Traditions hold a special place during the holiday season. They’re a part of who we are, where we came from and a way to remember those who are special to us. Many ice cream lovers have made Pierre’s a part of their holiday dessert traditions, something for which we are truly honored and grateful.
Celebrated musician and Pierre’s friend, Jim Brickman, shared one of his beloved family holiday recipes with us. Created by his grandmother, it features a homemade chocolate sauce!
