National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day 

Sure, everyone loves vanilla and strawberry, but Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day is all about trying something unique, like lavender ice cream or pickle ice cream.

Vanilla is often touted as the favorite flavor of ice cream, but we think that’s just because people haven’t been daring enough with their ice cream choices. National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day encourages you to take your taste buds to the rodeo and give a new flavor a try!

Learn about National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day

As the name suggests, the purpose of National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day is to branch away from vanilla ice cream and try something completely out-of-the-norm. It is up to you how far you go with this. For example, if you are someone who barely ever tries anything but vanilla, you may want to give mint choc chip a try or some rum and raisin ice cream.

For you, that may be pushing the boat out! For someone else, they may feel like they have already tried every sort of ice cream that is commercially available. If you fall into this category, then why not use National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day in order to come up with a flavor of ice cream that you’ve never tried before or seen in any stores?

You can go as wild and unusual as you like. You can try different flavors, such as adding herbs, like basil into the mix, and other different concoctions. It is up to you. Or, you could try and turn your favorite chocolate bar or candy into an ice cream treat? This is an approach that never fails. After all, if it tastes good as chocolate, the chances are that it is going to taste pretty amazing when turned into ice cream, right?

Did you know that Ben & Jerry’s receive more than 13,000 flavor suggestions from fans each year? They have published some of the weirdest suggestions they have received.

This includes Salty Licorice, which is vanilla ice cream, with swirls of salty and sweet licorice in order to create a black-and-white striped experience. Someone suggested Pepperoni flavor – a simple vanilla ice cream with chunks of candied pepperoni. Yum!

Although, we think we would probably rather eat that than the Gregarious Gorgonzola that was requested by one fan. They want dark chocolate ice cream that features gorgonzola cheese and raspberry jam. Another fan wanted Ben & Jerry’s to create macaroni ice cream, called Mac and Freeze. Oh, and we can’t forget about Spuds and Fudge, which would be chocolate ice cream with bits of candied French fries. Do any of these flavors float your boat?

History Of National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day

When people think about flavors of ice cream, they mostly think about what they can get off the grocery store shelves or from 31 flavors. When you take a moment to consider that ice cream was first invented in the 5th Century BC by the Ancient Greeks, and from there has traveled around the world and through every culture, you realize that the smattering of flavors you’ve experienced in your life is just the beginning. Somehow this seems like a perfect metaphor about our daily lives as well, don’t you think?

Do you like vanilla ice cream? Chocolate? What about strawberry? Chances are you love all these flavors, but have you ever considered saffron ice cream? What about rose flavored? These are just some of the flavors that were possible in years past, and doesn’t even begin to cover the absolute rainbow of flavors that come from fruits!

Of course, most of these probably don’t seem all that unusual or creative, do they? That’s ok! If you’re truly feeling adventurous you can try crab and oyster flavored ice cream, or garlic flavored!

How to celebrate National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day

National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day is best celebrated by buying a flavor of ice cream you’ve never tried and giving it a whirl, at least if you’re feeling lazy and not at all adventurous. The truly daring will instead buy a simple ice cream making machine and start coming up with all sorts of gastronomical alchemy within.

The extent of the flavors is really only limited by your own flavor palette and sense of adventure. We suggest trying rosemary ice cream, pickle flavored (sure to be a favorite amongst pregnant women), or even salmon flavored! Try anything you can think of, National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day encourages you to give it your all.

It is also a good idea to do a quick search online to see if there are any dessert parlors or restaurants in your area that have embraced National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day. A lot of restaurants will celebrate days like this, coming up with unique ice cream treats for their diners to try on a one-off basis.

You may find that they have a special ice cream or sundae running for this day or week, and so you could book a table for you and some of your friends and try out this new treat. After all, you will find that most of them are limited one-off creations, and so there will be no time to hang around.

Happy National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day!

What is the most creative ice cream flavor(s) you've ever tasted?

[sfarticles]

I scream, you scream …

July is National Ice Cream Month, so why not try making some of the frozen treat at home.

This is the time of year that I feel like a kid in an ice cream shop wanting to try all the innovative, newfangled flavors: French toast bacon, lavender coconut with black sesame seeds, Earl Grey tea with shortbread cookies, Black Forest licorice, everything but the kitchen sink and even movie time — popcorn-flavored ice cream with sea salt caramel swirls and caramel truffles.

Some don’t stray from the basic flavors like vanilla, the most popular flavor, or chocolate, and strawberry.

At every age, ice cream is a treat, especially on a hot, summer day. July is National Ice Cream Month, and this year National Ice Cream Day is July 21 (it’s always the third Sunday in July, wonder why “Sundae?”) So, let’s get out and celebrate enjoying this cool, sweet treat.

We have Sen. Walter Dee Huddleston of Kentucky to thank. In 1984, he sponsored a bill stating July as the month to celebrate this beloved treat. Following the proclamation, former President Ronald Regan signed the bill into law.

Did you know?

• In Thailand, people enjoy ice cream on a hot dog bun.

• Waffle cones are the most popular way to serve ice cream.

• It was in 1904 that ice cream cones were invented at the World’s Fair in St. Louis, so that people could more easily enjoy it as they strolled around the fair.

• New Zealand is the highest ice cream consuming country in the world, followed by the United States, Australia, Finland and Sweden, according to frozendessertsupplies.com.

• 87% of U.S. households have ice cream in the freezer, according to icecream.com.

• Nearly 10% of the milk produced by U.S. dairy farmers is used to produce ice cream.

I have several ice cream cookbooks in my ever-growing collection. The one I chose for inspiration is an older title, “Scoop Adventures: The Best Ice Cream of the 50 States,” by Lindsay Clendaniel (2014, Page Street Publishing, $19.99).

Because I travel a quite a bit, the book’s concept was intriguing, as I enjoy checking out local ice cream shops, sampling their unique and sometimes quirky flavors and then savoring every lick of the flavors I chose.

The author writes: “As I kept churning scoops and writing blog posts, word got out about my blog and obsession with ice cream. I was approached with a book deal. Not only do I get to share some of my own favorite recipes with you, but I also get to share some of the best ice cream recipes the country has to offer. I have worked with ice cream shop owners from every region to bring you their most creative and innovative flavors. This cookbook features a collection of recipes from shop owners who are passionate about their homemade product.”

With this book, you’ll be able to prepare innovative ice cream flavors from scoop shops in all 50 states. You’ll find unique flavors such as Honey Sunflower Seed, Blueberry Kale, Lemon Ricotta Cardamom Gelato, Orange Chocolate Decadence (one of my favorite flavor combinations), Balsamic Fig and Peach Honey Habanero.

The headnotes share the stories behind these flavors, and the vivid photos of the ice cream will tantalize your taste buds. Now, let’s get churning with these recipes from the book.

For the recipe for Mayan Chocolate Ice Cream (Full Tilt Ice Cream, Washington State), visit https://bit.ly/4biErm2.

Pennsylvania Dutch Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Ice Cream

The headnote says: “In addition to its cheesesteak, Philadelphia is a city famous for its soft pretzels. Philadelphians are rumored to consume twelve times as many pretzels as the average U.S. citizen, and the city boasts a pretzel museum. Given that cheesesteak ice cream would taste pretty bad, chocolate pretzel ice cream was the go-to flavor for Bob Gerenser to best represent the City of Brotherly Love. Situated in a small town outside of Philly, Gerenser’s has been serving classic and exotic ice cream flavors for 55 years. He knows how to make a winning dessert.” (Sadly, my research shows that this business has closed).

Makes 1 quart

Ingredients:

CHOCOLATE LIQUOR

1⁄3 cup cocoa powder

1⁄3 cup water

1⁄3 cup sugar

2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

ICE CREAM BASE

1 ¾ cups whole milk, divided

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 ½ cups heavy cream, divided

1⁄3 cup sugar

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup chopped chocolate-covered pretzels

Directions:

To make the chocolate liquor, combine the cocoa powder, water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a low boil, whisking constantly. As soon as you see bubbles, remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, and then stir the chocolate liquor until smooth. Pour into a medium bowl and set aside.

To make the ice cream base, fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch, whisk and set aside. Combine the remaining milk, ½ cup of the cream, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring the milk mixture to a low boil. Cook until the sugar dissolves, 3 minutes.

Remove the milk mixture from the heat and gradually whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Return to a boil and cook over moderately high heat until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Pour the base into the chocolate liquor and whisk to combine. Stir in the remaining 1 cup cream. Set the bowl in the ice water bath to cool, 20 minutes, whisking occasionally. Once cool, add the vanilla. Refrigerate the ice cream base until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Pour the base into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When churning is complete, gently fold in the chocolate-covered pretzel pieces. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

Banana Pudding Ice Cream. “Banana gives ice cream a gloriously creamy texture while imparting sweetness. Add a pinch of nutmeg, a touch of lemon and a generous amount of vanilla wafers and you are left with a frozen version of the South’s favorite dessert.” (Photo by Lindsay Clendaniel)

Banana Pudding Ice Cream

Inspired by Sam & Greg’s, Huntsville, Ala.

The headnote says: “There are plenty of banana-based desserts, but none are as dear to the hearts of Southerners as banana pudding. To this day, some Southern men claim to marry wives based on their ability to make banana pudding! The best banana puddings are made with real bananas, and the same is true for ice creams. Banana gives ice cream a gloriously creamy texture while imparting sweetness. Add a pinch of nutmeg, a touch of lemon and a generous amount of vanilla wafers and you are left with a frozen version of the South’s favorite dessert.”

Makes 1 ½ quarts

Ingredients:

2 egg yolks

1 ¾ cups heavy cream

1 ¾ cups whole milk

2⁄3 cup sugar

1⁄8 tsp salt

2 ripe bananas

Pinch of nutmeg

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups chopped vanilla wafers

Directions:

Fill a large bowl with ice water. Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl and set aside. Combine the cream, milk, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and warm over medium heat until the mixture is hot and the sugar dissolves, 4 minutes. Temper the eggs by slowly pouring ½ cup of the warmed cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly until combined. Return the warmed yolks to the pan with the remaining cream mixture. Heat the custard over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl.

Cut the bananas into chunks and purée in a blender with the nutmeg and lemon juice until smooth. Add the hot milk mixture and blend to combine. Pour the custard into a medium bowl. Place the bowl in the ice water bath and cool, about 20 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight. Freeze the vanilla wafers overnight.

Once chilled, pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When churning is complete, gently fold in the vanilla wafers. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

Seaport Salty Swirl Ice Cream. “Made in a town steeped in maritime and ice cream history, this ice cream has so many sweet and salty layers it could be considered a meal! Ice cream production began in this small shop by the town drawbridge in the 1800s.” (Photo by Lindsay Clendaniel)

Seaport Salty Swirl Ice Cream

Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream, Mystic, CT

The headnote says: “Sea shanties, Mystic Seaport, and local pub fare were the inspiration for this sweet and salty creation. Made in a town steeped in maritime and ice cream history, this ice cream has so many sweet and salty layers it could be considered a meal! Ice cream production began in this small shop by the town drawbridge in the 1800s and changed hands several times over the next two hundred years. The current owners are the fourth shop owners at this landmark location, and they continue to make delicious and creative flavors like the owners before them.”

Makes 1 generous quart

Ingredients:

ICE CREAM BASE

2 cups heavy cream

¾ cup milk

¾ cup sugar

1⁄8 tsp salt

¼ cup chopped salted peanuts

½ cup roughly chopped chocolate-covered pretzels

CARAMEL SAUCE

1 cup sugar

¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

½ cup heavy cream

1 ½ teaspoons sea salt

PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE

1 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons whole milk

2 tablespoons heavy cream

4 tablespoons honey

Directions:

To make the ice cream base, fill a large bowl with ice water. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar and salt. Heat the milk mixture over medium heat, bringing to a temperature of 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer (do not boil). Remove from the heat and pour into a medium bowl. Set the bowl in the ice water bath to cool, 20 minutes, whisking occasionally. Cover and chill overnight.

To make the caramel sauce, cook the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Do not touch the sugar until all edges begin to melt. Cook until the sugar begins to brown, stirring frequently, allowing it to reach a deep amber color. Remove from the heat and add the butter, stirring until dissolved (the mixture will bubble). Add the heavy cream and sea salt. Return to low heat and stir until the ingredients are combined, 1 minute. Cool to room temperature before adding to the ice cream. Use leftovers in various desserts or eat with a spoon.

To make the peanut butter sauce, place all the ingredients in a saucepan and warm over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the ingredients are combined and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Cool to room temperature before adding to the ice cream.

Once the base is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. When the ice cream is nearing the end of churning, add the peanuts and chocolate-covered pretzels and complete churning. Spoon a small layer of caramel and peanut butter sauces into a freezer-safe container and lightly spoon a layer of ice cream on top. Continue to alternate layers of sauces and ice cream until the container is full, gently swirling with a spoon (careful not to muddy the ice cream). Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day 

Sure, everyone loves vanilla and strawberry, but Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day is all about trying something unique, like lavender ice cream or pickle ice cream.

Vanilla is often touted as the favorite flavor of ice cream, but we think that’s just because people haven’t been daring enough with their ice cream choices. National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day encourages you to take your taste buds to the rodeo and give a new flavor a try!

Learn about National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day

As the name suggests, the purpose of National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day is to branch away from vanilla ice cream and try something completely out-of-the-norm. It is up to you how far you go with this. For example, if you are someone who barely ever tries anything but vanilla, you may want to give mint choc chip a try or some rum and raisin ice cream.

For you, that may be pushing the boat out! For someone else, they may feel like they have already tried every sort of ice cream that is commercially available. If you fall into this category, then why not use National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day in order to come up with a flavor of ice cream that you’ve never tried before or seen in any stores?

You can go as wild and unusual as you like. You can try different flavors, such as adding herbs, like basil into the mix, and other different concoctions. It is up to you. Or, you could try and turn your favorite chocolate bar or candy into an ice cream treat? This is an approach that never fails. After all, if it tastes good as chocolate, the chances are that it is going to taste pretty amazing when turned into ice cream, right?

Did you know that Ben & Jerry’s receive more than 13,000 flavor suggestions from fans each year? They have published some of the weirdest suggestions they have received.

This includes Salty Licorice, which is vanilla ice cream, with swirls of salty and sweet licorice in order to create a black-and-white striped experience. Someone suggested Pepperoni flavor – a simple vanilla ice cream with chunks of candied pepperoni. Yum!

Although, we think we would probably rather eat that than the Gregarious Gorgonzola that was requested by one fan. They want dark chocolate ice cream that features gorgonzola cheese and raspberry jam. Another fan wanted Ben & Jerry’s to create macaroni ice cream, called Mac and Freeze. Oh, and we can’t forget about Spuds and Fudge, which would be chocolate ice cream with bits of candied French fries. Do any of these flavors float your boat?

History Of National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day

When people think about flavors of ice cream, they mostly think about what they can get off the grocery store shelves or from 31 flavors. When you take a moment to consider that ice cream was first invented in the 5th Century BC by the Ancient Greeks, and from there has traveled around the world and through every culture, you realize that the smattering of flavors you’ve experienced in your life is just the beginning. Somehow this seems like a perfect metaphor about our daily lives as well, don’t you think?

Do you like vanilla ice cream? Chocolate? What about strawberry? Chances are you love all these flavors, but have you ever considered saffron ice cream? What about rose flavored? These are just some of the flavors that were possible in years past, and doesn’t even begin to cover the absolute rainbow of flavors that come from fruits!

Of course, most of these probably don’t seem all that unusual or creative, do they? That’s ok! If you’re truly feeling adventurous you can try crab and oyster flavored ice cream, or garlic flavored!

How to celebrate National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day

National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day is best celebrated by buying a flavor of ice cream you’ve never tried and giving it a whirl, at least if you’re feeling lazy and not at all adventurous. The truly daring will instead buy a simple ice cream making machine and start coming up with all sorts of gastronomical alchemy within.

The extent of the flavors is really only limited by your own flavor palette and sense of adventure. We suggest trying rosemary ice cream, pickle flavored (sure to be a favorite amongst pregnant women), or even salmon flavored! Try anything you can think of, National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day encourages you to give it your all.

It is also a good idea to do a quick search online to see if there are any dessert parlors or restaurants in your area that have embraced National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day. A lot of restaurants will celebrate days like this, coming up with unique ice cream treats for their diners to try on a one-off basis.

You may find that they have a special ice cream or sundae running for this day or week, and so you could book a table for you and some of your friends and try out this new treat. After all, you will find that most of them are limited one-off creations, and so there will be no time to hang around.
