At first glance, “Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream looks exactly like fried chicken drumsticks. Inside each yellow and white striped bucket emblazoned with a giant chicken are nine crispy, crunchy coated drumsticks. With just one bite, you quickly realize this is NOT fried chicken — it’s ice cream! It’s a playful, intricate ice cream creation that has taken over TikTok — and now it’s also been featured on ABC’s hit show, “Shark Tank”!

The faux fried chicken is made by artisanal ice cream truck Life Raft Treats. Life Raft Treats reinvents classic ice cream truck treats in Charleston, South Carolina. This cute, cool treat is made of childhood favorites:

  • Smooth and creamy ice cream
  • Crunchy chocolate biscuits
  • Crispy Corn Flakes

Winner, winner, chicken dinner…er…dessert.

Is There Such a Thing as Fried Chicken Ice Cream?

Yes, there really is such a thing as Fried Chicken Ice Cream, and it’s cluckin’ good. However, it’s not chicken-flavored ice cream. This tastes nothing like chicken. Fried Chicken Ice Cream is actually a frozen dessert made to look like fried chicken hence its name: “Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream.

“Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream is a frozen treat that is made of:

  • Waffle-flavored ice cream dipped in caramelized white chocolate
  • Crushed Corn Flakes cereal
  • Chocolate cookies

The ice cream and white chocolate coating mimic chicken meat and skin. The crushed cereal resembles fried chicken batter, The chocolate cookie center imitates the chicken bone found in a real chicken drumstick. Each bucket of chicken ice cream is made with locally-farmed dairy and eggs.

This cool creation was invented by pastry chef Cynthia Wong of Life Raft Treats. Life Raft Treats is “the only award-winning, chef-driven artisanal ice cream truck in South Carolina,” according to Life Raft Treats. Wong is a six-time James Beard Foundation Award semifinalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef.

Fried Chicken Ice Cream tastes like waffle cone and vanilla ice cream coated in Corn Flakes. This no-bake, ice cream dessert is creamy, crunchy, sweet, and salty — all at the same time.

Behold, the Glorious PieCaken: What Is It & Where Can I Get One (or 10)?

What if you could have cake and pie at the same time? Thanks to PieCaken, you don’t have to cram all the pies and cakes served at Thanksgiving onto one plate. Its creator, Zac Young, has done that for you in one neat slice that has pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and spice pie. You can have your cake — and pie — and eat it too along with fluffy, creamy cinnamon buttercream frosting and rich apple pie filling. 

The PieCaken is a cheeky confectionery creation that New York pastry chef Young made as an answer to turducken, a Thanksgiving chicken inside a duck inside a turkey. It was meant to be a limited time special in the New York City restaurant he worked at. However, one Instagram photo is all it took to create a pumpkin shortage and one of the world’s best desserts ever.

PieCaken is a round, three-layer pie and cake dessert mash-up invented by Zac Young in 2015.

In addition to the original Thanksgiving version, there is a flavor for every season, including

  • Christmas
  • Fourth of July
  • Mother’s Day
  • Passover
  • St. Patrick’s Day
  • Valentine’s Day

There are some PieCaken flavors, like the Original Thanksgiving Day PieCaken, Christmas PieCaken, St PatCaken, and Mother’s Day PieCaken, that are made each year in limited quantities. 

Other flavors like the Red Hot Red Velvet Piecupen with chocolate cream pie, red velvet cupcake, red hot cinnamon frosting, and Champagne truffle, and The Pielogen with toffee pecan pie, eggnog cheesecake, and chocolate caramel yule log, are now retired.

Each cake is 8 inches and weighs six lbs. The delicious dessert serves eight to 12 people who really, really like their cake and pie.

The dessert tastes like pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and spice pie — all together at once! The gooey pecan pie is crunchy, nutty, and buttery. 

The pumpkin is sweet and creamy with a hint of cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. The spice cake tastes similar with its warm, aromatic spice flavors like cinnamon and allspice. The apple pie filling with diced apples is sweet and tart. 

This dessert tastes like all our favorite desserts, pie, cake, and frosting, at the same time. It’s a burst of sweet flavors and textures, crunchy, soft, and creamy. It tastes like nothing you have ever had before.

The Original PieCaken is a three-layer dessert. There is pecan pie on the bottom, pumpkin pie in the middle, and spice cake on the top. Each layer is frosted with cinnamon buttercream frosting. The cake is slathered with the same cinnamon buttercream frosting on top plus it is topped with apple pie filling.

There are several versions of Zac Young’s Insta-famous dessert, including holiday versions. Each has three layers of pie or cake and frosting. These include the PassCaken for Passover and the Red Velvet PieCaken for Valentine’s Day.

The PassCaken includes:

  • Matzo-crusted coconut macaroon pie on the bottom
  • Flourless chocolate cake in the middle
  • Raspberry mousse on the top

The Red Velvet includes:

  • Chocolate pecan pie on the bottom
  • Vanilla cheesecake in the middle
  • Red velvet cake on the top

Other chefs have created their own versions of this popular multi-dessert creation like Three Brothers Bakery, which makes a 23 lbs. Pumpecapple Piecake with pumpkin pie stuffed into a pumpkin spice cake, pecan pie baked into a chocolate cake, and apple pie inside a spice cake that is layered with cream cheese frosting.

Misha’s Cupcakes makes the Spank Me Cake with chocolate Reese’s cake and vanilla dulce de leche, chocolate chip, and peanut butter cake. It is layered with Dulce de leche, white buttercream with chocolate chips, and buttercream mixed with Reese’s inside and topped with peanut butter and dulce de leche frostings on top.
