Who Celebrated National Ice Cream Day?
I know, stupid question – WE ALL DID – DIDN’T WE?
YES, JULY 16TH WAS APPARENTLY “NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY!”
Try These Wild Ice Cream Mashups!
I love how versatile ice cream has become. Look at the images above from left to right: these are ice cream flavors I’ve never heard of: beer, pizza, jalapeño pepper, corn, garlic and lobster!
Would I try them? Sure! I don’t see these are disgusting, just unique….like these ones:
Yes, yes, yes, and YES!
Hey, ice cream is fun, so why not have fun with it – especially on a day when we are celebrating it?
And as you can see, some acclaimed Chefs and big companies are jumping in…….and speaking of that:
French’s Mustard Ice Cream!
This is real! And I would try it! Hear me out: I love the flavor of mustard, and French’s classic yellow is indeed classic, so I’d give it a shot!
The French’s Mustard Ice Cream was just the tip of the iceberg – because as you can seen the picture, they also made a mustard ice cream sandwich!
While that looks like fun, and I LOVE the taste of Mustard so it could actually taste good, it led to THIS:
Hot Dog And Mustard Ice Cream Sandwiches!
Yes, Oscar-Meyer decided to go one better, and so last summer, to celebrate “National Ice Cream Sandwich Day”, the hot dog maker came up with this wacky sandwich!
The “Ice Dog” was made up of candied hot dog bits, hot dog sweet cream, spicy Dijon gelato and a cookie bun!
The company had a lot of fun that day on social media, at one point stating:
“Because a hot dog for dinner should be chased by a hot dog for dessert,” the company joked.
And here’s something to share: you know what? I’ve had mustard ice cream already!
You might be surprised to know that some of the world’s greatest Chefs do, indeed, create with Mustard Ice Cream!
This Butternut Squash Soup has Mustard Ice Cream in the middle! And it was delicious! The icy cold mouth feel allows the mustard flavor to slowly envelope your taste buds.

As for desserts, we rarely have them, but I didn’t make a “Chocolate Salted Carmel Buttercream” birthday cake for my wife:
It was all part of my yearlong “52 In 22” cooking challenge, and if you click on the story you will get the recipe AND an explanation for why I wrote “PISA” on top!
And I asked you once if you would eat this:
Yes, it’s “Chicken Nugget” Ice Cream!
Click here to see why they did it and how it tasted!
And this is my favorite of all time…
It’s a real “Ice Cream Cheeseburger! It’s jus tone of many wild food mashups I’ve shared with you and you can see them all here:

You can just send me the mojito one, thanks John 😉
HA! Good call Robbie!
Who knew it was International Ice cream day? Not me. Even so, I happened to make chocolate milkshakes last night which were delicious, though much more traditional than a mustard shake!
HA! Sounds delicious!
I really want to try the Mac and cheese one
I am definitely in Robbie’s camp. I know you are on vacation but, If you get a chance would you vote for me – https://favchef.com/2023/bernadette-laganella
