Have you ever seen a black ice cream? These Reddit users shared photos of ice creams that stand out for their flavors and appearance!
Watermelon Ice Cream
You can get an ice cream cone like this one at ‘Ca Lem’ in Montreal, according to Reddit user carlinha1289. This watermelon-flavored ice cream cone doesn’t have chocolate chips or any seeds at all, but still is one of people’s favorite.
Marshmallow Topped Ice Cream
Reddit user bearsdidit had one of these in the ‘Penny Ice Creamery’ in Santa Cruz, California. He mentioned: “I prefer the ice cream at ‘Salt and Straw’ but the marshmallow toppings on those ones were amazing. It didn’t have any sprinkles and I’m glad it was that way because it would have taken away from the experience of the marshmallows.” Undoubtedly, that’s one of those unique ice cream flavors!
Mango and Dragon Fruit Ice Cream
That was a mango and dragon fruit ice cream, according to Reddit user lxnd2. The user also expressed that it had a really good flavor and more of a sorbet texture after she bought it in a vegetarian cafe called ‘DAMA’ in Hong Kong. She added: “The dragon fruit tasted rare but the pinky fleshy one is the most ‘tropical’ and sweet, more like a creamier and less sour kiwi.”
Maple Strawberry Ice Cream
Reddit user Abb890 revealed that he had one of these maple strawberry unique ice cream flavors that tasted amazing and it’s now his new favorite ice cream flavor. He also mentioned he bought the cone in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada and that his goal was to find a place where they serve this flavor in the United States.
Vanilla Ice Cream with Honeycomb
Reddit user yamete shared the image of this vanilla ice cream with honeycomb. He indicated it tasted really good and definitely he would eat it again if it wasn’t that sweet. He added: “It was served in a taiyaki cone which you can’t really see in the picture, but overall one of the better foods I ate from a food vendor in Korea.”

Matcha-Milk Swirl Ice Cream
Reddit user grumpyroach mentioned that she bought one of these Matcha-Milk Swirl unique ice cream flavors in a Taiyaki cone in Los Angeles. The fact that it is swirled with the smooth milk makes it so much better for the texture not being so icy. She also revealed it’s a mochi waffle batter, much chewier than normal pancake or waffle batter.
Coconut and Mango Ice Cream
Reddit user NicolasCGN revealed that he ordered a coconut and mango ice cream, but when he was eating it, he realized that it looked like a half-eaten poached egg on a waffle cone. He also mentioned that the ice cream was delicious but user [borrado] complained that there’s never only mango flavored ice cream at the shops around him, it’s always mango and raspberry, or mango with another flavor.

You can get one of those unique ice cream flavors cones at Meadowlark Dairy, Pleasanton, California as Reddit user rainyjewels revealed. She mentioned it cost about US$ 3 at a place known for great and cheap soft-serve ice cream. A reply from user [borrado] mentioned: “You can’t eat it fast enough when it’s piled high.

Unicorn Shaped Mango & Strawberry Custard Ice-Cream
Reddit user Froolio mentioned she had one of the unique ice cream flavors, a unicorn shaped mango & strawberry custard ice cream in a fish shaped cone near Chinatown in New York City.

They also have this ice cream cone in other locations like Boston and Miami.”
Fried Maple Leaves with Ice Cream
Reddit user justhere4this commented that his ice cream with fried maple leaves that he had in Osaka, Japan was pretty delicious. Another user, nicknamed Investigate311 remarked that “the leaves are packed in salt for a year before coating in a mildly sweetened tempura batter.”
Maple Blueberry Pancake Ice Cream
If you want an ice cream cone with maple blueberry pancake, one of the unique ice cream flavors, you must go to ‘Lolly’s Creamery’ in Virginia Beach, according to this Reddit user. He also added: “The pancake flavor comes from semi crispy buttery cubes of pancake inside. Kind of like square chunks of graham cracker inside ‘Ben n Jerry’s’ strawberry cheesecakes. They have Golden Oreo fudge and Lemon Blueberry Tart.”
Vanilla/ Black Currant Ice Cream
Reddit user MeddlinQ commented he had a vanilla and black currant, one of the unique ice cream flavors, in the city of Prague, Czech Republic. The user mentioned it was from Budejovicka metro station, and you can find it in the square in between the two metro entrances where there’s a deli shop called ‘Liberske lahudky’. “There are only 6 flavors and you can combine them all”, he added.
A Tall Ice-Cream Cone
Reddit user lookalikes revealed that he had to lick this ice cream cone more than fifty times to finally get to the bottom of it. Being served a cone like that must be the dream of any fan of this sweet treat. Although, we also imagine it would be hard to keep it from falling on the ground after just a few licks of one of these unique ice cream flavors.
Japanese Strawberry Soft Serve Ice Cream
Reddit user Wong617 revealed he had this Japanese strawberry, one of the unique ice cream flavors, in Osaka. He also added: “It tasted super good and very refreshing. Also the strawberry tasted so intensely like a strawberry, not like the ones we have in the United States. I’m from California and I think we have the best strawberries in the US for sure but Japan has good strawberries even at the stores.”
Long Long Ice Cream
Reddit user Clawpawsomeish was surprised when almost all the comments in his post were referring to the fact that the cone he was holding was square, unlike the United States, where people are used to having a conical shape. He also mentioned that one of these unique ice cream flavors was from the Taiwan market but did not have enough flavor and was too icy.
Blue Ice Cream Cone
While some Reddit users thought it was a blue moon, one of the unique ice cream flavors, and that the ice cream parlor could have nicknamed it ‘Cookie Monster’, user Bananaman-iscool revealed that it was a ‘Dinosaur Crunch’ flavor, from one ice cream shop near his house. He revealed: “It’s basically vanilla dyed blue with cookie bits.”
Salty Liquorice Ice Cream
Reddit user [borrado] revealed this Salty Liquorice ice cream called ‘Salmiakki’ in a vanilla black cone that he bought in Finland. Definitely one of the unique ice cream flavors. Salmiakki is a popular Nordic summer treat made with salty black licorice flavored with ammonium chloride. He also mentioned it tasted good but the cream does take a bit away from the saltiness.
Activated Charcoal Pineapple and Vanilla Ice Cream
That’s an activated charcoal pineapple and vanilla, one of the unique ice cream flavors, according to Reddit user CpKSparky. When he was asked about the flavor, if it was bitter, sweet or starchy he replied: “It actually tasted just like a normal pineapple flavor with the same texture as açaí ice cream.”
Conclusion
There are a lot of unique ice cream flavors out there. You can notice different flavors just by going one ice cream shop to another, but many unique flavors have also come to light in countries far from the United States, flavors that are truly striking! Achieving a combination that is visually appealing while also tasting great is a rare feat, yet these ice cream cones have managed to pull it off!
