[Life Raft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-is-good-ice-cream) Treats crafted the Hungry Dad Father’s Day Tray as a deceptive, shareable dessert that permits people to eat ice cream for dinner. This ice cream creation is served on an aluminum dish and each tray contains something that looks like a savory item but is actually 100% dessert.

With peas and carrots made of white chocolate and crunchy pearls, creamed corn made from bourbon ice cream and white chocolate niblets, this Father's Day dessert promises to win over those with a sweet tooth. There's also ice cream in the form of mashed potatoes and gravy and the most standout inclusion is Life Raft Treats’ [faux fried chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-scream-tender), complete with a richly textured outer layer and a chocolate cookie “bone" on the inside.

With stout and bourbon ice cream, this exclusive Life Raft Treats is full of flavors that dads will remember.
