnuts" from the beginning to the end.

Moreover, when mixed, the caramel sauce makes it a little sticky, and you can enjoy the taste of Turkish ice cream!
