At first glance, “Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream looks exactly like fried chicken drumsticks. Inside each yellow and white striped bucket emblazoned with a giant chicken are nine crispy, crunchy coated drumsticks. With just one bite, you quickly realize this is NOT fried chicken — it’s ice cream! It’s a playful, intricate ice cream creation that has taken over TikTok.

The faux fried chicken is the genius invention of artisanal ice cream truck Life Raft Treats. Life Raft Treats reinvents classic ice cream truck treats in Charleston, South Carolina. This cute, cool treat is a mix of childhood favorites: 

  • Smooth and creamy ice cream
  • Crunchy chocolate biscuits
  • Crispy Corn Flakes

Winner, winner, chicken dinner…er…dessert.

Is There Such a Thing as Fried Chicken Ice Cream?

Yes, there really is such a thing as Fried Chicken Ice Cream, and it’s cluckin’ good. However, it’s not chicken-flavored ice cream. This tastes nothing like chicken. Fried Chicken Ice Cream is actually a frozen dessert made to look like fried chicken hence its name: “Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream.

“Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream is a frozen treat that is made of:

  • Waffle-flavored ice cream dipped in caramelized white chocolate
  • Crushed Corn Flakes cereal
  • Chocolate cookies

The ice cream and white chocolate coating mimic chicken meat and skin. The crushed cereal resembles fried chicken batter, The chocolate cookie center imitates the chicken bone found in a real chicken drumstick. Each bucket of chicken ice cream is made with locally-farmed dairy and eggs.
This cool creation was invented by pastry chef Cynthia Wong of Life Raft Treats. Life Raft Treats is “the only award-winning, chef-driven artisanal ice cream truck in South Carolina,” according to Life Raft Treats. Wong is a six-time James Beard Foundation Award semifinalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef.

What Does Fried Chicken Ice Cream Taste Like?

Fried Chicken Ice Cream tastes like waffle cone and vanilla ice cream coated in Corn Flakes. This no-bake, ice cream dessert is creamy, crunchy, sweet, and salty — all at the same time. When you bite into each drumstick, there is a loud crunch. It’s the same crunch heard when biting into extra crispy fried chicken.

This creative ice cream looks like tender, juicy pieces of fried chicken coated in a golden, crunchy batter, but it’s really a sweet treat! This Fried Chicken Ice Cream does not contain chicken.
