While some physicists may work on string theory or quantum mechanics, 37-year-old Manuel Linares has decided to turn his attention to something else entirely – ice cream.
The Spanish physicist and now professional cook announced that he invented a ‘magical’ ice cream that changes color as you lick it.
Mr. Linares created the ice cream, dubbed ‘Xamaleón’, during a cooking course he attended in Barcelona, and it tastes like a mix of fruits.
Everyone laughed at his idea, but as a physicist he knew that various possibilities might work, the 37-year-old told Cocinatis. Before servers serve it, the treat is a light blue color, but this quickly changes when they add a spray of ‘love elixir,’ as Mr. Linares calls it.
The spray transforms the ice cream into a dark pink shade in around 10 to 15 seconds. When the customer licks the ice cream, it again changes into other pink shades as it melts. According to Mr. Linares, the secret formula contains entirely natural ingredients.
The Spaniard said he gained his inspiration from the British ice cream genius Charlie Francis, who created a fluorescent ice. The chef currently offers his ice cream at his shop in the town of Calella de Mar, in the east Spanish province of Barcelona.
He is also working on another two ice creams. One will react to ultraviolet lights in clubs, while another will turn from white to pink as customers eat it. Mr. Linares now hopes to find buyers to sell the ice cream abroad.
