This is sacrilegious! Poutine dessert with ice-cream. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream poutine.

Let me the first to tell you that unicorns do not exist. Especially those with a rainbow mane. However, Unicorn Magic ice-cream does exist at Target stores. I am suspending my disbelief. I know it’s just ice cream but it has a unicorn on the package. It must be real. Right?
