    Ooooooooh these toppings look so good! My number one priority this summer is making my own ice cream. I need to get on that so that I can make my way through this tasty list.

  4. Curry and Comfort says

    I 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! 🙂

  5. Asha Shivakumar says

    The hard shell, hands down. I would have it Monday thru Friday and repeat it all over..Delicious!!!

  6. Georgia The Comfort of Cooking says

    Love all these scrumptious ideas for making frozen treats even more delicious! Great recipes, Anna!

  7. Colette says

    That 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.

    I agree, homemade is so much better than store bought! I still need to try that white chocolate magic shell!

    I need to make the magic shell, solely to impress my children of course!

  12. Monica Cheng says

    I love all of these ice cream toppings! Very handy, so that I don’t have to run to the store just for sauce that I can now make myself (:

  13. Kate@Diethood says

    I love ’em all!! That white chocolate magic shell… heeellllloooo trouble! 😀

    Anna, 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? 🙂

        I 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!

            Absolutely 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 … )
