20 Insane Ice Cream Flavors From Around The World

As the weather starts to get warmer and the days longer, seeing photos of stacked ice cream cones on our social media feeds usually leads to thoughts of sweet treats and strolls through the park. As you imagine yourself walking down the street licking a cone, what flavor comes to mind? Maybe chocolate peanut butter, or if you want to get really crazy, perhaps some salted caramel? Time to up your daydreaming game, because ice cream flavors are getting weirder all the time. Here’s 20 pieces of proof.

This Portland based creamery, now with shops in Los Angeles, is using leftovers in their ice cream to create a waste-free product. Enter their baguette peanut butter and jelly flavor, made with salvaged unused bread from high-end grocery stores and restaurants, courtesy of Urban Gleaners.

Here, they’ve toasted the surplus baguettes, steeped them in sweet cream, and added swirls of jam to the mix. The fruit and berry jam also comes from Urban Gleaners and it’s paired with chocolate peanut butter.
