12 Must-Try Weird Ice Cream Flavors On National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day
Every year on July 1, we get an excuse to binge on one of the best guilty pleasures in life! National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day is a good reason to try out every ice cream flavor we've been dreaming of! For summer 2021, why not try these creative ice cream flavors? We also included other frozen dessert favorites such as custard and gelato for those who want variety.
1. Van Leeuwen Honeycomb French Ice Cream
Weirdly enough, this ice cream does not contain any honey despite its name. The Honeycomb French ice cream is crafted from house-made caramel candy. It doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, colorants or processed ingredients making it a healthy option.
2. Van Leeuwen Ultra Premium Ice Cream - Vegan - Oat Brown Sugar Chunk (Oatmilk)
Another variant from Van Leeuwen is this Vegan Oat Milk Brown Sugar Chunk ice cream. Yes, it’s vegan! It’s made with a creamy vegan base with a splash of Tahitian vanilla. If you haven’t sampled candied oat clusters in your cold dessert, this is the time to try it!
3. Milk Bar Cornflake Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Eating cereal cold is the best, but have you tried eating your cereal frozen? We bet you haven’t! Milk Bar Cornflake Chocolate Chip ice cream gives you the perfect excuse to eat ice cream for breakfast. Crunchy cornflakes whipped together with silky marshmallow swirls and chocolate chunks in cookie dough ice cream make for a cheery start-of-the-day treat!
4. Milk Bar Cereal Milk Frozen Custard
If you want a more traditional cereal ice cream, Milk Bar's Cereal Milk Frozen Custard is like a classic bowl of cornflake cereal with a twist! Just imagine leaving your bowl of cereal in the freezer, but with better consistency! The subtle saltiness of the cornflake crunch meshes well with the creamy, not-too-sweet cereal milk, perfectly balancing the taste.
5. Dolcezza Roasted Strawberry Gelato
We’ve heard of roasted nuts in ice cream, but roasted strawberry? That’s something worth trying! Roasted strawberries bring out the luscious ripeness of the fruit, blending it well with the soft gelato base. Oh, and did we mention that it’s also gluten-free?
6. Dolcezza Mascarpone & Berries Gelato
The loose, velvety texture of mascarpone can now be enjoyed as a frozen dessert! Its richness is mixed with berries with much less fat and absolutely no gluten. Seductive on the palate, this tasty treat is a must-try!
7. Swedish Lemon Bar
For those on the ketogenic diet, add this to your list of desserts you can enjoy! With only 5 grams of carbs per serving, you can indulge in Swedish-style light ice cream, guilt-free! With swirls of tangy lemon preserve, the Swedish Lemon Bar is one of those weird ice cream flavors for those who are feeling adventurous.
8. Butter Pekan
We love anything laced with butter, but butter in ice cream? That’s something new for you to try. Chewy pecans are mixed with the richness of butter in a keto-friendly base with no sugar added to give you a delightful dessert that is also diet-friendly.
9. Swedish Mint Chip
Of course, we can’t leave out our vegan friends! One of the most talked-about flavors is still mint-flavored ice cream. The Swedish Mint Chip is Nick’s take on the controversial flavor. They’ve added their own twist by making it 100% vegan.
10. Ben & Jerry's Netflix & Chilll'd Peanut Butter
Ben & Jerry’s has always offered unique flavors and we think this one is extra special! Instead of the normal cookie toppings, this one has pretzel swirls and fudgy brownies. The saltiness of the pretzels blends perfectly with its peanut butter base to give you a sweet and salty treat.
11. Ben & Jerry's Americone Dream Vanilla
Another well-loved Ben & Jerry's flavor is Americone Dream. No more putting your ice cream in cones only to have it dripping all over before you even finish your dessert. With waffle cone pieces, you can enjoy the crunchiness of the cone without making a mess!
12. Ben & Jerry's Phish Food Chocolate
Who wants to try an ice cream flavor with fish in its name? Ben & Jerry's Phish Food Chocolate does not actually contain fish food but fish-shaped chunks of chocolate. These go well with the marshmallows and swirls of caramel. The interesting textures definitely make this a fun dessert!
