Homemade Syrup and Waffles Ice Cream Recipe

So this might just be the strangest food holiday to date, but ‘creative ice cream flavor day’ is tomorrow. And I couldn’t let it pass me by without sharing some of my favorite ice cream concoctions that have been dreamed up from around the web.

Some of these flavors may be a little strange, but they ALL sound completely delicious. And definitely sit into the ‘creative’ category.

What? That is the best holiday ever! My favourite weird icecream flavours are bread & marmalade (with actual breadcrumbs in, such a great texture) and lemon & basil, both from the amazing Gelateria della Musica in Milan. So sad I won’t be there to go and get my fix tomorrow! xxx
