Welcome to our Festive Foodies Ice Cream Social! Thanks Jolene from Jolene’s Recipe Journal for hosting our event!
What’s an ice cream social?
It’s a party while focused on enjoying ice cream! Fun, easy and perfect for any age.
You can set out your favorite flavors of ice cream. The more toppings the better. I like to see chocolate chips, sprinkles, marshmallows, and chopped walnuts, almonds and peanuts.
Plenty of fruit too! Sliced bananas, strawberries, kiwi, blueberries are all good.
Don’t forget the syrups. Caramel, chocolate and strawberry of course.
Seltzer, milk or soda shakes it up a bit!
But the star is always the ice cream. Homemade ice cream is always my first choice.
I like knowing what’s in my food. That goes for ice cream too. Making ice cream is easy.
Even without an ice cream maker. No churn takes just a few ingredients, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream and a flavor element.
Blueberry Ginger Ice Cream adds frozen blueberries with fresh and powdered ginger to ice cold sweetened condensed milk and whipped heavy cream. What you get is a smooth, creamy treat to chase summer heat.
Take it to the next level with a cold ginger beer soda. I’m loving all that ginger zing!
Try a sip. I know you’ll agree!
Whether you call it an ice cream float or an ice cream soda, I got you covered.
