The Brownie Ate The Sundae

This recipe is just so cute I had to post it... back in November, both my husband and I entered a contest by Turkey Hill Ice Cream to create an unusual and delicious sundae.

Being an ice cream fanatic, my husband was super excited and thought long and hard at what his creation would be.

He came up with this: The Brownie Ate The Sundae.

Ingredients:

Turkey Hill Peanut Butter Pie Frozen Yogurt
Turkey Hill Fudge Ripple Frozen Yogurt
Whipped Cream
Chocolate Syrup
Sprinkles
Cherry
Fudge Brownie
White Chocolate Chips
Green M&M

He took a brownie and cut a triangle out of it for the mouth. White chocolate chips were the teeth, a green M&M for an eye.


The rest of the ingredients went on the ice cream next to the brownie monster.

Unfortunately, neither of us won the contest - the 4 winners, IMHO, were so lame. One was just ice cream with every type of candy imaginable thrown on top of it. Really? Where is the creativity? I think it won because it was done by a 5 year old.

We were bummed because the prize was like, free ice cream for a year. Next time, Turkey Hill, next time.

Sunday Sundae!

It's time for another yummy summer-time treat!!

Today's sundae I have named "Caramel Fudge Pretzel."

I used Bunny Tracks ice cream by Blue Bunny, caramel, whipped cream, chocolate syrup and broken pretzel pieces sprinkled on top!

My husband really enjoyed the salty and sweet factors together. Yum!

Sunday Sundae!

Today's sundae is one I dubbed "The Black & White."

My husband wanted another Pop-Tart sundae so this time I used another Ice Cream Shoppe Pap-Tart called "Ice Cream Sandwich."

On top of the Pop-Tart I scooped fudge ripple ice cream and topped that with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

For just an extra splash of color (and taste) I dripped some strawberry topping on the whipped cream and sprinkled black, white and purple sprinkles as a finished garnish.

Yum!

Sunday Sundae!

Today I bring you the Pop-Tart Sundae! We had purchased some of the Kellogg Ice Cream Sundae Shoppe Pop-Tarts and my husband wanted me to use the Strawberry Milkshake one in an ice cream sundae for him.

He wanted the Pop-Tart frozen, so it sat in the freezer for a few days before I made this sundae. You don't need to freeze it for days...a few hours should suffice, but I just never got around to making that sundae for him for a few days after it was put in the freezer.

Anyway, this was a simple sundae...I broke the frozen Pop-Tart in half, then arranged some cookies n cream ice cream between the 2 pieces. Some whipped cream topped that and then I used a touch of strawberry topping as a garnish. Chocolate syrup finished it off.

My husband ended up loving the sundae with the Pop-Tart as a base. His review on the Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tart by itself was so-so, but he liked it with the ice cream. We have another Ice Cream Shoppe Pop-Tart in the house for me to try with him...that one is called Ice Cream Sandwich.

Stay tuned for more sundae ideas!

I Scream, You Scream, My Husband Screams for Ice Cream!

So, I mentioned in my welcome post that I've been making ice cream sundaes recently for my injured husband. Being that his arm is in a sling for 5 weeks, it's hard for him to prepare his nightly dessert, an ice cream sundae. Yes, he really does make one for himself almost every night. (He's super skinny, he can do things like that.)

So for the past week or so, I've been having a lot of fun building these sundaes and surprising him. I'm not actually creating my own ice cream, mostly been using store bought and figuring out fun toppings to use. My husband actually does make his own ice cream - my friend (actually, the fore-mentioned old roomie Laurie) - gave us an ice cream maker for our wedding. And my husband eagerly tries out his own creations. My rule: the entire flavor needs to be consumed before he can make more.

This is my rule for one reason...he keeps buying store bought when it goes on sale! Then, he usually prefers the store bought ice cream to his own creations since he's still learning and they are not store quality yet. Except for his peanut butter ice cream. That he eats as fast as he can. So, I limit him to one creation at a time so our freezer doesn't explode with uneaten homemade ice cream.

The latest creation was Brown Sugar ice cream. He debuted it at Father's Day to our families and it went over well. I used this ice cream tonight in a sundae I have now made twice for him. I call it the Brown Sugar Crumble.

The Brown Sugar Crumble uses a tiny scoop of Blue Bunny Bunny Tracks ice cream, just for a little extra something. Then a few scoops of his Brown Sugar ice cream, topped with caramel, crushed graham crackers, whipped cream and sprinkles.

Unfortunately, tonight marked the end of the Brown Sugar ice cream so unless he makes more, there will be no more Brown Sugar Crumbles in the house. Oh, well! It was fun making it while it lasted.
