Crawfish Ice Cream Is Turning Heads

HOUSTON, TX - If you thought you’d seen it all during crawfish season, think again.

A Texas ice cream shop is going viral for serving up a dessert that’s got people talking...crawfish ice cream. I get the whole spicy-sweet thing, but...we're not talking about just sprinkling crawfish boil or Tony's Seasoning on some ice cream. Were talking about crawfish boil, garlic a crawfish embedded on top of your ice cream.

Is this something so crazy that it just might work? It seems the answer is "Yes".

But, it's not just ice cream served with a crawfish on top.

According to WAFB, the dessert starts with an ice cream base that Red Circle infuses with butter, garlic, Cajun seasoning, and real crawfish flavor. Then, for presentation a whole cooked crawfish is placed right on top of the scoop.

How Crawfish Ice Cream Is Made

Red Circle Ice Cream cooks down the blend of butter, spices, and crawfish, extracting the crawfish boil flavor before mixing it into the cream base. Once it's churned, it creates an ice cream that is still sweet, but also has a crawfish kick.

If I'm being honest, I'd really like to try this. As we know in Acadiana, taking some risks with recipes often leads to great things. Once I put crawfish boil into my pot of boiling bratwursts and they came out delicious.
