Some of the most popular festive ice cream flavors include gingerbread, sugar cookie, and chocolate peppermint bark, but Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams released Cranberry Panettone with Chocolate Sprinkles as part of its seasonal lineup to pay tribute to a beloved sweet bread. This uniquely flavored ice cream pint inspired by a classic Italian holiday dessert builds on a base of brioche-scented custard with cranberry-orange jam—a nod to traditional dried fruit—and chocolate sprinkles for both sweet texture and good measure.
Cranberry Panettone with Chocolate Sprinkles is one part of Jeni's full Splendid Holiday Collection, which also includes in-demand flavors like Boozy Eggnog, White Chocolate Peppermint, and Pistachio Macaron. Though each is interesting enough to stand on its own, they're just as perfect as sides to seasonal cakes, pies and cookies.
