Almost everyone loves ice cream and almost everyone loves lobster. So it would stand to reason that almost everyone would love lobster ice cream, right? Okay, maybe not, but that’s what the folks at Ben & Bill’s Chocolate Emporium in Bar Harbor, Maine are hoping. Though they’re known mainly for their chocolate and candy, the gang at Ben & Bill’s also makes lobster ice cream. That’s a picture of it below. According to their website, “we buy cooked lobster meat from a local lobster pound, chop it up, butter it, and fold it into the ice cream.” Sounds simple enough, but is it simply delicious? And the question we have to ask is: Would you eat it?

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
