Thanksgiving Flavors
For most people, Thanksgiving meals are full of the traditional dishes: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. If you want to switch things up a little bit, we have a few recommendations to take your dinner to the next level. If your dinner is mostly full of savory dishes, any flavor of ice cream will put a nice capper on the meal.
Vanilla goes well on top of warm pumpkin or apple pie, or try a tropical fruit flavor for a little hint of the warmer summer months at the end of the night. Rich chocolate flavors pair nicely with warm cider or coffee, and adding some preserves or jam to vanilla (or any flavor, really) is a great way to brighten up any dish of ice cream!
Christmas Flavors
While we don’t have snowfall to deal with here in Santa Cruz, the end of December is still colder than a lot of us like and cold treats aren’t the first thing that we tend to reach for when it’s chilly out. However, there are some flavors of ice cream that are a great way to celebrate the holiday.
If you have pie, vanilla ice cream is a great addition. If you just want to have a bowl of ice cream, adding some warm chocolate sauce to it is a great way to warm you up! For an extra bit of delicious, bracing cool, try some mint chocolate chip ice cream.
