Unusual, But Delicious Ice Cream Toppings

Forget the typical hot fudge, whipped cream, and sprinkles. There are much more exciting things to top your ice cream with, and they may not be what you expect. If you’re interested in trying something new and you love a good salty-sweet combo, try these weird ice cream toppings.

French Fries

If you’ve ever dipped your French fries into a Wendy’s chocolate frosty, this idea shouldn’t seem that weird to you. After all, french fries taste good with just about anything.

Bacon

The smoky saltiness of bacon actually tastes amazing with creamy ice cream. Just make sure to use a neutral flavor like vanilla, as the bacon can be a bit overpowering.

Balsamic Vinegar

A drizzle of balsamic vinegar on your ice cream will take your tastebuds to a vinegary-sweet paradise. 

Chili Powder

Chili is a common ingredient in chocolate as its spiciness can bring out the richness of the chocolate. We promise you won’t regret putting a few sprinkles of chili powder on chocolate ice cream. 

Pretzels

The ultimate salty-sweet combination. Crushed salted pretzels pair beautifully with just about any ice cream flavor.
