Dill Pickles & Ice Cream: Is It Good?

 

A couple of weeks ago I decided to make Kool-Aid Pickles to try.  They were pretty good, so I started to think to myself, what else could pickles be good with.  Of course you have the usual pickle pairings, but I was looking for something weird that I had never tried.  After doing some research, I found something that sounded really interesting.  Putting dill pickles with vanilla ice cream.  I mean, it didn't sound very good, but many people had tried it and were pleasantly surprised.  So, of course I had to try it too!

I cut up some dill pickles I already had and topped my vanilla ice cream with it.  I made sure my first spoonful had pickle and ice cream on it.  Then I slipped the weird combo in my mouth.  At first the different taste kind of tripped me up.  Then I took a few more bites of the combo.  To be honest, it wasn't horrible.  But, was it good.  Would it be something I would go out of my way to make again?  No.  It wasn't something really special.

Then I thought to myself, is there anything else that could make this combination better?  I remembered just a couple weeks ago I made a jar of Cherry flavored Kool-Aid Pickles.  I wonder how this would taste with the vanilla ice cream.  I would think the cherry flavor would add a bit more to this combo.  So I cut up one of my Kool-Aid Pickles and put it on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  I grabbed a spoonful and popped it in.  Right away, without delay I enjoyed the taste of this combo.  Having the crunch from the pickle, with the ice cream was a great combo.  The Cherry taste with a bit of the dill flavor was actually the perfect combo with the ice cream.  It was a winner!  I will be doing this one again and I suggest all of you to give it a try.

So what are you waiting for?  Make some Kool-Aid Pickles, chop them up and try with some ice cream!
