In these parts we all scream for ice scream, and who can blame us? It’s delicious! If you’re an ice cream fiend like me, here are a few ice cream toppings you can try out, apart from your usual sprinkles and chocolate syrup.

Olive Oil + Sea Salt 

One of the most classic ways to enjoy flavors like vanilla or straight up chocolate ice cream is by healthy pour of fruity olive oil and a small sprinkle of good salt. The olive oil adds a complementary note, and the salt counters the sweetness to balance it out. It sounds a little weird but it’s DELISH!

Honey

Being indulgent doesn’t mean opting for junk. Add some pizzazz to your ice cream with a stream of glistening honey. It’s the right amount of sweetness, coupled with a ton of antioxidants. For an added layer, give it a good sprinkling of granola for some crunch.  

Popcorn + Syrup 

Sweet and savory is always a winner. Dare yourself to try sweet and salty combinations that are out of the box. My current pick is some white cheddar popcorn on ice cream, with a drizzle of organic coconut flower syrup. If you want to add an extra sprinkle of salt, no one’s stopping you.  

Jam 

For those that like to layer a mix of sweet and tart, fruity jams on ice cream make a fun combination. Go classic with a spoonful of strawberry jam, or be a little adventurous and go for something like an ube coco rhum jam.

Chocolate-covered nuts 

Who can forget chocolate? Chocolate and ice cream are best buddies! Chocolate-covered pili nuts on plain ice cream add a hint of richness, and a subtle saltiness.

These are just a few of the ways of the ice scream – we’re pretty sure you have your own little hacks for it too! But one thing stands true: on a hot, sticky day – NOTHING cools you down like a scoop or three of your favorite frozen treat. Cheers!
