As the weather warms up and flowers start to bloom, there’s no better time to celebrate the sweetness of spring with some decadent desserts. What better way to welcome the season than with our favorite ice cream? Here are some indulging treats to elevate your springtime gatherings:
- Easy Extreme! Moose Tracks Ice Cream Crepes: Whip up a batch of delicate crepes (or use store-bought ones – we won’t tell!) and fill them with heaping scoops of your favorite Moose Tracks Ice Cream – We’re using Extreme! Moose Tracks for the extreme richness factor. Drizzle warm fudge, dust powdered sugar and top with raspberries for a pop of freshness, perfect for spring 😊
- Moose Tracks Tiramisu: Put a delightful twist on a classic Italian dessert by incorporating Moose Tracks Ice Cream into its creamy layers. Go the lady finger route or make it easier on yourself by using sponge cake or angel food cake mix like we did. Alternate layers of cake soaked in coffee, luscious Moose Tracks Ice Cream and dusted with finely ground espresso beans makes for the ultimate sophisticated springtime dessert.
- Moose Tracks Ice Cream Pie with a Brownie Crust: Elevate the traditional ice cream pie by pairing Moose Tracks Ice Cream with a rich, fudgy brownie crust. Simply press store-bought (or homemade) brownie batter into a pie dish and bake until set. Once cooled, fill the crust with scoops of softened (not melty) Moose Tracks and top with chocolate shell syrup and a dollop whipped cream. Yum!
- Moose Tracks Ice Cream S’mores: Take a classic campfire treat to new heights. Instead of using marshmallows, combine marshmallow crème and cream cheese, and instead of chocolate, use Extreme! Moose Tracks for a rich, decadent filling. Sandwich the layers between graham crackers and you’ve got yourself the fireside or springtime barbecue treat of the season.
- Extreme! Moose Tracks Berry Meringue Trifle: You and your guests will be blown away by this light, yet indulgent dessert. Layer meringue cookies, Extreme! Moose Tracks and fresh berry compote for a symphony of flavors and textures that’s sure to impress.
