I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! July 1 marks National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day as a day to sample or wonder about the odd combinations of ice cream flavors. Skip the traditional chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream when you celebrate this holiday!
#CreativeIceCreamFlavorsDay
The greatest thing about ice cream flavors is we have so many to choose from. Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, or cherry to name a few. Did you ever consider a flavor beyond the standard flavors we love? There are around 725 businesses that make ice cream in the U.S. Imagine, trying a different flavor at one of those 725 ice cream shops! The great thing about creative ice cream flavors is if you can imagine it, you can achieve it.
3 Places for Odd Ice Cream Flavors
1. Mitchell's Ice Cream in downtown Cleveland is known to mix up some seasonal flavors that, to some might seem funky and to others are well worth the wait. Their salted butter sweet corn layers the flavors on your tongue. It makes you wonder why you ever bothered trying to pick the perfect cob in the first place. And their jalapeno strawberry has just the right combo of heat and sweet.
2. Ample Hills Creamery in New York City has two locations plus seasonal kiosks, they are sure to satisfy some flavor-seeking taste buds. Maybe you can try their Rum Raisin or Morning in Paris flavors to start.
3. From the savory and smokey to the sweet and surprising, LICK Pure Cream in Seattle offers curiosity and thrill-seekers a chance to test those boundaries, too. Flavors like pork-belly pecan can't go wrong, right?
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL CREATIVE ICE CREAM FLAVORS DAY
Celebrate by venturing out to your local ice creamery and testing their many concoctions, or head down to the grocery store and get creative by finding different ingredients to make your own! You can also try to find some crazy flavors yourself! Here are just a few we came across – mashed potato ice cream, beer ice cream, olive oil ice cream, buffalo wing ice cream, goat cheese ice cream, and candied bacon ice cream. Willing to try one?
