July 9, 2013 at 8:52 pmI would eat and enjoy every one of these fantastic ice cream toppings. 🙂 Some of them don’t even need ice cream… I just need a spoon! 🙂

July 8, 2013 at 2:40 pmThat first one.
I wish the cake was a spoon.
These are a great idea. You know what goes into them and feel better about serving them to your family. The store-bought stuff does have some artificial ingredients.
CrunchyCreamySw says
July 12, 2013 at 6:32 pmYes to all of the above! 🙂 Thanks, Colette!

July 6, 2013 at 4:05 pmAnna, these sound fantastic … especially the strawberry coulis – love fresh strawberries in summer!
When I was a kid we went to an ice cream parlor that had not only coffee crunch ice cream, but one of the best toppings I have ever had … coffee flavored. It was thick and had the perfect balance of coffee flavor and sweetness and I can NOT find a recipe for it anywhere. Care to give it a try? 🙂
CrunchyCreamySw says
July 6, 2013 at 6:37 pmGreat idea, Annie! I actually have a recipe for Mocha Dulce de Leche, which your description reminds me of… Here is the link: https://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/2012/05/07/mocha-dulce-de-leche/
Let me know what you think. Could it be something like this?
Annie Miller says
July 7, 2013 at 12:55 pmI am so glad I mentioned this to you! This sounds like it will totally fit the bill … can’t wait to try it! Thanks so much!
CrunchyCreamySw says
July 7, 2013 at 2:39 pmGreat! Let me know how you like it, Annie! Thank you!
Annie Miller says
July 12, 2013 at 5:05 pmAbsolutely spot on … I am in heaven (now, I just have to keep myself from devouring this before spooning it on ice cream … and pound cake, oh, and milkshakes … )
CrunchyCreamySw says
July 12, 2013 at 6:38 pmLOL I love it! So happy this recipe is what you were looking for, Annie! Thank you!
