Watch: “It’s delicious!” Woman made butter chicken ice cream, but the internet says it’s “cursed”

A video going viral on social media is making viewers do a double-take. The reason? Butter chicken, one of India’s most-loved dishes, has been turned into ice cream. Yes, you read that right. The combination has left people curious, divided, and debating whether it’s a bold culinary experiment or simply “cursed.”

The recipe in focus

The video was posted by Juliette Moreno, a content creator known for giving everyday dishes a quirky twist. In her demonstration, she starts by putting butter chicken in a bowl, then adds heavy cream, condensed milk, and sugar. The mixture is blended until completely smooth.

Moreno explains the process in the video: “Just mix butter chicken, heavy cream, condensed milk, and sugar. Blend it all together so the chicken chunks become completely smooth.” After blending, the mixture is frozen overnight and later churned in an ice cream maker, emerging as a dessert that could make your taste buds raise an eyebrow – or run for cover.

The taste test

The end product? A creamy, orange-coloured ice cream that looks like a curious cousin of your regular mango scoop. Moreno serves herself a bowl and reacts with delight: “I definitely think this is my new favourite ice cream.” Whether that’s brave optimism or culinary bravado, viewers are left wondering if they’d dare take a spoonful.

Social media reactions

Online reactions were… spicy. Some called it “cursed,” while others questioned whether a savoury curry should ever meet a frozen dessert. A few worried it could ruin both dishes, while some admitted they were curious – and maybe a little hungry for disaster. Memes, jokes, and debates quickly flooded social media, with everyone from foodies to casual scrollers weighing in.

Whether this butter chicken ice cream is a genius creation or a dare gone wrong might depend on who’s brave enough to try it. But one thing is certain: Juliette Moreno’s experiment has made its mark, leaving social media both laughing and debating at the same time.
