We’re all for innovative desserts. But an ice cream sandwich that looks like a burger? We’re not sure about that one.
The Ice Cream Brrrger is currently being tested at a number of Carl’s Jr. locations in Orange County, CA. Once the trial period is over, the fast food company will analyze sales data and guest feedback before deciding whether or not to release the item nationwide.
The dessert costs $1.99 and features disturbingly beefy-looking chocolate ice cream sandwiched between two sugar cookie buns. The Brrger also includes drizzles of multi-colored icing placed to resemble burger toppings—ketchup, cheese, lettuce, etc. (That’s the part we find least appetizing.)
Foodbeast commented that the timing of this menu addition is particularly interesting considering that Carl’s Jr. continues to promote their OREO Ice Cream Sandwich. They questioned whether or not there is room on the menu for two such desserts.
We certainly give Carl’s Jr. credit for creativity. But—even though we love both burgers and ice cream sandwiches—there is just something about the combination that makes us queasy.

(just no more small pics of it :P )
Edit:
Umm, is there a vanilla variant too?
I'm surprised the people that wrote the article don't already refuse chocolate ice cream out of hand due to it's resemblance to frozen poo...
