Monday Mashups: Five Creative Ways to Celebrate National Ice Cream Month

It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas--National Ice Cream Month! When the weather is hot, you need this sweet treat to cool off. Don't just enjoy it on a cone or in a cup, check out these five creative ways to celebrate National Ice Cream Month! Seriously, you'll have to try these out!

Celebrate with..

A Not Your Fathers Root Beer Float

This is one for the adults and it will have you feeling like a kid again! Get the recipe from Tipsy Bartender here and enjoy these ice creamy concoctions all summer long!

A Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream

At Churn2 in Cambridge, MA, you can get your favorite flavors frozen right in front of your eyes! Operating out of a storage container, Churn2 is full of surprises--and nothing beats their ice cream!

An Ice Cream Pizza

When the best of both worlds collide! At Emack and Bolio's, you have to try the Ice Cream Pizza. Dubbed the "Connoisseurs of Ice Cream", this frozen treat is sure to hit the spot with each bite!

A Battle of Bunker Hill Tribute

For just $17.76 (appropriate price tag for the Revolutionary War time period), enjoy 17 scoops of ice cream and as many toppings (like homemade fudge, butterscotch, macaroon crunch, and cherry-caramel sauce) as you can fit in this baking dish. We can guarantee you'll have a sugar rush followed by a food coma after leaving Putnam Pantry in Danvers, MA!

A Doughnut Ice Cream Sandwich

It's true, they've thought of everything these days! Get a doughnut ice cream sandwich at Boston's very own Blackbird Doughnuts. You can pick your favorite doughnut flavor and have it stuffed with either chocolate, vanilla or twist ice cream. Honestly, what could be better?

We wish you a very happy National Ice Cream Month and hope you will join us in devouring the details of this celebration all month long!
