Here are a few of our favorite Vanilla Ice Cream recipes!

If you’re having a major sweet tooth craving, try Zehorit’s Simplest Vanilla Doughnut Glaze with a scoop of vanilla ice cream… I know, it’s super decadent, but sometimes that’s just what we need.

Vicki’s Apple Puffed Pancake is topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Gloria’s Fudge Pie Recipe is topped with whipped cream, but I love it best with vanilla ice cream.

You know you’ve hit the motherload with Mimi’s Ice Cream Pie since it includes a gallon of ice cream. Mimi also shares her Brown Sugar Apple Crisp, of course, topped with vanilla ice cream.

One of my favs is a recipe provided by South Beach Mango Festival: Mango Split with Rum-Caramel Sauce and Macadamia Nuts!!

We end with a touch of Chinese cooking flair with Katie’s Banana Walnut Wontons (of course there sitting on top of…you guessed it, vanilla ice cream. Want more details on what you can create and eat to celebrate this great day of Vanilla Ice Cream? Here you go.

National Vanilla Ice Cream Day celebrates one of America’s favorite ice cream flavors.

Vanilla and chocolate ice cream vie for the taste buds of all ice cream lovers. Chocolate may win the popularity contest. But, vanilla is a close second. It is also more refreshing, and more versatile.  

It’s easy to celebrate Vanilla Ice Cream Day on a hot summer day like today. Enjoy it in a cone, a dish, a float, a shake, or in a cake. If you get it in a cone on July 23rd, ask for extra scoops, and worry about the calories later. Just make sure to eat it quickly, before it melts.
