Warm ice cream (Polish: ciepłe lody) is a Polish dessert made of egg white-based mousse topped by syrup, chocolate, or other topping, and presented in a waffle cup, resembling soft serve ice cream, and as such giving name to the dessert. Relatively cheap, it is also high in calories.[2]

The Polish weekly Wprost writes that warm ice creams were an invention of nutritionists of the Polish People's Republic, one of ersatz foods, along with Polo-Cockta. Its production was renewed in modern Poland as part of PRL nostalgia.[3]

Similar chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, including German Schokoküsse, Danish Flødeboller, and the Israeli Krembo were also called "warm ice cream" in Poland.[citation needed]

In Hungary a similar dessert is called télifagyi ("winter ice cream"). It was invented and reached the height of its popularity during Soviet times, but is still widely available.[4]
