As we see ourselves in the thick of the winter season, temperatures are dropping, snow brushes have a long-standing residence in our backseats, and those of us fortunate enough to have automatic car starters are using them like it’s nobody’s business. While some could argue it’s way too cold to enjoy a delicious ice cream treat, we know fellow ice cream lovers (such as yourself) would never let something as trivial as a 17-degree day stop them from doing so. If you’re looking for a fun way to mix up your next winter dessert idea, try one of our top 3 ways to enjoy ice cream in the winter!
Affogato
Coffee and ice cream lovers unite with this delicious (and warm!) Italian ice cream treat. Our Affogato recipe couldn’t be easier! Simply place a couple scoops of your favorite Perry’s Ice Cream flavor in a mug, add a delicious cup of coffee or shot of espresso, and voila! You can enjoy the taste of ice cream without feeling chilly in the process.

Pint ‘O Coffee
If you’ve tried an affogato recipe before and are looking to switch things up, we’ve got another suggestion hot and ready for ya! This single-serve coffee dessert starts with your favorite Perry’s Ice Cream Pint flavor. Grab your go-to pint and use a spoon to carve a small opening from the side all the way down to the bottom, creating a passage for the coffee. Then, use a funnel, measuring cup, or place the pint right below your single-serve coffee maker (like a Keurig or Nespresso), and pour the coffee into the opening created in your pint. Grab a spoon and enjoy!

Hot Chocolate
If you’re not one for coffee or decide to make this a late-night snack, fear not! This caffeine-free ice cream treat will keep you warm and cozy without keeping you up all night. Like the affogato recipe, simply grab your favorite flavor, add a scoop or two to your mug, and pour hot chocolate right on top. Easy, delicious, and kid-friendly!
