What are some delicious ice cream social ideas?

[Debbieskk]

Hi, everyone! Hope you're all doing well and enjoying these hot summer months. I was hoping that a few of you may have some ideas for me. I'm doing a show in 3 days, and the host just decided he wants to do an "ice cream" bar or "ice cream social" - HELP. I've never done one of these before, so i'm looking for some cool, fail-safe ideas or recipies.

I'd be very thankful to anyone who passes along some ideas or recipies my way.

Thanks in advance,

Debbie

Here's what I have....

If you go to files and type in Coldstone or Cold Stone, you will find some great ideas!

Also - when I have done Ice Cream Social Parties - I will have a prebaked brownie in the large bar pan, and then do an apple or banana stirfry type of topping, and set it up so that people can create their own Sundaes.

Nuts - chopper
Strawberries - egg slicer
Bananas - knife
Cool Whip - EAD
Oreos - Meat Tenderizer, or chopper
Candy Bars (snickers, milky way...) - knives
Fudge Sauce & mini M&M's in SA w/ small bamboo spoons.
Ice Cream - Ice Cream Scoop!

Along with what Becky posted, I also made the blueberry sauce from the Summer Berry Shortcake recipe and THAT was delicious AND shows the non-stick pan along with the others. Also, as each topping is prepared, put each in a prep bowl for folks to serve themselves then, after the demo. The sm. Bamboo spoons are great to serve with then.

Hey has anyone had problems with their ice cream scoop getting blackish spots on the scoop head? My DH washed mine and let it air dry and then spots appeared.

Ohhh - that sounds so good! It's blueberry season here - I'm making that for my next show!:thumbup:

Thanks so much, everyone! I heard there was a recipe for hot fudge that you make in the micro cooker - is that the chocolate praline sauce that you were talking about? Also, do you think it's too much to do the choc. fudge sauce, blueberry topping and either the applies or bananas? By the way, which do you like better, the banana topping or the apple?

Thanks again,

Debbie

Something you could demo also is in the delightful desserts. Its called Grasshopper Dessert Squares but it uses ice cream.
