Ice Cream Cookies strain guide
2 min read · Updated · WeedDB editors
Ice Cream Cookies is an indica-leaning cross of Wedding Cake and Gelato 33, credited to Seed Junky Genetics. People know it for a vanilla, butter and mint smell, and for a feel that starts uplifted before turning relaxed and sleepy.
Where does Ice Cream Cookies come from?
Two strain databases both give the same parents: Wedding Cake and Gelato 33, a selection from the Gelato family. One strain database credits Seed Junky Genetics, the California breeder also tied to Wedding Cake. Another database doesn't name a breeder.
That is the same pairing and breeder usually given for Ice Cream Cake, and the history beyond that isn't well documented.
What does Ice Cream Cookies smell and taste like?
Reports point to vanilla, cream and butter, with mint and a little lemon. A few reviewers mention nutty or cheesy notes, and some taste hazelnut or cake.
One strain database lists caryophyllene first, then humulene and limonene. Caryophyllene adds a peppery warmth, humulene an earthy, woody edge and limonene a touch of citrus. Another database doesn't publish terpenes for it.
Ice Cream Cookies effects: what people report
People most often describe it as relaxed, happy and hungry. One strain database says the feel starts cerebral and uplifting before shifting toward sedation, and reviewers also mention a euphoric lift and sleepiness later on.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people mention feeling anxious.
How strong is Ice Cream Cookies?
Sources disagree on strength. One strain database lists about 26% THC, another database averages 19% to 20% with one reviewer reporting up to 27%, and a grow-diary listing shows about 22%. CBD is very low.
Start with a small amount if you're new to it and give it time before having more. Your batch's label numbers matter more than the strain name.
Buying Ice Cream Cookies in Canada
Because the name sits so close to Ice Cream Cake and Cookies and Cream, read the label for the genetics before you buy. Different growers sell their own cuts under similar names.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its creamy vanilla smell.
Ice Cream Cookies vs Ice Cream Cake
Ice Cream Cake is given the same parents and the same breeder by the sources we found, so the written profiles are very close: creamy vanilla, relaxed, often sleepy. We did not find a source that spells out a real difference in genetics or effects, and the site lists them separately because they are sold under different names. If you see both on a menu, compare the labelled terpenes and THC rather than trusting the name.
