For National Ice Cream Day on July 17th, Fuller's is launching the House of Ice Cream pop-up and it will be serving unconventional ice cream concoctions, including its buffalo milk ice cream topped with fried chicken, chips and hot sauce. The menu of ice cream and fries or ice cream and fried chicken can be topped with the Longbottom & Co. hot sauce, and while the buffalo milk ice cream is made with dairy, a vegan-friendly version made with coconut milk base will be available as an alternative.
Also on the menu at the House of Ice Cream will be a selection of sweet items like sundaes and boozy ice cream floats and macarons, plus a creativity-inspiring build-your-own ice cream station.
