The list of ingredients leads off with "vanilla," but "rompope" (rom-PO-pay) is the key.
The canary coloration of Sley's ice cream sandwich (78 g.; $1.50) might steer you toward the true flavor, even if you didn't recognize rompope — eggnog — at first bite. The tameness of this PG-13 rendition is no surprise, but the icy texture might be; as you can see from the biteaway view below, it's much closer to a paleta, or Mexican popsicle, than to ice cream proper.
