Ryan Seacrest Skips the Typical Sprinkles on His Ice Cream

On July 20, Seacrest took to Instagram to celebrate National Ice Cream Day by serving up some delicious scoops. He took the classic dessert to a new level, however, when he added a rather interesting topping.

Not hot fudge, whipped cream or sprinkles for the “Idol” host — he prefers a sprinkle of salt!

“Salt over sprinkles. Always. Happy #NationalIceCreamDay, aka the one holiday I never forget,” he noted in the caption. “No calendar reminder needed.”

Seacrest added, “No portion control either.”

He shared a series of photos, which included him sprinkling salt over his ice cream and scooping it into a bowl.

One fan questioned the addition, writing, “Salt? On ice cream?”

He responded, “Try it!”

The fan shared, “I will! I’m intrigued.”

Other fans admitted, “I have never tried salt on ice cream before!” and “Never ever heard of salt on ice cream before … may have to give it a try!”

Another fan shared a similar addition, commenting, “Always put a few potato chips on mine. Same theory and so good! You make your own ice cream! Very cool!”

Others shared suggestions like, “Try ice cream and pickled cucumber” and “Try olive oil and pistachios on top.”

“Sweet and salty best combo,” one of his followers noted. Another fan shared, “Yummy and yes, some salt is necessary for certain flavors … my favorite is salted caramel with a dash of Hawaiian pink salt on top. So good. Enjoy Ryan.❤️”
