Best Ice Creams Of 2012

On the last day of 2012 I thought I'd feature 3 of my favorite ice cream photos of 2012.
Here they are .... I hope you enjoy them!

Photo 1 - One of the creamiest, sweetest ice cream cones I've ever had!
New York Cheesecake ice cream and candy apple ice cream in a waffe cone.

Photo 2 - One of the smoothest and most indulgent of combinations in a cone:
Dark chocolate ice cream and real vanilla swirled with salted caramel.

 

Photo 3: On a tray about to be served together in a French seaside ice cream parlor:
Banana split with strawberry and vanilla ice cream and a mint choc chip/vanilla sundae. Notice the lashings of chocolate sauce on both sundaes!

May 2013 bring ever more delicious ice cream into all our lives!

Ice Cream Knowledge Earns $50,000

A favorite TV quiz show in my family is "Eggheads" where a team of "Quiz Experts" are challenged each show by a team from the general public. It's not often that the challengers win and indeed the prize money ($2000 per show) rolls over to the next show if they don't. So by the time a team finally beats the "Eggheads" the prize money is usually quite high.

On a recent show we were watching, the challengers actually won - and what's more the key question they answered correctly was about ice cream! Here it is ....

Question: What costs $1,000 as a 'house special' at Serendipity 3 in New York?

Answer: A Chocolate Sundae

The challengers not only had the pride of knowing they'd beaten the experts but they won $50,000 in the process. How's that for a pay-off to liking ice cream!

The real, detailed answer to the question of course is 'Golden Opulence Sundae' which I've previously written about on Blog Of Ice Cream. (Follow the link to view)

If you're interested in ice cream sundaes, you'll find pictures on my website of ones I made at home including:
