Lobster Ice Cream

If this blistering heat wave hasn’t tipped you off already, let me tell you that the summer season is in full swing. A timeless remedy to beat the heat is ice cream. Just imagine, you walk into your neighborhood parlor on a particularly blistering afternoon. You order a double scoop, grab a spoon, and start digging in. As the first bite instantly cools your palate, you taste a little bit of ice, a little bit of cream, and a big chunk of crustacean? Say what?

No, that isn’t a typo. Ben & Bill’s Chocolate Emporium serves lobster ice cream. According to their website, they “buy cooked lobsters from a local lobster pound, pick the meat, butter it, and then fold it into the ice cream.” The sweet shop has four locations in Maine and Massachusetts, and the butter flavored ice cream is one of their most popular items for shipping. The unique flavor was created to prove to customers that Ben and Bill’s really makes their own ice cream. Order some by clicking here.
