How to Have an Ice Cream Summer

To me, Summer means one thing more than anything else – ice cream. Having an ice cream summer is an excellent way to celebrate a delicious treat and have fun with your family.

• Start with the parameters. How do you want to celebrate? Ice cream weekly at your favorite spot? That you must get ice cream if someone suggests it? To discover new ice cream shops within a 30-mile radius? Ice cream EVERY SINGLE DAY? Decide how you’re going to frame the challenge.

• Do It Yourself. Don’t forget about DIY ice cream. Have you ever done the coffee can inside a coffee can ice cream? I made it as a kid in Girl Scouts and I truly don’t think I’ve had better ice cream in my life.

• Don’t forget toppings. What’s so great about having an entire Summer filled with ice cream is that you have the space to try new things! Get sprinkles! Add fruit! Try a waffle cone! Because you know more ice cream is coming soon, you won’t feel like you need to get your old favorite.

• Have fun with it. Remember, this is meant to be a fun challenge. Add a surprise ice cream every now and then, even if it’s not in the plan!

Have you ever had an ice cream summer? Or a season dedicated to a specific treat? If your family doesn’t like ice cream, what could you do instead? Share your ideas with us!
