Want Some Cheese with that Ice Cream?

It seems like every day someone is trying out a new flavor of ice cream. Creators of ice cream are also trying out new and inventive things.

That doesn’t mean all of these culinary ideas will work. Some of these crazy concoctions sound…a little crazy.

Like blue cheese ice cream. Yup, that’s a thing.

Some ice cream shops are serving up ice cream that contain actual chunks of blue cheese. In fact, one ice cream spot in the UK is offering blue cheese and cream cracker ice cream. They also offer pint of ale and pack of Twigglets ice cream (must be a British thing).

This sounds like you would need to REALLY like blue cheese to enjoy this ice cream, but we try and keep an open mind when it comes to frosty culinary creations.

Cheese as a dessert item is not completely unheard of. Apparently the French are known to eat cheese for dessert from time to time. Surely, the blue cheese will bring a salty-and-sweet flavor combination to the ice cream, similar to salty caramel ice cream. And salty caramel ice cream is gooooooodd.

Search the internet and, sure enough, you’ll find plenty of recipes for blue cheese ice cream. Judging from the search results, many people that are liking and making blue cheese ice cream and pairing it with…pears.

One such recipe is for poached pear galette with blue cheese ice cream. Apparently, galette is a crusty-type substance that is edible.

It also seems like blue cheese ice cream is not too difficult to make, if you go down that route. You can use your standard garden-variety supermarket blue cheese along with standard ice cream ingredients like cream and sugar.

If this isn’t your thing, don’t despair. There are plenty of different ice cream flavors to sample.
