Physician creates ice cream changing color with every lick

For most people, ice cream is all about flavor. But for Spanish physicist Manuel Linares, it's the color that counts, reports the Huffington Post.


Linares has created an ice cream that changes color as it's eaten. The fruity confection, called Xamaleón - as in, chameleon - starts out as a periwinkle blue and gradually morphs into hues of purple and pink.

Xamaleón is similar to an experimental glow-in-the-dark ice cream created by the British company "Lick Me Delicious," from which Linares has said he drew his inspiration. The key to the glowing ice cream is luminescent proteins found in jellyfish.

While the glow-in-the-dark treat is priced at a whopping $225 a scoop, Xamaleón's cost is comparable to that of artisanal ice cream. What a delicious surprise!
