Frozen Burger-Inspired Desserts

The Carl's Jr. Ice Cream Brrrger is Looks Savory But is Sugary

— May 29, 2012 — Lifestyle
Until stumbling upon the Carl's Jr. Ice Cream Brrrger, a person would probably have never described a burger as surgery. Just in time for the hot summer season, this 'hamburger' is exactly the sweet treat that people will want to keep themselves cool and deliciously happy. It may look like a squished burger, but it is actually a clever version of a sandwich ice cream bar.

The Carl's Jr. Ice Cream Brrrger features a chocolate ice cream patty held between two sugar cookie buns. What appears to be ketchup, mustard and lettuce is actually colored icing. Currently available at only two locations in Southern California, it is described as "not bad" and "extremely sweet" by two lucky individuals, Nancy Luna and Chris, who already tried it.
