My all-time favorite ice cream creation is not very fancy. I can eat a bowl of coffee ice cream with Heath Bar chips in it any day!
What about you? Perhaps you are a milk shake kind of person? Would you rather indulge in a banana split or a sundae? Or, maybe you’re like me and enjoy something simple. I would love to hear how you scoop your ice cream!

There is this awesome homemade ice cream store near me and I make my own creations there. I am a “pie” kinda girl when it comes to ice cream. I will get a scoop of pumpkin pie ice cream and a scoop of Cinnamon ice cream, add some whipped cream and sprinked Cinnamon and now I have a yummy pumpkin pie.
I also will get a scoop of apple strudle ice cream and a scoop of Cinnamon ice cream, add whipped cream and now I have apple pie.

We recently bought these Kiebler Ice Cream bowls, and they are the best! It’s pretty much just a cone, but in the shape of a bowl and they are a great portion controling size too which I love!
My DD loves it when I make her a “special drink” to her this means that mommy mixes vanilla ice-cream with some kind of juice to make her a simple smoothy. The best combination so far has been with using pink lemonaide…. it was amazing!
I would love to try some S’mores flavored ice cream. The graham cracker, marshmallow and bits of chocolate. Oh, I can taste it now! I may have to whip a batch of that up and see how well it works!
Sometimes I use a mini scoop to make it fun for my son. I have 3 different scoops, and will use a combo of them. He always gets a kick out of it.
I like to clean out the pantry and find stuff for my ice cream! Like graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chips, granola, coconut flakes, sprinkles, almonds/pecans, crushed up candy bars, etc.
If I have it on hand I like warm caramel syrup on my vanilla ice cream and hubby like hot fudge on his. We go together like a twix, LOL!
I also taught my hubby the art of having cookies with his ice cream. Oreos are the best, but also vanilla/strawberry wafers. Now I am craving these!
Usually I pick one or two of these toppings and enjoy, but if your really adventurous you could do all of them! MMMM!

my favorite is vanilla ice cream with warm caramel and crunchy peanut topping!
thanks!

I love bananas and stawberries!
I lost my PC ice cream scooper, so I would love to win this!

I am a simple gal Chocolate and carmel with pecans my ode’ to a Turtle!
This time of year with all the fresh, in season, fruit, we love fruit on ice cream. Last weekend my parents were here & we came up with this combo that was YUMMY!! Plain vanilla ice cream topped with tons of fresh blueberries, raspberries, and sliced peaches, YUM!!!
Chocolate chips and raspberries. You get forbidden chocolate but you balance that with antioxidant rich berries!
Mine is really simple…but it’s my favorite! Just put a couple of scoops of Breyers Natural vanilla in a glass, pour some whole milk over it, and slice up some frozen strawberries and throw them in! YUM, YUM!

As a kid we had cornflakes or grape nuts cereal with chocolates syrup on top of vanilla ice cream. Kind of like fried ice cream. Now it is pnut butter, peanuts, chocolate chips and hot fudge on vanilla or chocolate chip ice cream!
Here in New Orleans, stuffed snoballs are to local FAVORITE! The snoball starts off with a layer of shaved ice (so thin and powdery that it melts in your mouth like snow) drenched in the flavored syrup of your choice…mine is chocolate or maybe wedding cake. Next, the snoball is stuffed with soft-serve ice cream topped with yet another layer of syrup coated ice. Finish it off with a dribble of condensed milk! YYUUMM!
Sweet!!
How I like my ice cream really depends. If I am fixing it at home, my very favoritest way of serving it is a scoop of Rocky Road, heaped with extra marshmallows and topped with chocolate syrup.
If I’m going out for ice cream and it is available, I’ll go for the coconut flavor every time. I’ve had it with nuts and with chocolate chips and really enjoyed each one. The cone adds a lot to this flavor, too.

Growing up I liked the simplicity of rainbow sherbert on a cone, but Dustin turned me on to something new. I love to scoop my vanilla ice cream in a glass and add a tad of milk (Dustin uses Chocolate ice cream and a ton of milk) and throw in some fresh brownies in it for texture, mix it up a little and I have one tasty cool treat.

I will leave you with two posts from my blog of things I love doing with ice cream:

I actually made another ice cream cake with strawberry ice cream for the middle layer, yellow sprinkle cake and french vanilla for the outside this week
Hi, My husband makes a wonderful pie with ice cream called “Bishop’s Pie” and I love the following creation:
Toasted almond and vanilla ice cream
layered with caramel and chocolate fudge topping, topped with whipped cream, nuts and cherry. Thanks, Cindi

I like to mix chocolate shavings into my mint ice cream!
My favorite way to have icecream is either in a milkshake (vanilla icecream, milk, chocolate syrup) or what my son and I call “icecream soup” where we stir the icecream until it is mostly melted.
A family favorite “recipe” is for Mudpie — you use oreos and butter for the crust, mix chocolate icecream and coffee icecream with a little Kahlua, and then top with melted fudge sauce (and/or chopped pecans).
My favorite is vanilla ice cream with crushed graham crackers and carmel syrup. MMM
katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.
I have two that are really great… the first is simply put any type of cereal on top of ice cream. Seriously, it sounds strange but it’s good. Captain crunch and fruity pebbles are the favorite in my house.
The other, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, followed by a scoop of shaved ice and topped with shaved ice flavoring. My favorite is strawberry… yum! jeepcutie82 at msn dot com
1 part mint ice cream (not with choc. chips – just mint)
1 part cheesecake ice cream
graham cracker bits.
Blend the two ice creams using a knife. Mix in the graham cracker bits. Enjoy!
Let’s see…. Start with a heaping scoop of chocolate icecream, mix in bits of warm, home made brownie, pour on the warn fudge syrup and savor.
Thanks for the opportunity guys!

All of the previous posts sound yummy, I’m going to have to pull out my mint choc chip from the freezer. When we go to JoJo’s soft serve I luuuuv there rootbeer shaved ice (I call it a snowcone) with a scoop of ice cream inside. They offer diet root beer syrup but honestly, why bother?

Mmmm… I love my ice cream next to warm brownies or pie. I love the half melted taste. So yummy!
My absolute favorite combination is sweet cream frozen yogurt, fresh peaches, granola, and a drizzle of caramel. If you’re feeling frisky, add in a little bit of sweetened coconut, too. Mash it all together and enjoy. Yum!
I’m drooling right now…
if its in a bowl – with a brownie and carmel sauce but if it’s a cone — must be a SUGAR cone!!
My favorite is very calorie laden – vanilla base with reese’s peanut butter cups, oreo cookies, caramel sauce and chocolate sauce. Sounds weird but absolutely divine!
I am head-over heels in love with Publix’s Mint Chocolate Cookie Frozen Yogurt – can’t tell it’s not ice cream! I serve it in a ramekin (to control portion) but top it with canned Hershey’s Syrup (tastes better from the can), whipped cream, and mini semisweet chocolate chips. Yum!

my favorite, is good ol vanilla with hot brownie bits mixed in, hot caramel topping all over…..pure simple heaven.
I like to take chocolate ice cream and put chocolate syrup on it. I also add oreo cookies to it. I sometimes add other things such as M&Ms. I also like to add a cherry to it as well.

Chocolate Ice cream
Chocolate Syrup
Whipped cream
Peanut Butter
Milk
Blended up and drink it! It is fabulous! I love the flavor and on a hot day like today, it’s heaven
I love a homemade banana milkshake: vanilla ice cream, vanilla bean, fresh banana and whole milk.

Someone somewhere makes an orange sherbert with dark chocolate chips, altho I haven’t found it in the stores for a while. (I should go look since I’ve moved again…) It doesn’t really sound good, but think of those chocolate oranges they sell around christmas…but cool and refreshing. Yum!
I love cherry vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips and oreos crumbled on the top yummo, and if I have on hand warm chocolate hersey syprup. Good eats. Thanks for the contest
When eating ice cream I have to get Soy Dairy Free, or Coconut Dairy Free since I am one of many people that are Lactose-intolerant. This is great though because we can still have soycream that tastes just like ice cream without regret! Personally I am a fruit girl. I like to get fresh strawberries, blueberries, and blend them in with vanilla soycream. I add a little soymilk, pour into a large glass and top with 80% cocao chocolate shavings. Delicious “milk” shake with tasty ingredients for that hot summer night.

There is this store near me that makes something they call a “razzle”. Now I’ve had “razzles” in other stores, and they’re nothing like this one!
This is what they do:
Place flavored slush in a cup.
Put in some peanut butter, choc. syrup, nut crunch, rice krispies, and then some vanilla/chocolate icecream.
Then they mix it with the milkshake machine.
YUM!!!!!!!!!
When I know that I won’t be finishing it within 5 minutes (which is quite rare!) then I request no ricekrispies. I like it better when it’s crunchy!
Vanilla Icecream atop a molten lava cake. Covered in caramel sauce and chopped nuts….yum
I’m plain I guess. I like Edy’s Rocky Road ice cream on a cone. It’s my favorite.
love my ice cream with hershey’s chocolate syrup
blueberries and cheesecake pudding
I am really craving vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, caramel, pecans and whipped cream right now. Look what you did. Great giveaway.
I’m a big fan of banana splits, but I cut up the bananas, add cherries, peaches, and pineapple, top with chocolate syrup and its oh soo yummy!
like to mix fresh fruit into vanilla..yummy
My ultimate ice cream creation would have 1 scoop each of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate, mixed with with bananas and marshmallows, hot fudge, whip cream, rainbow sprinkles, nuts, and cherries all in a vanilla sprinkle dipped waffle bowl. Yum sounds delicious. Great giveaway, thanks!
My very favorite is to make brownie pie with lots of yummy pecans. (You can either make brownie pie, or your favorite brownie recipe) I put a warm piece of the brownie pie in a bowl, then put chocolate syrup on top, and a couple of scoops of french silk chocolate ice cream. I cover it all with whipped cream and of course a cherry or two. This is the ultimate dessert – so very rich and chocolatey. Everyone loves it!

I like some caramel swirl ice cream with sliced fresh strawberries, whip cream and chocolate sauce on top. Yum.
Vanilla ice cream with sliced fresh peaches is another favorite. But I’ll generally eat good ice cream just about any way I can get it. (smeelia@gmail.com)
I would love chocolate ice cream with raspberries or marionberries swirled in it, and with peanut butter swirled in it. It could also be topped with whipped topping and a few chocolate chips. Yummy.
oops forgot my email in all the delicious ice cream dreaminess. hellomary018 at yahoo dot com
An exotic dry fruit like mangos are wonderful with cream. They taste like an exotic orange with a Latin attitude.
Add a little rumba with a touch of raspberry and now the mango is pretending to be an exotic subsistute for Peach Melba.
Now add that hint of mint from the south of the Carolina’s and oh-la-la, the South America meets the north’s Deep South.
(sigh) and Enjoy.
oh how i love top eat i ce cream and i do al most any thing for it lol
one third vanilla, one third chocolate, one third butter pecan topped with Hot fudge, chipped cream and chopped pecans and cherries.
I love the ice cream “soup”. So I eat the ice cream on the sides that slightly melted.
hetz-junk(at)hotmail(dot)com
My favorite ice cream confection is a Brownie Fudge Sundae! Hot, gooey, fudgey chocolate brownie, topped with rich vanilla ice cream melting down the sides. Then add a thick, warm chocolate fudge sauce, and top with whipped cream and a cherry. Oh, yum!
ksrutledge at hotmail dot com
I love mixing lots of good things in ice cream. My favorite is peanut butter,hot fudge,spanish peanuts,marshmallow sauce and mini chocolate chips. I guess good for me does not mean healthy.
I scoop my ice cream with a big old serving spoon…and I eat it naked!
I love Tin Roof Sundae ice cream with hot fudge sauce and pecans. I also like to make my own banana splits. A good scooper is a must-I’ve ruined several serving spoons that just weren’t strong enough!
willitara at gmail dot com
I love vanilla icecream with pretzels on it. But right now I scoop my icecream with a tupperware scooper but I would love to have a pamper chef one. I have some of there products and they are great but not an icecream scooper.
pretty much and ice cream with the old school treat magic shell, then cover with sunflower seeds or pecans = YUM
http://kristiniac.blogspot.com/2008/07/iceream-good-posture-and-more.html
Blogged here! Where is the link for the most unusual flavors? Just checking cause I didn’t see one, so I can add it to this posting
My answer to the question is also listed in the comments above!
I guess that I am a plain sort of person because I can dump the cherries and whip cream. I like to add granolla to my chocolate swirl ice cream.
kathleenyohanna@hotmail.com
I use a really old ice cream scooper and I like just plain ole chocolate ice cream.
I scoop my ice cream with a serving spoon and I eat it with cherries
I use an old fashion scoop to dish out chocolate dough cookie dough onto a sliced banana. Then I add chocolate syrup, with a touch a carmel and finish it off with nuts and add a few pralines for good measure! YUM!
keeponwinning(at)gmail(dot)com
I start with regular vanilla ice cream. I heat up the scooper under hot water and it makes it easier to get the ice cream out. Scoop into a bowl and add the chocolate or caramel topping that gets hard on contact. I put it back into the freezer though to let it get cold again.
Nothing beats Blue Bell ice cream. My favorite is Homemade Vanilla. Anything can be added to vanilla to create your own unique ice cream flavor.
I live close to a place that makes chocolate custard and mixes it in with toasted, salted pecans. They then top it off with caramel and hot fudge and whipped cream and a cherry. It’s so decadent and delicious!
I’m pretty simple when it comes to my ice cream!
I love moose tracks, with extra choholate fudge, whip cream, and carmel nuts..
scoop with what I can find, always chocolate and sprinkles on top!
I love Blue Bell, too or Braum's chunky chip! Either are good with a warm brownie and chocolate syrup! Or I saw a recipe for something good i want to try! Bake brownie dough in 2 8 or 9 in round pans put vanila or any other kind of ice cream between the 2 cooled brownies then roll the sides in M&M"s! frogz60@hotmail.com
Oreo cookies!
I just dig right into th ice-cream with whatever’s handy. My favorite topping is good old sprinkles. I love chocolate and rainbow!
Vanilla ice cream smooshed between two warm waffle. MMMMMM
Use a trusty old spoon to dish out my favorite ice cream! Mint chocolate chip, and a small side of rocky road!!

I like my ice cream scooped with a strong fork (I don’t have a scoop), and then I top it with strawberry jam, chocolate syrup, marshmallow cream and spray whip topping.
My family is partial to vanilla ice cream. But we live it scooped up and put on top off a warm brownie or cookie or scoop of peanut butter. We start off simple but end up with something great.
I am watching my weight and so far I have lost about 64 lbs and my treat is, I love Bryers Fat Free Creamy Vanilla and cover that with fat Free chocolate syrup and sprinkles. This is soooooooooooo good that you can not believe that it is all Fat free.
chocolate syrup
angelina115@hotmail.com
I put chocolate syrup all over it.
meza-angel@sbcglobal.net
I love to it it with blueberries or strawberries.
joliexox@hotmail.com
I love chocolate ice cream with peanut butter chips mixed in. On top I like to add hot fudge sauce and crunched up Oreos. So good!
We found that the easiest way to scoop icecream is to dip the scooper in warm water inbetween scoops. Now- for my families favorite icecream masterpiece:
We take Haagen-Dazs Cinnamon dulce de leche icecream and let it soften a bit. We then add a few drizzles of Smucker’s Hot Caramel Topping and fold that in. Next- you fold in Smuckers Pecans in Syrup. You then take left over apple pie and fold in small amounts of apple pie into the icecream and blend it all together. It is really a decadant treat with so many yummy flavors that work really well together. Hope you get to try it!

Start with a scoop each of rich vanilla ice cream and decedent chocolate ice cream. Top with hot fudge and marshmallow fluff. Then comes whipped cream, little chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top. YUMMY!!! Put it all in a waffle bowl and I maybe in heaven!
Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ice Cream!
Spanish peanuts, hot fudge, & vanilla ice cream.

I have bent many a good spoon, getting out ice cream, but once I get it out of course, caramel and chocolate, is the best things to add! Please enter me to win one of the scoops!!
I am an ice-cream fanatic! We just use a large spoon to scoop it out. My favorite is to take Haagan Daaz Coffee ice cream and put melted chocolte chips on top, it is so good! I also like to put fresh raspberries in Vanilla Ice-Cream. YUM!!!
I love to make homemade peach ice cream in the churn! It is the perfect end to a great summer day!
jennifercausby at hotmail dot com
I used to make “crunchy milkshakes” that were so yummy. Vanilla (or chocolate) ice cream, Milk and Rice Crispies. YUM!.
i eat it right out of the container or in a sugar cone
gotta love chocolate chips in any icecream!!
Try putting Skor bits in your ice cream! Yummy!

Make an asymmetrical ice cream sandwich. Take a thinly sliced brownie (or blondie), place a scoop of your favorite flavor on top of it and use a chocolate chip (or other favorite cookie type) for the other end of the sandwich. If wanted, roll the edges in hot fudge and/or sprinkles, colored ones preferably for the brilliant sparkly touch!
Just plain vanilla…nothing added to it…
Hazelnut coffee ice cream with swirls of fudge and caramel. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com
My favorite way to enjoy ice cream is to scoop soft vanilla ice cream up with a crunchy white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. [or two or three cookies
Yummy!]
Ice Cream is my favorite food. I like any kind with sprinkles. It makes me feel like a kid again.
M&M's on top of vanilla or butter pecan are always good to me. Thanks!
