Cinnamon Churro Ice Cream Bowl

For this five-minute bowl, we start with a scoop of America's #1 vanilla ice cream, Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream, then dress it up with three simple things. Break a couple of warm churros and lay them across the top, drizzle with dulce de leche, and finish with a dusting of cinnamon sugar. That's it! Enjoy the contrast of the sugar-crusted churro against a smooth scoop of vanilla – the most deliciously unexpected flavor combination you could ask for.

Olive Oil and Sea Salt Ice Cream Bowl

Breyers French Vanilla ice cream is rich and smooth with a custardy, creamy taste. A drizzle of quality extra-virgin olive oil over the top adds an almost buttery note, and a pinch of flaky sea salt brings a savory edge that plays against the sweetness. It's the kind of dessert you'd spot on a restaurant menu and be surprised takes under a minute to recreate at home.

Strawberries and Cream Ice Cream Bowl

For a classic strawberries-and-cream ice cream bowl, start with Breyers Natural Strawberry ice cream, which does most of the work for you. It's made with California strawberries and real fruit pieces blended throughout, so the flavor's already there. Just top a scoop with whipped cream and a few sliced fresh strawberries, then garnish with fresh mint or basil.

CarbSmart™ Chocolate Crunch

Breyers CarbSmart™ Chocolate is the star of this bowl, combining rich chocolate flavor with crunchy toppings for a dessert that's satisfying every time. It's a great everyday option when you want something a little lighter, without giving up the flavors and textures you love. Add chopped almonds, a spoonful of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of cocoa nibs for extra crunch.
