In celebration of National Ice Cream Month, we’ve come up with three creative ways to enjoy one of America’s favorite desserts. Read below for a few tasty twists and recipes including edible ice cream bowls, “adult-friendly” ice cream and ice cream sandwiches!
Who wants a regular, boring ol’ ice cream cone? Instead, try our Raspberry Churro Ice Cream Bowls. We guarantee your family and friends will enjoy every last bite, down to the bowl itself. These colorful, crunchy delights are made with Mexican Pure Vanilla Extract which adds a warm spiced note to mellow out the sweetness of the raspberry-sugar coating. Don’t be intimidated by this recipe – we provide a baking hack to perfectly shape the bowls every time.
Boozy ice cream is showing up everywhere from local ice cream parlors to grocery stores. Give the trend a try this summer by adding a few tablespoons of bourbon to our Peach & Bourbon Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Each ingredient enhances the next to deliver a rich, smoky ice cream that’s packed with sweet peach nectar. Use our Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste for the visual flair of real vanilla bean specks along with a delectable flavor. We’re drooling already.
Note: Simply leave out the bourbon if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
The ice cream sandwich is a classic dessert that everyone loves. The best part about this treat is you don’t need a spoon to enjoy it! Just make a batch of your favorite cookies and let them cool. Then, take one cookie, flip it upside down and add a scoop of homemade ice cream. Take another cookie and place it on top. Voilà! For an easy-to-follow recipe, we recommend trying these Banana Nice Cream Sandwiches. This hand-held ice cream sandwich features dairy-free ice cream and is ready to eat right away or store in your freezer for later.
Now that you have a few out-of-the-box ways to enjoy your ice cream treat this National Ice Cream month, we want to know which twist you’ll try! Be sure to snap a photo and share with us using #NielsenMasseyInspires.
