Pickle ice cream is now a reality

Pickles have been enjoying a moment for many moments now. From pickle mozzarella sticks to bacon pickle fries and even pickle beers and pickle martinis, it seems like almost everything under the sun can — and will — be pickle-flavored.

There’s even soft-serve ice cream that tastes like those vinegar-soaked treats! Pickle-flavored ice cream is a genius creation on offer at the Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co., a spot in New York’s Upper West Side.

Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co. was created by Jacob Hadjigeorgis, the founder of Jacob’s Pickles and Maison Pickle. The fast-casual restaurant has dumplings, noodles, a pickle kiosk and yes, pickle-flavored soft-serve ice cream.

Check out a picture of the pale-green soft-serve treat, as posted on Twitter by @greenietravels:

The New York Times compared the dessert to “cucumber frozen yogurt,” which sounds refreshing!

As of now, the pickle ice cream is still listed on the Lucky Pickle Dumpling Co.’s website menu, and you can see more images of it — like this one and this one — on the restaurant’s Instagram page.
