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!

Some of the earliest-recorded ice cream recipes were for strawberry. Pierre’s Strawberry Ice Cream dates back to 1932. It’s one of our three original flavors, along with French Vanilla and Chocolate.

Strawberry is a perfect flavor to serve on top of fresh-baked waffles. Enjoy it nestled in a cone or pair with other flavors, like Peaches & Cream or Chocolate Chip. Make a statement with a generous scoop of Strawberry Ice Cream served atop strawberry shortcake.

Fresh strawberries have topped generations of sundaes and been blended in many milkshakes. They are also great in dessert parfaits. Try layers of fresh-cut strawberries, Vanilla Frozen Yogurt and fresh granola topped with whipped cream.

Witches’ Brew Ice Cream Float

Place a scoop of Pierre’s Classic Vanilla Ice Cream into a glass and pour lemon-lime soda over it. Add 3-4 drops of green food coloring and top with sprinkles or gummy worms.

Mummy Ice Cream Sandwich Bars

Melt some white chocolate in a bowl (or substitute white cake decorating icing) and grab a box of Pierre’s Ice Cream Sandwiches (Vanilla or Chocolate — or both). Drizzle “bandages” over each sandwich until completely covered. Add candy eyes or chocolate buttons to complete the mummy look. Freeze until the chocolate sets and enjoy these ghoulishly good treats!

Monster-Eye Halloween Sundae

Start with a carton of Pierre’s Emerald Cookies and Fudge Ice Cream. From there, you’ll also need:

• Your favorite chocolate chip cookies, crushed.
• Candy eyes, or try white marshmallows, cut up into thin disks. Use a black bakery decorating pen to draw your own eyes.

Prepare the “dirt” base: Spread a handful of crushed chocolate chip cookies evenly at the bottom of a dessert bowl. Create the spooky eyes: Take your white marshmallows and carefully paint or draw a small black pupil in the center of each piece using black food coloring and a clean paintbrush, or a black bakery decorating pen. Scoop a generous serving of Pierre’s Emerald Cookies and Fudge Ice Cream onto the cookie graveyard base. Place the marshmallow eyes on top of the ice cream to create a spooky, monster-eyed treat—and enjoy!
