Thanksgiving Conversation Starters: Best Ice Cream Combinations

October 25, 2022

Out of the countless reasons we’re thankful for ice cream, our favorite is that it can be enjoyed in so many ways. Whether you’re a fan of sweet or savory, here’s a few ice cream combinations that we dare you to try this Thanksgiving:

  1. French Fry Sundae – The ultimate sweet and salty combo that we never get tired of. If you haven’t tried dipping your fries in slightly melted Original Moose Tracks Ice Cream
 prepare to be amazed!
  2. Olive Oil + Salt – Adding a drizzle of olive oil and pinch of sea salt to a bowl of ice cream transforms an average dessert to a fanciful creation. Try this with Original Moose Tracks or switch it up with a classic flavor like Caramel Caribou for a rich, savory dream.
  3. Hamburger Taco – We’d be lying if we said we haven’t bit into our hamburger while eating fries and slurping a sundae. If you’re feeling adventurous and want something savory, order a plain hamburger with the bun, and add scoop of ice cream.
  4. Bacon + Maple Syrup – Rich vanilla ice cream, sweet maple syrup, and salty bacon is the trifecta you never knew you needed. All flavors compliment each other to make a delicious treat.

What odd combo would you try? Share with us on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

Let’s Get Cozy with Tracks’ Fall Favorites

September 27, 2022

The Pumpkin Spice Latte made its seasonal debut on August 30 and ever since, Tracks hasn’t stopped thinking about fall. Here are some of Tracks’ favorite activities that get him excited for cozy season… he isn’t ashamed to be a little basic!

  1. Have one last bonfire before it gets too cold – Summer is s’mores season, but there’s nothing better than warming up by the fire on a chilly September day
 With s’mores, of course.
  2. Make a Moose Tracks Ice Cream Melted Hot Chocolate – It’s ideal to make our melted hot cocoa recipe in the fall, but beware, you’re going to want to go back for seconds! One time, Tracks drank four at once.
  3. Get pumped up on pumpkin – Tracks is a huge fan of pumpkin, so indulging in as many pumpkin flavored foods as he can find is truly a talent. But the love of pumpkin doesn’t stop there! It wouldn’t be fall without pumpkin carving. Every year, it’s Tracks’ goal to carve at least one pumpkin before Halloween.
  4. Visit the apple orchard – Who doesn’t love taking a peaceful stroll through the apple orchard while enjoying warm cider and donuts? If Tracks could have one fall activity be all-year-round, it’s this one!
  5. Host Sunday night football – Tracks loves hosting football night, especially when he gets to help make (and eat) the yummy desserts. His top three favorite desserts to enjoy during football season are Moose Tracks Kitchen Sink Sundae, Moose Bread and Giant Moose Tracks Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich.

How to Keep Ice Cream from Melting in the Middle of the Summer

June 7, 2022

There is nothing quite like a refreshing, delicious cone of Moose Tracks Ice Cream during the summer. Although, you may need a few tips and tricks if you’re planning to serve it at your next outdoor gathering to avoid it melting too quickly.

 

First, you’ll want to make sure you’re using a cooler that is insulated enough. Any cooler you buy at the store will have some insulation, but you can increase it by:

  • Adding extra Styrofoam around the edges of your cooler
  • Lining the inside or outside of your cooler with aluminum or bubble foil
  • Adding a layer of foam between each layer of food stored in the cooler (yoga mat material is perfect for this)
  • Putting a smaller cooler inside a larger cooler (inception)

 

After ensuring your cooler is insulated enough, you’ll want to store your ice cream in a shaded area. Ice cream can last up to twice as long in the shade as it would in the sun! Your best chance at keeping your frozen treats cool in the summer heat is by storing them under trees, patio covers, canopies, gazebos or something similar.

 

Within the cooler, make sure that you’re storing the items as close together as possible. Air pockets between items will cause the ice to melt more quickly so eliminate them as much as possible.

 

Finally, if you want to keep your ice cream icy for more than a few hours, use dry ice instead of regular ice. If you do use dry ice, remember to keep it in a well-ventilated area and use proper protection, such as gloves, while handling because contact with dry ice can cause freezer burns.

 

There are lots of different ways to keep ice cream frozen – what other ways have you found to work well? Share your favorites on our Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or TikTok!

How to Request a New Ice Cream Flavor of Moose Tracks

May 3, 2022

If you’re asking yourself, “how do I get a certain flavor of Moose Tracks in my local grocery store?”, then look no further – we’ve outlined the process for you!

 

Moose Tracks is a licensed flavor, which means we license the flavor, logo, and recipe to ice cream brands like Kemps and Mayfield, as well as grocery retailers for their store brands, like Kroger’s Private Selection, Meijer’s Purple Cow, and more. These companies ultimately decide what flavors of Moose Tracks they would like to carry in their ice cream lineup.

 

If you want a certain flavor of Moose Tracks, like non-dairy Moose Tracks, to be available near you, contact your local retailer or favorite ice cream brand and let them know you’d love for them to add the flavor to their lineup. You can contact retailers like Kroger, Publix and others via their website, social media or email.

 

Also, do you have an idea for a Moose Tracks flavor you’ve never seen on shelves? Tell us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook or TikTok! We love to hear new ideas.
