The fun you can have with ice cream seriously knows no bounds

Whether decorating ice cream cones, creating ice cream rolls, or making no churn ice cream at home, the wonderfully-chilled world of ice cream, lollies and yoghurt ice pops, is full of delicious creativity, especially when the little ones are involved.

The cone

Gone are the days of a simple wafer cone that subsides the second the ice cream begins to melt. Today, options include gluten free, caramel-infused, extra thick, waffle and even bright and colourful.

Our favourites include the varied range from Australian favourite Altimate, a family owned company with a combined 78 years of industry experience. In 2004 Altimate Foods purchased their first waffle cone oven and today, they produce the largest range of wafer cones, sugar cones, waffle cones, waffle crunch and dessert wafers in Australia. Check out these offerings, now available at Choithrams.com

Toppings

Chocolate sauce is a staple for any ice cream topping. Whether you like classic hot fudge or want to try something new like an orange or caramel-infused version, you can’t go wrong with a drizzle of this velvety-smooth favourite. Hershey's do a great range and the strawberry drizzle sauce is always a winner with kids.

You can’t go wrong with sprinkles. Rainbow sprinkles make for a tasty, yet beautiful, presentation whereas chocolate sprinkles pair well with chocolate or caramel ice cream. Equally, chocolate chips, dried fruit, white chocolate shavings, and even crushed nuts all make for a fabulous texture and crunch.

The main event

While the shelves at Choithrams.com are chock full of irresistible flavours, sometimes it feels great to come up with your own. Try these unique and interesting ice cream flavors you can make with homemade store-bought ice cream.

You don't need an ice cream maker or churn, just a little imagination. Three easy steps and you'll find your way to ice cream heaven.

We're talking combinations like ginger and pineapple, toasted coconut chocolate chip and even honey date. Mix-ins add serious personality to vanilla and chocolate ice cream.

Bring the tropical into your dessert with a few spoons of drained, canned crushed pineapple and a tablespoon of fresh grated ginger into a pot of vanilla ice cream.
