7 of the craziest new ice cream flavours to try in Toronto
Gone are the days of boring ice cream scoops in Toronto.
This city is pushing the flavour envelope on frozen dessert so far that some of the newest bizarre creations are almost unrecognizable. Though they’re definitely still edible.
If you haven’t noticed the newest ice cream trends you’ve either never been outside or never logged into Instagram. Either way, here are some of the best (read: craziest) new cones and cups you have to try in Toronto.
Cookie Monster – Fugo Desserts

You know when the Globe and Mail‘s food critic Chris Nuttall-Smith scathingly describes Sweet Jesus like “a medical exhibit from the lost causes cabinet of a journeyman Victorian-era surgeon” — you’re going.

Taro with a Twist – Arctic Bites
Toronto is welcoming Thai ice cream with just as much vigour as it welcomes Thai everything else. Except this isn’t just taro-flavoured ice cream, it’s also rolled into little scrolls first. Adorable.

Ice cream tacos – Booyah
No better way to beat the heat wave ☀️😅

Let’s face it, cones are sooo 2014. Ice cream tacos, that’s where it’s at. It’s like a way sexier version of an ice cream sandwich: easy to hold, but you don’t look like you’re 4. Or maybe you do. Whatever.

Apple Rumble – Junked Food
The only possible rival to an ice cream taco? An ice cream donut, of course. Whatever way we can invent to pack more sugar into less space, bring it on. In fact, just fill that bowl with sugar and give me a spoon.

Chocolate, crisp cricket and mealworm – Death in Venice
As if it couldn’t get more insane, Death in Venice takes the cake (cone?). Apparently mole gelato wasn’t enough—this flavour needed pecan-pumpkin seed crumble, radish seedlings (yes, you read that right) and a healthy sprinkling of crunchy crickets and mealworms. Yup.
Address: 536 Queen Street West
Phone: 416-301-2859
Horchata con Tuna – Seven Lives Paleteria

Before you run off in horror (sorry if you have already), this one doesn’t actually have tuna in it. Phew. It’s tequila-infused prickly pear sorbet in horchata, topped with walnuts. A perfect ending scoop for your 7-scoop ice cream hop. We’re kidding, please don’t do that.
