Weird & Wild Varieties Of Ice Cream

By Marquerite Velasquez


The International Dairy Foods Association has said that the production of ice cream and other frozen desserts has reached about 1.5 billion gallons each year. This is true because in the US alone, most of the people love ice cream and vanilla flavored ice cream is among the top favorite. While vanilla and others are favorite flavors, like chocolate and mint chips, there are only a few places where one can buy ice creams with very unique varieties. The following are some of the flavors which you may not have heard of since.

There are some unusual and crazy sounding names of ice cream flavors, and you may have heard some of them. Cherry Garcia is one of these, an unusual name of ice cream flavor created by Ben and Jerry's ice cream shop. However, their ingredients and flavorings still consists of cookie bits, chocolate chunks, cherries, and also frozen banana pieces, which are all still the traditional ingredients.

A kind of ice cream flavoring that may not be a top flavor option is garlic flavored ice cream. This is a flavor served at the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival in California and also in Saugerties, New York; this garlic flavored ice cream is served at their yearly festival of garlic. The Stinking Rose restaurant in San Francisco has served this unique flavored ice cream treat as well.

Donuts and even ice cream these days feature bacon as an ingredient since it seems that people like salty smoky item in anything they eat. Famed chef Heston Blumenthal has featured his own variety of bacon-and-egg ice cream in his Michelin-star restaurant the Fat Duck, although one can find some bacon ice cream recipes on the internet. An ice cream with prosciutto in lieu of American-style bacon can be the flavor variety although there are also some ice cream shops that feature ice cream with bits of bacon inside.

Avocado is used as dessert in many countries worldwide although this is not something often used for sweet dessert. Some famous chefs like Alton Brown and Rick Bayless have these unique cold treats as recipes because avocado can be a great ice cream flavor. Avocado not only provides a lovely color, it also makes the ice cream very creamy indeed.

If you are craving a fantastic ice cream treat, the Culver City ice cream shop YoKuMon can be your destination, and they offer all of the traditional flavors most of us enjoy. For just $2, you can enjoy their specialty, a gourmet ice cream sandwich. For this treat, the ice cream is placed between two homemade cookies, which the staff at YoKuMon makes fresh throughout the day. The cookies are freshly baked throughout the day and come in eight different flavors and you can pair them up with any flavor of ice cream. YoKuMon also sells shakes, sundaes or even Hawaiian-style shave ice at their shop in Culver City. YoKuMon is definitely the place to go if you are searching for ice cream in the Los Angeles area.
