Fresh fruit

Fruit is not only filling, but is amazing with ice cream. Bananas, blueberries and strawberries are just a few. Don’t underestimate the tropical taste of kiwi, mango and pineapple. Try a small scoop of Classic Vanilla Ice Cream topped with chunks of fresh-cut apples. Sprinkle with plain ground cinnamon. Add some walnuts for extra crunch!

Warm berry sauce

Sundae syrups and sauces don’t all come from chocolate and caramel. Fresh berries are easily available and can be turned into a sauce in a matter of minutes. Make fresh blueberry sauce in the microwave! Just place a handful of blueberries in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring between, until the berries burst. You can do the same for blackberries and raspberries too! Enjoy with Cherry Vanilla and Strawberry, or Vanilla Frozen Yogurt.

Go nuts

Nuts and ice cream inspired many epic ice cream flavors over the decades. Just a handful can add a little extra crunch and flavor to a dish of ice cream. Peanuts and pecans are probably the most familiar, but don’t underestimate some of these other favorites like almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, pistachios and walnuts. Try with Banana Cream Pie Ice Cream or Sea Salt Caramel Toffee Crunch Frozen Yogurt.

Take it to the next level

Cutting back fat and sugar doesn’t mean cutting back flavor – or fun. Pierre’s Slender® No Sugar Added Reduced Fat Ice Cream was made to offer premium ice cream taste with less fat and sugar than regular ice cream. It’s a delicious alternative for those looking for a great-tasting better-for-you treat!

Best yet, Pierre’s Slender® No Sugar Added Reduced Fat Ice Cream comes in five popular ice cream flavors:

Butter Pecan
Mint Chocolate Chip
Moose Tracks®
Neapolitan
Vanilla

Fresh-cut apples, dusted with cinnamon, are great with classic flavors like Cinnamon or Butter Pecan. Apple desserts, like pie and apple cobbler, taste amazing topped with ice cream – especially warm out of the oven.

Here’s a great baked apple and ice cream dish that is amazing:

Baked apple sundaes

Slice whole apples in half and remove the stem, core and seeds. Prepare them according to your favorite microwave-baked apple recipe. Oven-baked apples are great for those who prefer a slow-cooked method.

Remove the apples and top with scoops of French Vanilla, Butter Pecan or Sea Salt Caramel Toffee Crunch Ice Cream. Drizzle with a gooey caramel topping, nuts or granola.

Bite-size or fun-size candy is easiest, especially for making milkshakes. Try mixing Butterfinger Bars with Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream or Snickers candy with Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

For basic toppings, M&M’s and Reese’s Pieces are awesome with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Sprinkle Nerds candy over Classic Vanilla or Strawberry.

Love sundaes? Try this beastly candy-ice cream mashup:

Monster Candy Sundae

Place a scoop of Pierre’s French Vanilla Ice Cream into a sundae dish. Cut a mixed assortment of candy bars into small pieces, Almond Joy, Snickers, Butterfingers, KitKats, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, etc. Or – save the chopping and opt for candy bites. Add whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate and caramel syrups. Top with a cherry!

Pair with another delicious fan favorite, Nuts About Buckeyes – Vanilla Ice Cream swirled with peanut butter and chocolaty peanut butter buckeye candies.

Lest we forget, fall is full-on pumpkin season! While the spice is nice, it’s not as good as the real thing. Pierre’s Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream is made with pureed pumpkin. Make fall sundaes, or your very own Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie!
