Normally we would never condone anyone intentionally ruining a creation as perfect and wonderful as ice cream, but this time we’re going to make an exception. Because while the last thing any of us wants when eating one of the greatest sweets treats ever concocted by man is to have our mouths set on fire, we’re intrigued by an ice cream so spicy you have to sign a waiver in case it kills you.
We learned about this new limited edition ice cream known as “Respiro Del Diavolo†(translation: “Breath of the Devil”) at Geekologie, and it’s a demonic invention from Aldwych Cafe in Glasgow, Scotland. They promise this handmade dessert/punishment is made “with great caution” and is “sure to warm you up with just one spoonful,” a textbook example of understatement since they won’t even sell it to you unless you are at least 18 years old and you sign a liability waiver first.

That’s because it’s made with Carolina Reapers, the hottest chili pepper in the world, which is how “Respiro Del Diavolo” comes in at a whopping 1,569,300 on the Scoville heat unit scale, making it 500 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. That should be an especially helpful comparison for you strange birds who put freaking hot sauce on your ice cream.

So yes, this an unimaginable bastardization of one of the greatest things in the world, and under normal circumstances we would not be okay with that. But it’s only fitting that if you’re going to eat spicy ice cream it might literally kill you.
