12 Unique Ice Cream Flavors You Can Taste All Year Round

Here's a list of delightfully strange ice cream flavors that'll help you keep your cool no matter what the season!

You can very well count using only one hand how many times it’s rained in the past couple of weeks. Summer has indeed arrived, and it continues to make a statement by letting everyone feel how warm it is. Add that to water supply not being as steady as it used to be, too. Thankfully for us, however, there is no shortage of cold, creative treats that help us combat the hot weather, no matter what month and season. 

If you’re tired of the usual creamy delights and regular, everyday pastries, here are a few good ice cream flavors that will make you scratch your head and look twice before indulging in full force. 

1. Sampaguita, Illustrado

Among many of Illustrado’s hearty meals and flavorful pastries is this ever unique flower-tasting ice cream! If you’re going the healthy route, perhaps this is the choice for you. No one ever goes against plant-based snacks, right? At only P250 a serving, treat yourself to a dessert that screams distinct Filipino goodness in every spoon.

Thanks to the Netflix movie, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, there’s been a brief uproar on social media as to whether or not Yakult is actually “Korean yogurt.” Whatever the case, Yakult has been around Asian household pantries for as long as we can remember, and there really is no debate there.

Depending on your liking, you can add toppings and dips, too!

 

8. Taho, Bono Gelato
