Some Odd And Unusual Varieties Of Ice Cream

By Marquerite Velasquez


According to the International Dairy Foods Association, about 1.5 billion gallons of ice cream and other frozen desserts are produced each year. It is definitely true that Americans love ice cream, and vanilla is the top flavor year after year. However, while vanilla and flavors such as mint chip and chocolate are among the most favored flavors, there are a few places where you can purchase some truly unique varieties of ice cream. Here are a few flavors that you might not have heard of before.

Obviously, we have heard some wacky and wild names for ice cream flavors. Ben and Jerry's has corned the market on funky monikers for their ice cream, starting with Cherry Garcia. However, their ice cream is stilled filled with fairly traditional ice cream ingredients and flavorings such as bits of cookies, cherries, chunks of chocolates and frozen pieces of bananas.

An interesting flavor option is garlic flavored ice cream, although this may not be a top option of anyone yet. However, it is interesting to note that garlic ice cream has been served at the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, and also the garlic festival in Saugerties, in New York. There are also some restaurants offering this unique flavored ice cream treat, like The Stinking Rose in San Francisco.

These days, we seem to want to put bacon on everything including sweet treats such as donuts and, yes, even ice cream. There are a few bacon ice cream recipes floating around the internet and famed chef Heston Bluenthal has featured a bacon-and-egg ice cream at his Michelin-star restaurant The Fat Duck. There are also a few other proprietors who offer bacon-themed ice cream or perhaps an ice cream using prosciutto in place of American-style bacon.

Avocado usually is not associated as one sweet food although this is also typically a dessert in many countries worldwide. One can find avocado flavored ice cream in many places, and famous chefs like Chef Alton Brown and Chef Rick Bayless have their recipes for this unique flavored ice cream treat.

You may still favor the traditional flavors but if you are searching for the unique ice cream treat, you can go to the ice cream shop YoKuMon in Culver City. They have their signature ice cream treat, the $2 ice cream sandwich, which is truly unique and different. YoKuMon uses gourmet ice cream which is sandwiched between two homemade cookies, to make this delicious treat. The cookies are of eight different flavors and baked freshly throughout the day. If you are looking for an ice cream in Culver City, YoKuMon is the place to go, where the best ice cream sandwich is served, and you also can have other treats like shakes, shave ice, or sundaes.
