2 scoops (or more) vanilla ice cream

Vanilla Ice Cream with Olive Oil & Sea Salt (Yes, Really)

Sweet, salty, creamy, and just a little unexpected — this olive oil ice cream combo is shockingly good. A summer favorite you’ll want to keep on repeat.

Directions (OOLIO style):

2 minutes
easy
1 portion

Step 1: Scoop the ice cream.
Add a couple of scoops of vanilla ice cream into a bowl or glass. Something creamy and custard-y works best here — it’s all about that smooth base.

Step 2: Drizzle with OOLIO.
Pour olive oil right over the top — a slow, golden drizzle. Go just enough to coat, not drown. Let it pool slightly and soak into the edges.

Step 3: Add flaky salt.
A small pinch of sea salt brings the whole thing to life. It balances the sweetness and highlights the olive oil in the best way.

Step 4: Optional toppings.
Grate a little lemon zest over the top if you want something zippy and fresh. Or sprinkle with toasted nuts or a tiny drizzle of honey if you’re feeling playful.

Step 5: Grab a spoon.
That’s it. No prep, no baking — just a simple, delicious combo that surprises people in the best way.

Why we love it:

This isn’t your average dessert — it’s light, balanced, and lets the olive oil really shine. Even Dua Lipa’s a fan, and once you try it, you’ll get why.
