Keep Cool this National Ice Cream Month with Book-Inspired Flavors!

Posted by Brett Cohen

It’s National Ice Cream Month! It’s also July, and it’s also very, very hot. And while we love all the regular kinds of ice cream just fine (you can pry Chubby Hubby from our still-warm, heatstroke-dead hands), we wondered what would happen if worlds collided and books became ice cream (not literally, though, because that would be gross). Get your hybrid freezer/bookshelves ready, because here are six tasty samples!

Berry Potter and the Container of Secrets: Muggles rejoice!  Inside this container you’ll find a magical blend of butter beer, Bertie Bott’s Strawberry Flavour Beans and chocolate frogs.  No need to employ the Dark Arts.

 

A Clockwork Orange Creamsicle: A concoction made with milk-plus direct from Korova so disturbingly delicious you won’t have to force it down!

 

Oliver Twist: Indulge in this mix of rich dark chocolate and simple vanilla flavors with a smattering of English Toffee.  Eat sparingly, for a combination like this begs you to ask “Please, sir, I want some more.”

 

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Make a wish, look inside your dish
Inside your dish, there’s candy fish
Candy fish in chocolatey goo
inside the goo are marshmallows too
All this combines for the perfect snacks
The perfect snacks to share with a Zax

 

War and Peach: An ambitious, sweeping, and impeccably detailed frozen treat of truly epic proportions, with so many ingredients that you’ll forget most of them existed by the time you’re halfway through your cone. Not easy to get through without a headache, but if you make it, you can brag about finishing it for the rest of your life.

 

Whirled War Z: Nothing is off-limits during the impending zombie apocalypse. Gummy worms crawl through a swirl of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream.  Beware of the random splattering of cherries.  You’ll want to stockpile these rations when the uprising occurs.
