Warm ice cream ({{langx|pl|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.{{cite web|title=Ciepłe lody|url=http://cupcakefactory.pl/cieple-lody/|website=Cupcake Factory|accessdate=24 August 2017|language=pl-PL|date=19 February 2014}}
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.{{cite web|title=Kapitan Żbik na tropie oranżady|url=https://www.wprost.pl/41936/-|website=WPROST.pl|accessdate=24 August 2017|language=pl-PL|date=14 March 2003}}
Similar chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, including German Schokoküsse, Danish Flødeboller, and the Israeli Krembo were also called "warm ice cream" in Poland.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}
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.[https://www.origo.hu/tafelspicc/20131211-teli-fagyi-hazilag.html Télifagyi]
