Hot days call for cold treats, and sometimes you just can’t beat good, old-fashioned ice cream. From over-the-top sundaes and shakes to fantastic homemade floats, bon bons and more, check out our top 10 ways to get your ice cream fix. Get the scoop, because it’s about to get out of cone-trol!

1. Milkshake: Shake it up by making your own diner-style milkshake right at home. Experiment with flavors like Chocolate Malt, Vanilla and Strawberry or something else entirely. Try our recipe!
2. Sundae: Now’s the time for all the toppings you can think of! We love our Fresh to Market Sea Salt Caramel Sauce or San Ignacio Dulce de Leche, Muddy Bites Waffle Cone Snacks and a variety of sweet and savory treats from our Bulk Department.
3. Affogato: At its simplest, an affogato is a scoop of vanilla gelato with hot espresso poured over the top. We like using ready-to-drink Equator Cold Brew Coffee for a cool, convenient and caffeinated dessert.
4. Bon Bons: Make your own chocolate-covered bon bons for a petite treat perfect for summer snacking. Try our recipe!
5. Ice Cream Sandwich: Any ice cream can be a handheld treat! Make your own ice cream sandwiches with fresh cookies from our Bakery or go the extra mile by making your own cookie base using Chef’n Ice Cream Sandwich Makers.
6. Banana Split: Grab a banana from our Produce Department then go wild with ice cream, sprinkles, whipped cream, Fran’s Organic Dark Chocolate Sauce or Raspberry Sauce and (of course) a cherry on top.
7. Ice Cream Cone: How many scoops is too many? We’ll leave that up to you. It’s all about the ice cream here, so pile it high to your heart’s content!
8. Float: Pour some soda in a glass, add a scoop of ice cream and garnish with something spectacular. Go classic with root beer and vanilla ice cream or try something fun and fruity like orange cream soda with a sweet sorbet.
9. Creamsicle: The secret to making premium-quality dairy-based popsicles is our Fresh to Market Whole Milk sourced from family farms right here in California. Try our recipe!
10. Ice Cream Taco: We're such fans of tacos, we even made a dessert version! This cool confection features a thin, crispy cookie called a tuile shaped into a taco shell and filled with ice cream. Try our recipe!
