Tired of just ice cream in a bowl? We're working on providing some special recipes, including successful desserts from our restaurant partners. But, if you are looking for something else to do with your ice cream, here are a few ideas to get you started.

Ice Cream Cake You can use any cake mix or homemade cake for a base. Two eight-inch rounds will make a spectacularly high ice cream cake. Soften ice cream in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes, until it is spreadable (with a consistency like peanut butter). In the meantime, cut each cake layer in half horizontally, make four thinner layers. When the ice cream is softened, spread about two cups on the first cake layer. Top this with another cake layer and repeat until you place the fourth cake layer on top. You must work quickly to avoid having the ice cream defrost too much. If necessary, put the completed layers in the freezer for a few minutes to harden them. Once the cake is complete, put the whole thing back into the freezer until it is completely refrozen. You can frost the cake with any type of frosting, or simply with sweetened whipped cream.

Frozen Coffee Treat Combine 1/2 cup of cold milk, 1/4 cup of strong coffee or espresso and three or four scoops of our super premium Cappuccino ice cream in a blender until smooth. For a more intense coffee flavor, substitute our Espresso ice cream.

Ice Cream Sandwiches For your own custom version of a classic ice cream sandwich, put 1/4 to 1/2 cup of slightly softened ice cream on the back of one cookie and top it with another. Put the sandwich back into the freezer until hardened before serving.
