CALIFORNIA (Oakland) — This just in, summer has arrived in the Bay Area. While many of you across the country have already been buzzing about hot weather and record-shattering heat, here in the San Francisco Bay Area, it's breaking news when the sun finally emerges through the fog. Our office has been taking full advantage of these warm, sunny days and diving into ice cream sundaes. After much testing and tasting (tough job, right?), we've come up with five frosty combinations to headline the rest of your summer:
- "Grown Up" Sundae: Top your favorite ice cream with warmed Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce from Michael Recchiuti, whipped cream, chopped toasted hazelnuts and a touch of sea salt. And don't forget the amarena cherry on top.
- Ice Cream Seeks Tropical Passion: Drizzle vanilla ice cream with Uncle Roy's Passion Fruit Curd and garnish with whipped coconut cream and toasted coconut.
- Cherry & Chocolate Bliss: Spoon Amarena Cherries over vanilla or dark chocolate gelato and finish with bittersweet chocolate shavings.
- AB&J (Almond Butter & Jelly): Layer strawberry ice cream with Marcona Almond Butter, sliced fresh strawberries, whipped cream and chopped almonds.
- The Ultimate Ice Cream Sandwich: Fold chopped Candied Morello Cherries (now 25% off) into vanilla ice cream and sandwich between two Ricciarelli cookies.
