I Tried the Van Leeuwen Ranch Ice Cream (And Asked Chefs How They’d Eat It)

By now, you have probably heard the news: There’s a new ice cream flavor in town, and that flavor is ranch dressing (Hidden Valley Ranch, to be specific). We can get through a few of your questions right off the bat: Yes, there’s really a ranch-flavored ice cream; no, it’s not a joke. Announced on March 9 in advance of National Ranch Day, which was March 10 (this is, indeed, a real thing), ice cream wizards Van Leeuwen’s newest ~*weird flavor*~ has been revealed to be a collab with Hidden Valley Ranch (a.k.a. your favorite ranch-obsessive’s favorite grocery store ranch)—and the beloved brand’s newest stunt drops today, March 20. If you’ve read this far, you probably have more questions and concerns, and let me anticipate them and offer some answers. Yes, I tried it—and I asked some of my favorite chefs to help me figure out what to eat it with.
