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.
You may have heard of some crazy, odd, and weird names of ice cream flavors before. Ben and Jerry have opened the market for unconventional names for their ice creams, starting with one called Cherry Garcia. Their ice cream flavors however, are still those with traditional ingredients of ice cream, like those with chunks of chocolates, cherries, cookie bits, and pieces of frozen banana cuts.
One interesting option is garlic ice cream, and that's a flavor that might not be at the top of everyone's list. Garlic ice cream has been served at the annual Gilroy Garlic Festival in California as well as a garlic festival in Saugerties, New York. There are even restaurants that serve this unique treat such as The Stinking Rose in San Francisco.
Donuts and even ice cream these days feature bacon as an ingredient since it seems that people like salty smoky item in anything they eat. Famed chef Heston Blumenthal has featured his own variety of bacon-and-egg ice cream in his Michelin-star restaurant the Fat Duck, although one can find some bacon ice cream recipes on the internet. An ice cream with prosciutto in lieu of American-style bacon can be the flavor variety although there are also some ice cream shops that feature ice cream with bits of bacon inside.
Avocado is not something we typically associate with sweet food, but it is used in desserts in many countries around the world. Avocado ice cream can be found here and there, and many famous chefs such as Alton Brown and Rick Bayless have recipes for this unique cold 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.
