# French Fry-Infused Ice Creams Coolhaus is Now Selling Pints of Milkshake & Fries Ice Cream By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2018-10-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milkshake-fries-ice-cream References: [delish](https://www.delish.com/food-news/a23516212/coolhaus-milkshake-fries-ice-cream/) & [jet](https://jet.com/product/product/3cd19e54fba04e399030e967d81c9573) Many people would argue that French fries dipped into a shake is the ultimate culinary pairing and now [Coolhaus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairyfree-ice-cream-cones) is making the combo official with the debut of its new Milkshake & Fries ice cream. Just as the name suggests, Coolhaus' new Milkshake & Fries ice cream takes the salty taste of French fries and pairs it with the sweetness of [vanilla ice cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-debuts). However, the brand's take on the pairing is slightly more gourmet, with Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream making up the base, and a combination of milk chocolate malt balls and [shoestring French fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-fried-french-fries) used for the add-ins. The result is a sweet and salty treat that lets you enjoy a classic fast food pairing without the need to hit up your local drive-thru.
