How To Spice Up Your Ice-Cream

Joburg Admin / February 11, 2020

Life Is Too Short For Plain Ice-Cream

Plain old ice-cream just isn't worth the extra time at the gym. That's why we have taken the time to compile this delicious list. Take your ice-cream from zero to hero by adding different toppings and treats. Just make sure your pantry is stocked up with all the best goodies to complement your midnight treat.

Add Some Fruit For That Extra Freshness

Adding some fruit to your frozen treat just gives it that extra kick of fresh goodness. You can mix things up by adding different fruit, from bananas and pineapples to berries and grapes. Not only is this simply delicious, it's also a much healthier treat, but who's counting calories anyway?

Are You Nuts About Ice Cream?

Add some crunch to your bite by throwing in some nuts. Stock up on your favourite nuts, whether plain or mixed, and get ready for a yummy indulgence. For this, you'll need to crush the nuts and sprinkle over your favourite ice-cream.

Sauce Things Up 

Happiness is best served with chocolate sauce, and that's a fact. Get your fill of some good old chocolate sauce and bring some happiness to your life. And the best part is that this fix goes with any kind of ice-cream. But, there are plenty of other sauces you can play with if you're not on the chocolate bandwagon.

Without Some Cookies, Your Ice Cream Will Crumble

Who doesn't appreciate a cookie or two every now and again? Combine your favourite baked treat with your favourite icy snack and you're in for a real treat. Simply crush a generous amount of your favourite cookie and mix into your ice-cream. You can use any type of cookie for this, but our favourite has to be Oreos.

We Love Rum And Raisins

We love Rum and Raisin ice-cream. It's just better than all the other flavours! To make this flavour combo even better, soak some raisins in rum overnight and then add to your ice-cream. This is the perfect treat to indulge in after a long and tough day.

Ice Cream Milkshake With A Twist

Why not make your own milkshake? All you need to do is mix a generous amount of softened ice-cream with some chocolate sauce, milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. To add an extra kick, top off your milkshake with your favourite liqueur and it's time to party. Do you have any tips for spicing up your ice-cream?
