20 of the absolute strangest ice cream flavors ever made

Apple ice cream with jalapeño peppers and graham crackers

Once again thanks, to Max and Mina’s, we have a sweet treat that is so much more than you first thought it was. In fact, this gem was even tried by Al Roker, who pointed out that it was sweet to begin with but then the spiciness kicks in.

Ultimately, it seems as if Max and Mina’s is all about the unique flavors and combinations that create an entirely new experience in your mouth. While their website does not offer a menu of their ice cream flavors, all it takes is looking at testimonials and previous media reports about the shop, to learn just how unique their flavor choices really are.

Garlic ice cream

Max and Mina’s is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to strange and unusual ice cream flavors. In fact, because their menu changes daily, and they are willing to take flavor risks, this is an ice cream shop that has no problem doing things like making a garlic ice cream.

If ever there was a flavor that does not scream sweet ice cream, it is definitely garlic. With its pungent aroma and flavor, this is one ice cream cone that will definitely leave a long-lasting impression (at least it will keep you vampire free, too).

Black sesame ice cream

For many of these ice cream shops, if you are willing to create one unique flavor, you will most likely make more. At The Parlour in Durham, North Carolina, there is not only a fixed menu that offers some unique flavor options, but there are also seasonal options as well.

The black sesame ice cream at The Parlour has both a hint of sesame oil, as well as black sesame that is said to be homemade. With its intense flavor, this is a unique treat you might want to try at least once.

Coconut curry ice cream

This particular flavor is a seasonal option at The Parlour. The ice cream itself has a yellow coloring to it because of the addition of the curry. It also has a slight hint of spice to it because of this addition.

With the coconut flavor, you get the sweet, creaminess you expect from your sweet treat. This is a tropical, sweet, yet lightly spiced icy cold offering that really is a strange and yet oddly fascinating ice cream choice.

Mango gochujang ice cream

The Parlour knows what they are doing when it comes to giving the world unique ice cream flavors. With this option, which looks to be part of the regular menu, ice cream lovers get both the sweet deliciousness of mango, with the spicy kick of the chili paste.

Honestly, I admit to having had mango and chili powder ice cream before and it was delicious, so I feel like this would be just as amazing. It is still a strange blend, but the outcome seems to be worth it.
