I don’t know about you, but I LOVE ice cream! It doesn’t matter – vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, you name it! The biggest challenge for me is to decide which toppings I should choose; after all, I really shouldn’t eat ice cream every day, right? Well, at least, I try not to, but in Summer it’s so tempting! When I do decide to sit down to a delicious bowl of ice cream, I want it to be the tastiest concoction I can possible create! I’ve decided to list some of the most well known toppings, as well as some you’ve probably never thought about, and share my list with you. Hopefully it will help you create your next favorite ice cream dish.
- Chocolate Syrup. Sure, this one is very popular, and for good reason. It’s delicious!
- Hot Fudge. What is ice cream without Hot Fudge?
- Strawberry Syrup. You can’t go wrong with this sweet addition.
- Caramel. Pour it on! The more, the better.
- Whipped Cream. This is definitely a classic for a reason.
- Peanut butter. Yes, peanut butter is excellent on ice cream! Just think – peanut butter is salty and creamy. Winning combination, right?
- Nutella. Have you ever tried Nutella? Oh my goodness! Well, it’s even better added to ice cream, if that’s possible.
- Jam. Your choice of flavor. You have so many to choose from, you can’t go wrong!
- Honey. I would recommend not overdoing it with honey. A little goes a long way.
- Toasted Marshmallows. Oh, yes! You can just taste it’s gooeyness.
- The Cone. Seriously. Just because your ice cream is in a dish doesn’t mean you need to ship the cone. Crunch one up and add it.
- Coconut flakes. I’ve never actually tried this one, but it’s on my “to add” list.
- Fruit. You can’t go wrong here, especially if you’re looking for a healthier choice. Peaches are especially good. Not so interested in the health benefits? You could add cherries. Lots and lots of cherries. Why use only one?
- Chocolate Covered Raisins. I love these! Or you can add the regular raisins.
- Granola. Another quality choice if you want to add something a bit more healthy.
- Blueberry Muffin. This is surprisingly good, so I’ve heard. I haven’t tried it – yet.
- Sprinkles. What is ice cream without sprinkles? The colors make it appear even more tastier.
- Cereal. Trix, Fruit Loops, Fruity Pebbles, Lucky Charms. Another colorful choice, and very tasty as well!
- Birthday Cake. These two were meant to be together.
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Ok, yes, I love peanut butter. But cut this candy up into small bite size peaces, and you’ve got one amazing treat!
- Brownie: Crumbled. One work: Perfection!
- Cookie Dough. This makes any ice cream taste exceptional.
- Chocolate Chips. Chocolate added to ice cream is always a winning combination in my book!
- Gummy Bears. Why not?
- Pop Tarts. Pick a flavor. Strawberry is especially delicious, although chocolate is a close second.
- Graham Crackers. This combination is unbeatable!
- Toasted nuts. Any nuts.
- Small Oreos. You’d be surprised. This is definitely a winning combination!
- Vanilla Wafers. I haven’t tried this one, but I’ve heard they go great with ice cream.
- Donuts. Crumble them up and add them. Yes, please!
Hopefully this list of toppings will give you lots of delicious ideas when you create your next bowl of ice cream!
