No unicorns were harmed in the making of this ice cream

This past weekend, the Wicked Cacao food stand at The Sheds@1Fox in Johannesburg was selling cones of Unicorn Blood and Grim ice cream. Nightmarish and grisly as they sound, these confections are actually the most beautiful sweet dreams we’ve seen in ages.

The Unicorn Blood cone features strawberry ice cream with lashings of white chocolate ganache and a generous cloud of candyfloss, while the Grim offering is made with housemade chocolate ice cream, brownies and fudge, drowned in caramel, and then topped with Wicked Cacao’s 65% couverture chocolate and gold dust. They sound frightening, right?

The ice creams were on sale for R30 this past Saturday and Sunday at The Sheds@1Fox to celebrate spring. But don’t worry, you can get your hands on some more soon.

Wicked Cacao owner Brittni Owen jokes, “I’ll be making them every weekend from now on, unless a never-ending blizzard sweeps across Joburg.” Brittni’s really looking forward to experimenting with more flavours: “I want to keep them traditional enough so people can relate, yet over the top enough so people can have a one-of-a-kind sugary experience.”
