The Most Outlandish Ice Cream Flavors From Van Leeuwen
Everyone has their favorite ice cream flavors. Maybe it's vanilla. Or chocolate. It could even be something more complex and uncommon, like raspberry truffle or honeycomb. But how would you feel if someone told you they can't get enough Kraft mac and cheese ice cream?
Oddly enough, things can get more far-fetched than you'd expect because Van Leeuwen has an assortment of strange flavors. Yes, they have normal pints, such as cookie dough and mint chip, but let's take a look at five of the most unusual they've offered.
Hidden Valley Ranch
Earlier this year, Van Leeuwen launched their Hidden Valley Ranch collaboration. In a test taste with Food & Wine, Stacey Leasca said the editors called it "garlic powder-forward" and would enjoy dipping it into fries. We personally prefer ranch over blue cheese, so we can't say we're disappointed this is no longer on shelves.
Pizza
Pizza ice cream is one thing we would never consider trying. After tasting a hot dog-flavored ice cream, we quickly learned that savory treats don't need to become desserts. This item has tomatoes, flour and mozzarella cheese. No, thank you. We won't make that mistake again.

Kettle Corn
Kettle corn has to be the least offensive flavor on this list, yet virtually unheard of in the ice cream world. We imagine it would be a sweet but buttery and salty flavor, which we would be more than happy to try. If it also sounds appealing to you, you can purchase it now until Dec. 26 at a Walmart near you.
Dill Pickle
We're that one person who has an unhealthy addiction to anything that involves pickles—if you get an extra one with your meal, we'll undoubtedly be eyeing it until you offer it to us. So, to say the least, we wouldn't swear off dill pickle ice cream. According to the brand itself, it has a tangy but sweet taste, and they warn you not to knock it until you try it.
Kraft Mac & Cheese
Kraft's mac and cheese has been on our minds since they reissued their iconic Spongebob-shaped noodles. Did you also know they had an intense merch shop with jewelry and tees? It looks like things just got wackier because they brought back their ice cream flavor with Van Leeuwen. Thankfully, the brand notes it by its butter and cheese flavor, not any spices. We can get down with that.
