Default Word Order

Hi, I am sorry that I have not visited here for ages...

Today I have a question regarding word order.

We say, " I like ice cream very much." (Subject+Verb+Object)

However, is it still Ok to say, " I like very much ice cream" ?

Does it sound OK? Or is it really strange?

I would be grateful, if you could reply to my question.
