Creamice?

So the other day I was on base and decided to stop by the coffee shop there.  They have a little place that sells Starbucks.  I was really missing my Davinci Mocha’s, which I used to get once or twice a week when I lived in Enid.  I knew I wanted something mostly chocolate-y, with only a little coffee taste.

So the coffee shop had a whole section of “creamice”.  I’d never heard of a creamice and I wasn’t even sure how to pronounce it.  I thought maybe it was an Italian thing.  It looks like an Italian-ish word.  So I asked the girl behind the desk, “What are those cream-E-chey (which is how you’d pronounce it in Italian) things?”.  She gave me a weird look and said “You mean cream-ice?”  (As in like ice cream but backwards…)

Yeah, I felt like an idiot, but seriously, creamice?  Is that even a word?
