Said Tyra Banks, quoted in "Tyra Banks Says It’s ‘Hot Ice Cream.’ Everyone Else Just Says, ‘Huh?’/Even those who have tried it struggle to describe the model’s baffling concoction. That includes Ms. Banks herself" (NYT).
The product is sold at Banks's "ice cream" shop in Sydney, Australia. In the U.S., you can't sell something as "ice cream" that doesn't meet the USDA definition of ice cream. That's why I put quotes around "ice cream." This is an American blog.
Some say ice cream will end in heat,
Some say in ice.From what I’ve tasted of defeat
I hold with those who favor heat....

I got your hot ice cream right here.
I scanned the USDA regulations. It's ridiculous that they go to such lengths to define a pretty straightforward product.
What I really mean is that it's ridiculous that they HAVE TO go to such lengths to define a pretty straightforward product.
"“It tasted like chewed-up arrowroot biscuits that your toddler spat out,” she said in an email. “It just tasted like soggy biscuits. As far as texture it was just like water, not thick in the slightest, just water. And it was warm. Not hot, not cold, mildly more than room temperature. The kind of temperature that if it was a coffee I would say it had gone cold.”"
Sounds unappealing.
To quote a famous Australian, yeah nah. Affogato is as close as I’ll get to whatever she’s selling…
Mr. Forward wins the thread.
Can’t let fried ice cream go without a mention…
I ticked off one of my sisters once when she offered me homemade hot chocolate fudge sauce as an ice cream topping. I simply said I didn't see the point in putting something on my ice cream that would melt it.
I once tested the theory that you could put chocolate chip ice cream in the microwave and the chocolate chips would absorb the microwave radiation at a faster rate than the surrounding ice cream, giving you an ice cream treat with melted hot fudge inside.
Turned out, "Wince Cream" would be a perfect name for the outcome.
Cream ‘o’ Wince reads better…

Microwave heating works by exciting the water molecules, which ice cream has more of than chocolate chips do.
Tastes like mama… a la Azteca
[shrug] If it's anything like the chocolate of Spanish chocolate and churros, I'm in.
If it's anything like the description Mary Beth posted (from the article?), I'm out.
Try cold ice cream in a hot cup of coffee to enjoy the best of the temperature gradient.
Paraphrasing the winning Mr. Forward, I've got your unconstitutional government overreach right here:
> In the U.S., you can't sell something
> as "ice cream" that doesn't meet
> the USDA definition of ice cream
We sell non-sterilizing jabs as vaccines, thereby justifying general mandates. The masks are off and people are openly skeptical with evidence.
I was trying to make sure that the consistency wasn’t familiar in the mouth...
LOL! I'll bet.
If Ben and Jerry's made this it would be called The Lovin' Spoonful.
