Here is a really good idea for serving ice cream to kids whether its for a party or just a fun dessert. You take a small bucket (I got these for $1 at Target) and a pin wheel. The idea is to make it look like the pin wheel is in a bucket of dirt. Kids think it’s cool.
First you wash the bucket out thoroughly and fill it with your preferred ice cream or sorbet then top it with crushed chocolate cookie wafers. You can simply stick the pin wheel into the bucket and Wella~
I made these for some kids down the street. One is allergic to dairy, soy, and gluten so I made his with a dairy, gluten and soy free product I got at Whole Foods. Now, instead of crushed cookies (which you can find gluten free at Whole Foods) I opted for chocolate mint marshmallows by Kraft for Jack ~ Little Owen needed a dairy and soy free dessert so he got some of the same ice cream as Jack did but with the chocolate wafers on top. Ellis can eat anything so he got it all. If you really wanted to make it extra fun you could even add gummy worms to the pot.
You can also buy some small clay pots (wash, wash, wash) and put a little tin foil in the bottom first to prevent the ice cream from melting through the hole and instead of pin wheels put a big artificial flower in the pot. I served this to my husband with coconut gelato and chocolate wafers. Cute.
It’s always amusing to experiment and have fun with the ordinary everyday things. It makes life interesting and helps to create memories and maybe even traditions! I hope that your summer is filled with lots of little surprises ~:D
