The chili pepper is fairly mild - don't be scared by the word "hot" in the flavor name, but I really like the extra flavor it adds. This is an excellent honey-based ice cream from Van Leeuwen. It is just enough pepper to add flavor and not so much as to make it 'hot'. This pint includes honeycomb pieces and hot honey swirls that provide consumers who want just a bit of kick after the cool sensation of creamy ice cream. The chili pepper create a very mild burning sensation in my throat when I swallow but it quickly dissipates. They make a "French-style" ice cream which includes extra eggs, so it gives it an almost custard-like feel. It has the expected extra-creamy texture that I see in other Van Leeuwen flavors. Digging in, the base ice cream appears to have absorbed some of the flavor from the honey pieces. Removing the lid shows the off-white color of the vanilla base with many small honey pieces visible right away. Here a vanilla base is used instead of sweet cream and the honey pieces contain a little bit of chili pepper. This looks like a spicy version of their signature Honeycomb flavor.

Today is the next of the new Walmart-specific flavors that the Brooklyn-based Van Leeuwen Ice Cream has released this spring. Hot Honey - Vanilla Ice Cream with Honeycomb and Swirls of Hot Honey
