Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Ice Cream Exists, And We’re Cautiously Optimistic About It

We’ve seen Hot Cheetos used as an unexpected ingredient in some pretty classic dishes — mac and cheese, Thanksgiving turkeys, etc. — but we’ve never seen it used quite like this. In case you haven’t heard, you can now buy Hot Cheetos-infused ice cream from an ice cream shop in California.

No, this is not a drill. Someone out there actually combined these spicy, fiery red corn puffs with actual ice cream and, to be honest, it doesn’t sound like a terrible combination.

The store in question is a new, LA-based ice cream shop called Drill’d Ice Cream, and it’s a store known for its quirky ice cream combinations. The snack-infused concoction sits under the name “Hot as Hell” on the restaurant’s menu, and it’s a blend of Hot Cheetos and vanilla ice cream that’s topped off with crushed Hot Cheetos. The specialty ice cream itself costs $7.50, and you can order it in a cup or in waffle cone.
