I Scream You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream

                                                       Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream

While most may think ice cream is a summer treat, the truth is ice cream is a timeless dessert.  Any time of the day, any time of the year, in any bowl; that is the way to eat ice cream.

Think different?

Well, Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream has been around since 1928 and it has come a long way since its first batch of ice cream, Rocky Road.  It now has many flavors including Limited Edition Holiday flavors, making ice cream a winter treat.

These Holiday flavors include:

·       Peppermint

·       Eggnog

·       Apple Pie

·       Hot Cocoa

Now if you are one of those people who prefer a nice hot cup of hot chocolate when it is cold, but still have a passion for ice cream, Dreyer’s has made an ice cream for you.

The Hot Cocoa ice cream is smooth and creamy and taste just like a cup of hot cocoa, but just really cold hot cocoa.  The marshmallows in the ice cream are the perfect touch in making this chocolate ice cream into hot cocoa ice cream. 

“The best part is the marshmallows. The marshmallows are actually soft! In terms of both taste and texture, it is like they are fresh from a brand new bag! They are soft and fluffy enough that Mr. Staypufft himself might wonder how they did it,” posted on Gigi-reviews.blogspot.com.

If hot chocolate is not your choice for indulgence this holiday season, and you prefer to snuggle up with a glass of eggnog, well Dreyer’s once again has something just for you.

I have yet to indulge in Dreyer’s Eggnog ice cream, but you can be sure that it is on my to-do list.

However, Lizabeth on iateapie.net said that “This ice cream is superb! It has all of the classical taste of eggnog, including distinct but not overwhelming nutmeg and rum flavors. It's sweeter than just straight eggnog, but isn't as sweet as most vanillas.”

Ok so eggnog nor hot chocolate just are not your thing.  Well, there is always the refreshing flavor of peppermint and the comfort of apple pie.

Peppermint ice cream.  Weird? Yes.  First thought: it has to be disgusting.  But there is Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream and that is often a favorite.

Dreyer’s Peppermint ice cream is just as smooth and satisfying as a Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, but better.  The P in peppermint here stands for perfect, as in perfect for this holiday season.  Not only is it bright pink with red peppermint pieces, it is a perfect balance between mint and sweet. 

“During the holiday season you can find a Peppermint Crunch flavor that really puts you in the holiday mood,” said Amy Brantley on associatedcontent.com.

Finally, there is Dreyer’s Apple Pie ice cream.  Again, this one is on my list to try.  But I imagine that it will not only be as pleasant as the other Holiday Limited Editions ice cream flavors by Dreyer’s, but that it will also be as satisfying as a warm piece of apple pie. 

“Apple Pie offers a smooth and creamy experience. The ice cream has a strong apple flavor and while some people might not like the slightly tart taste I found it to be a delicious change of pace compared the more traditional (and sweet) flavors, said Ken on Frozen Food Journal. 

Also, do not forget that these four flavors will only be available for a limited time, so hurry and get to the grocery store.

I scream (especially me), you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

And Happy Holidays, too!
