Serve It Over Hamburgers

Ice Cream Cheeseburger, Florida: Here’s why you go to the Florida State Fair: because you find something amazing like the ice cream cheeseburger, from Carousel foods. It's exactly what it sounds like: a cheeseburger, topped with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and, you guessed it, a giant scoop of fried ice cream.Photo courtesy of Dennis and Cheryl Reas.

Make It X-Rated

Ice Cream Cocktail, London: Brit parlor, The Icecreamists, devises boundary-pushing flavors like the‘Sex Bomb’ ice cream cocktail: “Fior di Latte ice cream is blended with natural stimulants (Ginkgo Biloba, Arginine, Guarana) and other secret ingredients for blood flow and energy. Scented with a gentle infusion of citrus zest. Topped with a shot of burning La Fee Absinthe administered from a hospital IV drip.” Thankfully, even pseudo-ice cream anarchists impose a limit of one per customer.Photo © Wendy Rose Gould.
