Ice Cream Social

With basic ingredients (eggs, sugar and milk) and the help of an ice cream freezer, you can turn out an infinite number of one-of-a-kind creations. The real fun comes when you add in your flavor—looking at you, Lucky Charms cereal, and you too, bottle of dark beer!

Everyone knows the best part of building a sundae is piling on toppings like hot fudge, caramel and sprinkles. But there’s a whole world of toppings to explore! We love taking inspiration from our test-kitchen pantry with things like crushed Nature Valley Granola Bars, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and coarse sea salt.

Here they are, the main event! It’s what everyone has been waiting for. And while there is no wrong way to make a sundae, we do have some proven winners worth replicating at home. Rum-caramel tropical sundae, anyone?

If you’re looking to step up your ice cream social game, this is how to do it. There are as many sandwich options as there are topping choices. Our favorites? Quick cookies baked from a Betty Crocker pouch, fudgy brownies and Nature Valley Granola Thins (they’ve got chocolate on the inside!).
