French Fry Ice Cream Pops Are Finally A Thing

There is nothing more glorious than dipping a French fry into soft serve ice cream, letting the crispy, fatty potato scoop up a dollop of rich, sweet cream and popping it into your mouth. The sugar hits first, soft and mild, then the salt, sharper, cutting through the velvety, creamy texture. French fries and ice cream may have been considered unconventional at one point, a quirky combo that only the most adventurous salty-sweet lovers would have considered. Now, though, it’s a classic, a combination that most fast food aficionados have sought out at particularly indulgent times in their lives.
But you don’t have to visit the drive-thru to capture that iconic flavor anymore, at least for a while. That’s because Ore-Ida and GoodPop are joining forces to create the Fudge n’ Vanilla French Fry Pop, a fudge-y pop that’s literally rolled in crispy potato bits for that salty sweet flavor combo you once had to curate for yourself.
The fry pop features a vanilla oat milk-based ice cream center, which is then blanketed by a fudge shell layer. The whole pop is dipped into the potato pieces and covered with another thin layer of chocolate. It’s crispy and creamy, salty and sweet, capturing a yin and yang of both flavors and textures in one undeniably fun package.
