A SCOTS cafe boss scooped Ben & Jerry’s to create a cannabis oil ice cream.

Kyle Gentleman, 28, mixes his homemade vanilla pud with three drops of legal CBD liquid.

He serves up his creation for £2.50 a time — beating the US giant which revealed similar plans this month.

The dad, of Falkirk, said: “Word spread quickly and it ran out fast. It has an earthy taste, but I like it.

“I know Ben and Jerry’s are trying to do this but I managed to beat them as my shop is much smaller.”

Kyle said he came up with the idea for the dessert — thought to be the UK’s first — at his ICE cafes in Falkirk and Larbert after hearing claims that the oil eases depression, insomnia and epilepsy.

He joined forces for the project with Elaine Grant, 48, who runsthe local Natures Medics health shop and reckons CBD helps her mum’s arthritis.

The cannabis-derived product is legal as it does not have enough of the chemical THC to make users high.
