July is the height of summer, which means now’s the time to chow down on ice cream! But if you’ve been eating a lot of ice cream this month, you might be looking for a way to spice things up. We’ve got you covered—here are three toppings for ice cream you might not have thought of before!
Meringue
Though not commonly an ice cream topping option, meringues come in a variety of flavors and have a super-unique crunchy texture that also melts in your mouth. That makes them a versatile and unique ice cream topping: you can choose a flavor that pairs with whatever type of ice cream you have and have a one-of-a-kind textural experience.
Marshmallows and Rice Krispies Treats
You might have heard of crisped rice as a topping and you might have heard of marshmallows—but did you ever think about combining them or using marshmallow fluff instead of whole marshmallows? Rice Krispies treats give you that light and unique marshmallow flavor along with the crunch of cereal. Yum!
Applesauce
It sounds a bit random but hear us out: you probably put vanilla ice cream on your apple pie, right? So, warming up some applesauce (especially homemade)—or even cooking up some apples—and using it to top vanilla ice cream is essentially the inverse of that. You can’t go wrong, especially if you love warm ice cream toppings.
