I was lurking on a writers website today and noticed a daily writing prompt; an ice cream flavor you create. It could be written as a short story, or advertisement.
This is what I came up with:

There's a famous ice cream company that boasts thirty one flavors; but the one they never created is blueberry cheesecake swirl. That's because it is my creation, and quite by accident.
It was the summer of '06, on a hot, humid, no wind what-so-ever kind of day. I had just finished washing my car, letting the hose spray water on my bare feet for a minute before going inside the house.
I opened the fridge and pulled out the blueberry cheese I made earlier. I got the vanilla bean ice cream out of the freezer, and plopped a big scoop onto a plate. I added a slice of the cheesecake on top, headed back out the door to lean against my freshly washed car and enjoy my dessert.

I forgot about the hose laying near the tires where a small mound of soap suds had pooled around it. I slipped in the suds and as I fell, my plate went flying and landed upside down on the trunk of my car, while I landed in the pile of soap suds. I stood up, brushed myself off and went to grab what was left of my dessert.
It was melting and dripping down the side of the trunk. I turned the plate over and shoved what was left back onto the plate. I used my fingers to eat it because the spoon I brought was now under the car . The blueberry cheesecake was mixed with the ice cream and I have to say, it was delicious. A new flavor, and one of my favorites.



This is a work fiction. However, I did find some good recipes for an ice cream like this. =)
