Everyone loves vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream, but sometimes we crave a change of pace! These five crazy ice cream flavors pull from unexpected ingredients and flavor combinations to create exhilarating, unique scoops. Try one or try them all this National Ice Cream Day!
Double-Brewed Soy Sauce Ice Cream
Soy sauce lends a salty, caramelesque flavor profile to a vanilla ice cream base. This type of flavor is popular in Japan, but you can easily create it at home using this recipe from The Japanese Pantry!
Curry and Mint Ice Cream
This recipe from Cooking Channel is proof that nearly any flavor pairing can make a great scoop of ice cream! Source the best-quality turmeric, paprika, and mint you possibly can to maximize this ice cream’s impact.
Zucchini Bread Ice Cream
Abundant summer produce is one of the best places to turn for ice cream inspiration. Follow this Serious Eats recipe to a tee for the smoothest texture in your final scoop. Pouring the zucchini mixture through a fine-mesh strainer is an important part of the process that should not be skipped!
Honey Lavender Ice Cream
Take a cue from your favorite herbal coffee flavor and make this famous honey lavender ice cream from Salt & Straw at home. The ice cream gets its iconic gray-purple hue from 10 drops of natural food coloring.
Dark Chocolate Seaweed Ice Cream
Don’t write off this flavor just yet! Coastal Living’s inventive recipe for dark chocolate and seaweed ice cream is quite similar to salted chocolate ice cream—the seaweed just lends the scoop a salty, slightly briny edge that cuts the richness of the chocolate.
