Anybody want to help design an ice cream?
In my book, The Bad Twin, the heroine’s family owns an ice cream business, and I need some flavours to mention. The business is called Ice Cream Heaven, and it’s my idea that every flavour should have something to do with “heaven” (or goodness or happiness) in it.
So far, I’ve got:
Toffee Euphoria
Apricot Arcadia
Peachy Keen
Rapture Rum Raisin
Praline Perfection
and Bee’s Knees, which is honeycomb.
Any other ideas? Please, as many as you can think up, I need loads! Especially for chocolate.
Thank you, my creative friends!
Ruth says:
Holy Moly Melt (that’s a sort of chocolate/caramel concoction…)
The Rapture (just all the best ingredients in one icecream….like marshmallows, chocolate, caramel, fudge and streaks of strawberry…) – oh, wait, just saw you have a rapture one already…
Cherubic Chocolate
Seraphic Strawberry
Radiant Raspberry Ripple
Julie says:
I love Holy Moly Melt!
Those are great!
Any more?
Ruth says:
Ding dongs merrily on high
(Brit audience might not know about ding dongs though…i do because leilani lived on them in Boston!)

Rachel says:
Opting for alliteration, how about:
Virtuous vanilla fudge
Neapolitan nirvana
Righteous raspberry
Strawberry stairway (to heaven)
Heavenly honey
Blissful blueberry
PS: Adored Girl From Mars!
Nina says:
Now this is a challenge.I am thinking:
Chocolate nirvana
Elysium Deluxe- with a flake
Pearly Gate surprise – sherbet fizz with a flake
Hot Butterscotch sauce Utopia
Afterlife Mocha Ripple
and possibly Lucifer’s Nipples. After all, Lucifer was the brightest and best angel before the fall..

Michelle Willingham says:
Maybe something with Elysium? Elderberry Elysium? Okay, doesn’t sound THAT appetizing, but you get the idea…
Fiona Harper says:
Berry Bliss
Raspberry Rhapsody
Apricot Ambrosia
Praline Paradise
Chocolate Fudge Fantasy
Pure Vanilla (simple – as good vanilla should be)
Darkly Divine (rich dark chocolate)
Sacred Strawberry
Perfect Pavolva (with pieces of strawberry and meringue)
Blessed Banoffee
Sublime Lime
Lovely Latte
Merciful Mocha
I’m finding thinking up ice cream names so much more appealing than re-working the scene I just wrote!
Kate Johnson says:
Okay, I thought up a few of these, and then my computer restarted itself and began typing in Chinese. Weird.
Therefore: Mandarin Manna
Vanilla-Halla
Nutty Nirvana
(Smells Like) Praline Spirit
The Cocoa And The Glory
Pecan Paradise
Electric Choc Therapy
Banoffee Pie In The Sky
Julie says:
I totally love Electric Choc Therapy and (Smells Like) Praline Spirit, but alas, they are not things that the heroine’s mother or sister would use. (Nor, alas, Lucifier’s Nipples.) But totally what the heroine would suggest. So I may use those, I love them!
Raspberry Rhapsody is perfect! And Nutty Nirvana and Blissful Blueberry and Sublime Lime and definitely something with Elysium in it.
You guys rule.
Lacey Devlin says:
I WANT ICE CREAM!
Julie says:
I KNOW!!!
Kate Johnson says:
You could have a dark chocolate flavour: Ebony Elysium.
And maybe a sorbet: Cloud Lime?
I will admit to being quite please with (Smells Like) Praline Spirit. I kept trying to think of Nirvana in the Buddhist sense, but alas, Nineties grunge got in the way.
Fiona Harper says:
Cloud Lime, I love it. Can I buy some please?
Biddy says:
You could have Elderflower Elysium… good English flavour that. Would probably work for Elderflower sorbet.
Maggi Sherwin says:
Pistachio Paradiso
Maggi Sherwin says:
And then there’s:
Stellar Strawberry
Celestial Mint Choc.
Blueberry Betelgeuse is probably taking is a bit far…
Julie says:
I’ve used Cloud Lime and Pistachio Paradiso.
Thank you! I’ll do a proper list in a little while, when I’ve recovered a bit.
Julie says:
Rachel, I’m so glad you enjoyed Girl from Mars!
Thank you for telling me.
