Shark Ice Cream

What could be more random and fun than Shark Week? It’s a week to celebrate sharks, a creature that inexplicably feared more than others, despite the fact that they don’t actually want to eat people.

People celebrate Shark Week by watching cheesy “Sharknado” movies and learning about sharks. I thought I’d try something different this year, so I came up with a shark ice cream option. Keep reading for the recipe.

Why Shark Ice Cream?

Some of you may be wondering, why shark ice cream? My only response would be “why not?” This is a celebration in the summertime, and what makes summer better than ice cream!

The only other reason I can give is these awesome shark gummies! Now, I’m not usually a fan of gummies in my ice cream, but my kids are, and who can resist a shark-shaped candy?
