I want to thank the readers that took the time to email & IM me about Cold Sweat Ice Cream in the last week or so and let all of you know I wasn’t ignoring you or the idea behind this. I was in fact trying to track the owner down and talk with him, but alas that doesn’t seem to be possible anytime soon, so here’s the lowdown from the rest of the press:
I scream, you scream, anyone in their right mind would scream when faced with this ice cream.
North Carolina’s Scott Wilson, owner of Sunni Sky’s ice cream shop, is like the Dr. Frankenstein of frosty frozen treats. Seriously.And this time, he really has created a monster.
America, meet Cold Sweat – the ice cream from Hell.
Needless to say, Cold Sweat isn’t your granny’s ice cream – it’s more like vice cream – ice cream with attitude.
And by attitude, of course, we mean three kinds of peppers and two kinds of hot sauce that deliver a spice so well spicy that your fingers will feel a little hot just touching the stuff.
Wilson’s waiver declares anyone under the age of 18 ineligible to eat his not-so-tasty treat without parental consent and completely forbids pregnant women and people with health problems from partaking, The News & Observer reports.
But that didn’t stop faithful frozen fire-eater Rod McCallum. It tasted like fire with a side of fire
“I thought it was a cool idea, but I didn’t think he’d make it that hot. It tasted like fire with a side of fire,” McCallum said.
But Wilson insists he didn’t set out to bring on the pain with his new ice cream. Rather, he wanted to make something a little spicy for his customers who like it hot.
Justin Smith, a Cold Sweat veteran vying for the in-store record of 14 ounces eaten, says the spicy special’s not so bad once you get past the searing pain.
“It’s got a good flavor,” Smith insisted. “As someone who really likes hot stuff and doesn’t mind being scorched, I can taste the difference, and it really does taste good.”

Habanero Peach Ice Cream is one of the favorite treats at the Open Fields- tastes great & has no heat… until you stop eating it 🙂
Thank sounds good. Someone should make a habanero gelto. That would be even better!!!!
Fox news!? You cant trust them. Kidding.
Sounds good.
This place is less than 2hrs from my location. I’ll do an official review if I can find a sponsor for the trip… 🙂

TracyC, I could meet ya there one weekend, it’s about 3-4 hrs from me. Can’t sponsor ya though, gonna take a fortune in gas to get there and back for me. I’m looking at about a $75 bowl of ice cream! At that kinda money, a sponsorship ain’t bad thinking! 💡
I saw the tail-end of the segment on Fox News today. The host had a lab rat (producer) try some out. She said it was really good, but you could clearly see that her eyes were watering 🙂
I think this could go big out on the open market. I have been hearing about this Company for a while now in magazines and on the Food Network. I am anxiously awaiting the oppourtunity to eat a great big bowl, I don’t even care what flavor. Just as much as I am intrigued with sweet and hot, I think cold and hot would fun and exciting to taste.
Hey Guys, I have just now run across your blog and this this is GREAT! My close friend owns Sunni Sky’s Homemade Ice Cream and can work with you guys about getting your hands on this insane stuff. Nick, shoot me an email and I would be more than happy to get you a cell phone number to Scott so you can speak with him directly. He is an incredibly nice guy and even a better friend. I think this is wonderful that you guys would be willing to drive 2-4 hours to try this. He has a little “Mom and Pop” shop where service is of utmost importance and everyone feels at home. I would love to meet you guys up there when you try this to see your expressions on your face. Thanks.

I went to Sunni Sky’s this weekend and tried Cold Sweat. First sampled an itty bitty rice sized drip. Very hot. Then took the full sample spoonfull. Oh My GOD!!! The burn was unbelievable. Felt like I was going to throw up it was so hot. I was still feeling it 30 minutes later. Watching the other people in my group try it after myself was even more fun. If you really like hot and want a good laugh…Make the trip and bring friends with you. 🙂
