I don't know about you all, but I am getting just a little bit excited that summer is just around the corner. Summertime means long days poolside, backyard BBQ's, summer vacations, & of course- ice cream! 





Summer is definitely ice cream season. What better way to cool off on a hot summer day than with a fun ice cream treat? :)





My family & I have recently discovered all the delicious flavors of Moose Tracks Ice Cream just in time for the summer. With so many flavors & varieties to choose from at all of our favorite retailers, each member of my family is sure to find the flavor (or flavors!) of Moose Tracks that they will love all summer long. (CLICK HERE to see which of your favorite Moose Tracks flavors are offered at retailers near you.)






While you can never go wrong with a scoop on a cone or in a cup , I like to make ice cream a little more fun during the summertime. Both of the kiddos are home from school for the summer, and it is time to turn up the fun!






Here are 5 ways to make Moose Tracks Ice Cream just a little more fun this summer...









1. A Sprinkles Themed Ice Cream Bar.





Grab all of the sprinkles out of the pantry, & let the kiddos go crazy putting their favorite sprinkles on their scoops of Moose Tracks Ice Cream. This is also a fun dessert idea for a backyard BBQ or summer get-together.

2. Ice Cream Stuffed Donuts. 





Move over ice cream sandwiches & cookiewiches! The new rage is to stuff a scoop of your favorite Moose Tracks Ice Cream into a glazed donut.

3. Cream Soda Float.




For a fun & easy summertime treat, place two scoops of your favorite Moose Tracks Ice Cream into a tall glass. Pour your favorite flavor of cream soda over top. Don't forget to serve it with a fun straw! 
* Pro tip: Use a scoop each of two different flavors of Moose Tracks for even more flavor fun. 







4. Grilled Banana Split.




A grilled banana split is a fun, summertime take on a classic ice cream treat. Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Leaving the peel on, cut a banana in half lengthwise. Place the banana halves on the grill, cut side down for 2-3 minutes. Serve the banana cut side up, & top with 1-2 scoops of your favorite Moose Tracks Ice Cream. Easy, peasy! 







5. Affogato.





A simple affogato is personally one of my favorite ways to enjoy Moose Tracks Ice Cream.

Simply place a scoop (or two!) of your favorite flavor into a coffee cup, & then pour some hot espresso right over top. As the ice cream melts, it creates a creamy, decadent treat that only takes 2 ingredients & few minutes to make!
