The supermodel and businesswoman left followers of her Aussie ice cream shop SMiZE and Dream confused with her new product launch, hot ice cream.

Turns out Banks revealed it took “over a year to get right” and finally launched the flavour at her Sydney store.
The first ‘Hot Ice cream’ flavour is called the ‘Hot Mama’, which she explained in a post on her TikTok.

The post on TikTok has received almost 2000 comments and pretty much everyone is confused about the concept of ‘hot’ ice cream.
“So…melted ice cream in a cup?” replied one person.
Another commented, “so it’s hot milk”.
“I love how she kept emphasizing ‘hot ice cream’ but never actually explained it,” one person replied.
Someone wrote, “One thing about Tyra is she’s gonna confuse the hell out of you.”
Others pointed out this already exists with concepts like milkshakes.
The treat wasn’t available for long at the Sydney ice cream store, but fans believe it’ll be making a return due to her emphasis on it being the ‘first’ flavour in the videos.

Her longtime love of ice cream, and the special bond it has for her and her mum is what inspired her to open up her first bricks and mortar store for SMiZE and Dream.
“Ice cream is a big part of my life. We’re an ice cream family,” Banks told Nine.com.au earlier this year.
“My mum and I used to bond over ice cream in Los Angeles, driving to Hollywood Boulevard and going to the Haagen-Dazs shop and sitting in the car and having ice cream together while she was working three jobs and you know just really trying to get more prosperity for our family.”
