An explosion

What is your favorite ice cream flavor or topping?

For some reason I recall recently writing about ice cream and my absolute love affair with cookie dough ice cream. Those little cold, nearly-frozen bits of cookie dough inside of ice cream are beyond delicious.

When I was a kid Mom would sometimes make us a “fancy” ice cream sundae that consisted of either vanilla or butterscotch ripple ice cream topped with chocolate syrup, chocolate chips or butterscotch chips, whichever she had on hand to bake with, and mini marshmallows.

I would mix and fold that all together so the mini marshmallows became one with the ice cream and nearly frozen themselves.

So delicious.

Around 2010 when I first discovered Coldstone Creamery (it wasn’t in Canada yet then, or at least not in Winnipeg), my favourite was birthday cake ice cream, loaded with cookie dough. Unreal explosion inside my mouth. Wow.

I guess this was 20 years ago right about now, my sister Gena & I both pregnant

  6. If I’m buying at a store then my favourite is Ben n Jerrys Phish Food.
    If I’m making a sundae at home I love using vanilla ice cream. Then I melt home made jam and peanut butter together in the microwave and pour it over the top!!!😋

  7. The mixing in of what were formerly “toppings” is a genius invention of this century. Sometimes I crush up gingersnaps and mix them into vanilla ice cream, along with shredded coconut. I call it Thai ice cream 🤣
