The weather’s been so hot lately that I’ve been eating a tub of ice cream every three days. This is probably why I’ve been trying to come up with new ways of consuming it. At one point, I added some chocolate wafer rolls, and realized you don’t even need a spoon because you can use the rolls to scoop up the ice cream.
It’s best to do this with a premium brand like Häagen-Dazs, because they’re really dense (less air is mixed in), so they stay firm for longer. That means you don’t have to eat the ice cream quickly before it melts…but if you lived alone and had no one to mind the slurping, a wafer roll doubles as a straw too.
This one is Caramel Cone Explosion, my favourite Häagen-Dazs flavour: caramel swirls and sugar cone covered in Belgian milk chocolate with roasted almost pieces, in caramel ice cream.
I also recently tried If I Had A Million Flavors by Ben & Jerry’s, which is described on the tub, “A Collision of Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Creams mixed with Chocolate-covered toffee, White Chocolate Chunks, Peanut Butter Cups & Chocolate-Covered almonds”. Which is pure hedonism, really.
Mmmm… I also enjoy having ice cream in a glass. It’s just the right amount.
And I like being able to see where the chunks of chocolate are, so I can plan out my eating path. :D
Cool glass!
A set of those glasses was a home warming gift from an old university friend actually. They’re made of lead crystal and have a fantastic weight to them. The only disadvantage is that they’re not dishwasher safe.
HALF BAKED!!!!!
Hahahh, that one, along with Cherry Garcia, are old favourites of mine. I haven’t seen a tub of Half Baked in my grocery store recently though.
Dude: Phish Food. Ben & Jerry’s even makes it in “Light”.
Was watching a show on Argentina, and they made a sundae of Vanilla bean gelato, dulce de leche carmelly goo, a pile of tiny crunchy white meringues, and some serious whipped cream. It was totally porn watching them make it.
I’ve heard of Phish food, but I’ve yet to see it anywhere in Canada. And I love anything vanilla bean. Yep, I just made that into an adjective.
Ice Cream (Soda) Float: three scoops of ice cream and a half can of Canada Dry. That’ll take me back to my childhood at my grand parent’s restaurant every time.

Canada Dry? I’ve never tried a float with ginger ale (only with Root Beer or Coke), but now I have to. It sounds so strange without a cola!
Now this is just mean. I am soooooooooooooo hungry.
Ohhhhhhh!!! I had forgotten about the Canada Dry float !! that was awesome. Great, now I have to go buy some. : /
floats haven’t been the same since I was 15 and tried to make one out of orange juice and milk. don’t try it at home. it curdles.
but these are definitely ice cream days…a vertical banana split for me… http://www.pagehalffull.com/eatenup/2010/06/03/breakfast‑4/
Hahahah, in university I tried Bailey’s and orange juice as part of a game. Same outcome. That vertical banana split looks amazing, if not precarious to eat.
have you eaten it for breakfast yet? ^^
Does it count if I have it as dessert after breakfast?
