If you’re an ice cream FANATIC, then you are probably pretty well-versed in the world of ice cream flavors. There are so many delicious ones out there, from classics like French vanilla, chocolate fudge, and Neopolitan, to more interesting flavors like caramel truffle and birthday cake. Ice cream companies like Ben and Jerry’s even put all kinds of extra ingredients in its ice cream, like pieces of fudge, cake, or caramel. There is nothing better on a hot summer day than a cold scoop of tasty ice cream. Time to pull out the ice cream cups! and those special ice cream spoons!
Although, ice cream is not designed to only be enjoyed in the summer! It makes a great treat to enjoy during the cooler months as well and can be paired with a hot piece of apple pie or a molten brownie. Sure, it might be a bit more chilly outside, but you should still enjoy your favorite treat! Especially for areas of the U.S. that stay pretty warm during the winter months, like Florida and southern California.
The holidays are the time of year when some of the BEST ice cream flavors come around. Which of these flavors would you want to try?
1. Eggnog
This delicious treat tastes just like the eggnog you grew up drinking when you were younger at Christmas parties. There won’t be a hint of liquor in this one (sorry!), but you will still get to enjoy that sweet and creamy eggnog flavor, just in the form of ice cream. For a little kick, top with cinnamon!
2. Sweet potato pie
Are you a fan of this tasty holiday dessert star? We all know there is nothing like a slice of homemade sweet potato pie after Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Sure, apple pies are pretty great too, but there is definitely nothing like a delicious sweet potato pie. Try it in the ice cream version, full of smooth, creamy sweetness.
3. Hot chocolate
There is nothing greater than a steaming cup of hot chocolate during the holidays. This ice cream flavor takes the magic of hot chocolate and turns it into a slow-churned, delicious chocolately treat. Drizzle some hot chocolate on top and add tiny marshmallows, and you have yourself a great treat!
