A scoop of vanilla ice cream is very nice, but there’s plenty of scope for ice cream to get a lot more interesting. We’re talking colourful, Willy Wonka–style creations, ice cream with savoury ingredients folded through and flavours you're more likely to find on dinner plates than in cones. These outrageous ice creams are beautiful and bizarre, and we’ve ranked them from weird to weirdest.
