Summer is upon us and nothing goes better with a hot day than a delicious ice cream sundae. So it’s the perfect time to stock up on this creamy treat! But the days of simple flavors are over.  Toss out that vanilla ice cream and check out these crazy flavors. They’ll be sure to satisfy that sweet tooth and you’ll never buy another carton of plain chocolate ice cream again!

Front Porch Sweetie Tea

The best of both worlds have finally come together: sweet tea and ice cream.  I expect that my fellow southern belles are thinking, “Amen”! This tasty treat is made with sweet tea vanilla ice cream and has chunks of teacake mixed right in. What could be better on a hot summer night in the south?

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream Goat Cheese with Red Cherries

Goat cheese in ice cream? I know, I’m a bit skeptical, myself. Word on the street, however, is that this combo actual tastes very similar to cherry cheesecake with a bit of tang from the goat cheese. I don’t know about you, but I’m always up for trying something new in the ice cream department.

Maple Valley Creamer Maple Bacon

Apparently maple and bacon aren’t just breakfast staples anymore; they’re taking over the ice cream world as well!  This sweet and salty dessert packs all the richness of maple syrup, with the salty taste of bacon that we all love.  I’m sure the man in your life won’t be able to resist it, either.

Ben & Jerry’s Late Night Snack

Picture this:  Your favorite television show is on.  You’re all snuggled up on the couch with tons of blankets and pillows, enjoying this down time.  Suddenly, an intense craving for a snack hits.  You want something sweet, but maybe something salty too…. Ben & Jerry’s Late Night Snack ice cream is the answer to your dilemma! This vanilla bean ice cream has a salty caramel drizzle in it, plus, fudge covered potato chips.  That’s right. Fudge covered potato chips.  Don’t knock it ‘til you try it!

Haagen-Dazs Green Tea

If sweet tea isn’t your thing, maybe this green tea flavored ice cream will tickle your taste buds.  It’s made with Japanese matcha green tea and has a smooth, delicate flavor.  Though don’t expect to get the same health benefits from a cone of this as you would from a cup of the tea.

Breyer’s Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mints

The Girls Scout Cookies that we all dream of all year long are now available in your ice cream!  This chocolate-y mint ice cream has a fudge swirl and is packed full of chopped Thin Mint cookies.  Need I say more? (There is also a Somoa Cookie flavor!)

If you didn’t want ice cream before reading this, you do now!

I am a 2015 graduate of Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in communication, journalism. Upon graduation, I moved to Nashville, Tennessee to work for my college sorority, AOII. I am currently the Assistant Director of Communications of AOII and Editor of our internationally-circulated magazine, To Dragma.

I'm a fitness enthusiast through and through. I love weightlifting, running and boxing, and I am always up for a new workout! I am also a coffee addict with a killer sweet tooth. When I'm not at work or at the gym, you can find me scoping out the latest and greatest coffee and donut spots in Nashville. 

I've been part of the Her Campus team since 2012, when I joined App State's team of writers. I was the CC of my chapter my senior year, as well as a Chapter Advisor. I have remained a CA since graduating, and I love having the opportunity to stay connected to Her Campus in this role!
