Making strange ice creams was my favorite hobby at the start of the covid lockdowns back in 2020, although, I always tried to make them good weird. Some favorites include spicy chili dark chocolate, cafe patron, Cabernet Sauvignon with nutella fudge swirl, saffron and honey, cardamom vanilla, summer truffle and honey, hennesey vanilla (SHOCKINGLY good), and bourbon pecan, but by far my crowning acheivement was a caprese ice cream sundae: riccota ice cream, basil gelato, and tomato sorbet, with balsamic caramel drizzle. It was next level unreal. Maybe I'll pick that hobby back up after this video

Cheese ice cream has loads of historical precedent. Its largely gone out of fashion more recently (though, its still popular in parts of the world) but in the overall history of ice cream its honestly not that weird

I've been fortunate enough to go to a couple high-end French restaurant where Trou-Normand were served, basically it's a palate cleanser between dishes. On one occasion, I was given a savoury curry ice (it was during a heat wave) and I must say it changed forever how I view iced confections. Since then, Parmesan Icecream, Tomato Icecream, Curry/Curcuma icecream have been eaten with delight. Try it, it's something else

That packet of cheese powder probably has tons of emulsifiers and other stuff in it that help the finished product come together smoothly. That's probably why the mac and cheese ice cream ended up the way it did.

4:12 I did not expect cake in an ice cream video

Here in the Philippines we have cheese ice cream "Quezo Real", it is really good. It has chunks of cheese in it. Sweet-salty goodness.

Here in Merida, Venezuela there is a 1000 thousand flavors ice cream store where I believe you could buy meat and beer flavored Ice cream, among many others, and they were very good. Edit. Wow so many likes. I'm a musician in Venezuela, if you want to learn to play an musical instrument through internet, I could teach you. It would help me a lot and I would be able to buy and eat weird flavoerd ice creams 😂 Thanks

One of my favourite Kitkat flavours I had in japan was wasabi, and I was really surprised. But I can see how it has trouble working in icecream. It should probably be paired with another flavor.

This made me think of when Brian David Gilbert did his own video on some weirder ice cream flavors that he likes to make, which were Pina Colada, peanut butter and lychee, and Old Bay. I would love to see Joshua try the Old Bay ice cream.

Here's the most weird ice cream I have ever had (only counting the ones I liked) : -beer -corn -Taro (it's a root) -cempasúchil (it's a flower) -sweet potato -peppermint sherbet (it was weird because it was all natural, with a bunch of the leaves and a pretty strong flavor)

Two fairly popular flavors in the Philippines that I never heard of before, avocado ice cream and purple yam (kind of like sweet potato) ice cream. The avocado grew on me. Refreshing and creamy without being cloyingly sweet.

Your passion for cooking is really infectious! So much stuff I bought for my kitchen along with the words: "If Papa says it's good and I need it, I need it." And all of it made my life so much better and easier. Love you, Joshua! Thank you!

I can never get enough of ice cream, even if it consists of the most weird flavors one can possibly imagine. As long as it's not like "earwax flavour"...

The mac and cheese one sounds weird but in the Philippines we have an ice cream flavor called queso royale with corn and cheese and it tastes amazing so...

LOVE your channel....your humor is the BEST!!!

There's a great little mom and pop gelato place near where I live that I frequent quite often. Everything there is made in-house and their gelato flavors (as well as their cookies, teas, chocolates, and other confections) change on a regular basis. There was one time where they had a gorgonzola cheese and honey gelato. While I was a little mystified at first, I was also very intrigued. I had never seen or heard of anything like this before. I got a medium sized scoop of it without sampling it first. It was DELICIOUS! It had this great sweet and tangy thing going on. It was perfectly balanced and there were actual bits of gorgonzola cheese in the gelato that gave it such a great texture. There were also these great swirls of honey throughout that were lovely, too. In conclusion, cheese in ice cream/gelato is indeed an amazing thing, and I believe that it should be more of a commonplace thing.

You guys are funny af, thank you for an other smile on my face yet again! And music guy, I hear you!! Everyone on the team be making these videos not just cooking but entertaining af!

The two finalist ice creams looks awesome. I wonder if Mac and Cheese has sodium citrate in it? That may explain the velvety texture. I definitely use it in my cheesy sauces for that luxurious texture. Looked online but not sure if the Australian Kraft mac and cheese contains the same as the US version. In general, I wonder if sodium citrate added to the warm milk for any ice cream custard would make it luxe!?

Nice job Josh, this feels like a return to your older stuff, very cool

Looks so good

Don't know if you'll see this josh but just got you're cookbook after watching you're vida for less than a month, you really sparked my passion for cooking again. Thanks and can't wait to start using the cookbook!

Wow, I love ice cream. Thanks so much for the upload. You’ve certainly improved my knowledge as a cook 🙋🏻‍♂️🤩

I'm gonna tell you guys. I don't usually go and buy random cookbooks often. I do every now and then. But I already have a lot and I also my college books. But Joshua's book is amazing. I believe that anyone could cook phenomenal food just by following all of the tools handed to you in this book. Outstanding Joshua! You did an awesome awesome job.

Where I’m from (south of France) we have a company called Pole Sud that does ice cream with whatever flavour you want. My parents had a restaurant and my boyfriend used to work for Pole sud so I tried a lot of different ice cream, the best out of the « weird » flavors for me were porcini mushroom, foie gras, and probably goat cheese. Surprisingly good! The goat cheese one is amazing with a tomato tarte tatin, it’s like a dessert that you eat as a starter. You should totally look up the company they make a lot of unusual things (a lot of classics too) but it could always give you ideas!

Kraft cheese powder has powdered milk in it. If you add a touch of powdered milk to your custard, it helps prevent ice crystals and makes the ice cream smoother.

The ice cream shop I work at has done some very interesting flavours, including turkey dinner, brisket, and kale salad

I think these all would be pretty awesome. YUM

we have so many varieties of cheese ice cream in the philippines so I'm not surprised that your version actually worked pretty well.

Well played Josh! A couple decades ago, I tried a Vanilla and Black Pepper icecream. I thought my friend was bonkers... But I must say, it was GREAT! and it made me rethink what deserts could be. I'm very curious to try the Wasabi ice cream, as I think that has some interesting potential... What surprised me was the Mac & Cheese recipe... And because of your comments regarding Cheesecake, I would certainly consider making it now. Excellent show Josh!

Favorite vid so far

The Mac and cheese ice from the company you mentioned is actually really good so I'm not surprised you liked your homemade version

Josh, you are a gift and an institution. Thanks for sharing this with us. Keep up the good work.

Amazing. You never disappoint with your content 😀

This was amazing 🤩

Im a big fan of herbs or spices in ice cream personally. Mandarin and thyme, lychee and elderflower, melon and basil, lemon myrtle, and of course the GOAT, orange and cardamom

How are these ideas both weird and hunger-inducing, good stuff man, good stuff 🔥

got THE BOOK on Monday, :D looking forward to appreciate fast food like it should be and more

I’ve had the most amazing cheese ice cream, such a rich flavor and creamy texture, I love it

The croissant one must be amazing great idea. You can also try to make french toast flavored ice cream. Its fantastic!

I love this video! I just want to put it out there, made a couple loafs of white bread after watching your video! I hope you make more bread making videos 😅

I LOVE WASABI ICECREAM!! We’ve been doing that for years at our fave hibachi!

Damn l love your videos!! Good food, good company!!

One of the ice cream highlights of my Japan trip was having wasabi soft serve in Miyajima. It was so good!

I’ve actually had wasabi ice cream before and it was delicious, like REALLY really good

謝謝你的分享，很喜歡你分享的內容！

Actually one of my favorite ice creams was bluebell chimichanga cheesecake. I really miss that one. These all look awesome

I’ve tried wasabi 🍨 and it’s delicious Should be a classic flavour Cheers from San Diego California

Reminds me of when Babish made that SpongeBob ‘bad breath’ sundae and literally made peanut, onion, and ketchup ice creams 🤣

I ordered the book it's supposed to arrive in few hours I'm so excited !!!

Tried Tom yum ice cream in Thailand, pretty good !

I like to make weird ones too like vegemite ice cream! Nice flavors Josh :)

At one of the restaurants I've worked for in the past we did some 'weird' ice cream flavours as well, from roasted bell peppers to watercress/bacon. Almost all of them were used in hearty-dishes, usually starters or second/third course. No churning at all, just freeze is and then pacotize which worked like a charm at creating a smooth and soft ice cream over and over. But we did more strange stuff like making gel out of hay to serve with a cheese dish for example. I must say, I've learned a lot of strange things there and it really opened my mind towards things that might sound strange. But, I must say, the best ice cream flavour I've ever had was pandan, without a doubt. Just regular plain ice-cream custard (we made it a bit different with stabilizers and stuff so it wouldn't melt during pacotizing) and instead of steeping with vanilla use pandan leaves. Shit was aromatic and brilliant! Also, don't forget about the OG weird flavour ice cream: black sesame. That shit is pure brilliance as well!

I NEED more icecream videos daddy josh

Of course it tastes good, anything that Joshua makes is good

I definitely want to try the croissant and kraft ice creams.

recently tried the van leeuwen kraft mac ice cream. and tbh i was very surprised with just how good it was

Josh out here making me buy even more kitchen appliances. I HAVE NO MORE ROOM FOR YOUR COOL CONTRAPTIONS 😩

Hey Josh, what do you do with the food that you cook on your show? Do you share it with your co-workers? Just curious ☺️

I keep watching because how Joahua explains the process of every step. He makes it accessible. I get him, and his hard work and effort to teach us

Hey Joshua! can you please post a recipe on how to make the perfect meringue cookie?

Man can Cook,Bake and make Ice Cream wow I'm impressed 😅

Perfect episode to have brought on local Houston ice cream hype machine Underground Creamery

the kraft mac and cheese doesn’t surprise me at how better it was then expected. iv been to some mexican desserts stores and they’ll sometime have queso ice cream. it’s quite literally one of the best ice cream flavors i’ve ever had

Ellerinize sağlık çok güzel olmuş 👍💕🤗🙏😋👌

On a rare occasion, I make a vanilla candied salmon ice cream and it is the bomb!

I love cheese ice cream! Its both sweet and creamy with kicks of saltiness of the cheese in it

4:12 Came for the ice cream Stayed for the *_CAKE_* 🎂 😩👌

love it

Finally an episode I can just watch and enjoy and not want to make any of 🤣

Buttered croissant with chocolate chunks and cherries would be so good

I've made Asparagus ice cream before and also an Irish Car Bomb ice cream. The Apsaragus was weird. But the Irish Car Bomb tasted amazing.

I believe the wasabi one has so much potential!! Kitkat has a wasabi flavor and i love it so theres definitely has to be some hidden gold in there

I've had Mac and cheese ice cream... it's astonishing how accurate it was lol. I've also had ice cream and caviar 🤯 it was so good. Worth the crazy price tag

Hello! I’m a Canadian living in Shizuoka City, Japan. We have wasabi ice cream here and it’s lovely! This might be a good place to start looking for a good recipe to copy.

i had chilli ice cream before it was pretty nice

We were on a road trip when we stopped at an Asian buffet. They had a bin of chocolate ice cream in the dessert area, and they also had wasabi in the sushi area. We were tired and goofy, so we decided to put the wasabi in the chocolate ice cream. It was actually good! (Mind you, this wasabi was not the “saucy” kind, but was like a dry-ish paste).

Nice blazers Papa!!

I saw a shop in Utah making Pistachio Basil a couple years ago.

The wasabi ice cream just primes memories from cars 2 haha

Have you ever made Vietnamese bun cha gao, or bun bo hue? I'd love to see your take on the rice vermicelli dishes. Thanks for the content.

Hi 👋 love the videos!

That Wasabi icecream sounds really nice

Love the weird flavours, it’s different 😝

Thank you!!!

Nice!!🤗❤👍

‘No more of that. That is bad’ lol

Awesome

Lmfao @1:40… I appreciate all the editing

The croissant icecream with chocolate sauce 🤤

My compressor ice cream maker is my favorite unnecessary gift of 2021.

Papa will make anything taste good 🔥

I just gotta say josh friends are live live eating all the food together

That was the exact reaction I had when I tried the Van Leeuwen Mac and cheese

I do love dark sesame ice cream that you can get in Japanese restaurants here in UK. But draw line at wasabi ice cream!

seeing all these strange flavors of ice cream remind me of watching old episodes of iron chef america. they were always making ice cream of whatever the secret ingredient was lol.

In Mexico there's cheese ice cream that many vendors sell on the street and personally it's one of my favorties :)

I eat green tea ice cream with chili oil, so your version of wasabi ice cream sounds great to me

i love the new groundhog motif

Try having Queso ice cream one of my fave Filipino flavoured ice cream. Ube is also delicious and also a Pandan icecream.
