Cool n’ Classic Shake

You’ll need:

• ½ cup Galliker’s milk
• 2 scoops Galliker’s ice cream, any flavor
• 3 tablespoons chocolate or strawberry syrup
• 1 maraschino cherry

This simple recipe makes hundreds of delicious combinations! Make Chocolate Marshmallow ice cream extra rich by adding chocolate syrup. Or add a swirl of strawberry to Birthday Cake ice cream. To make, combine all ingredients in a blender and mix on high for 5 to 10 seconds, or until all ingredients are evenly combined. Pour into a tall glass. Add a cherry and a straw. Start sipping!

Awesome Ice Cream Sandwich

You’ll need:

• 2 large cookies (can be store-bought or homemade)
• Your favorite Galliker’s ice cream
• Sprinkles or colored sugar

Soften ice cream at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. When the ice cream is easily scoopable, use a small spoon to scoop and spread a layer of ice cream about 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick on the bottom side of one cookie. Top with the second cookie. Roll the edges in a saucer filled with sprinkles or colored sugar. Enjoy immediately or place on a plate covered with waxed paper and freeze until firm, about 2 hours. To freeze multiple ice cream sandwiches, use a baking sheet or tray lined with waxed paper.

Old-Fashioned Banana Split

You’ll need:

• Galliker’s Neopolitan ice cream
• 1 banana, split lengthwise
• Crushed pineapple or pineapple ice cream topping
• Chocolate syrup
• Strawberry syrup
• Walnuts or peanuts
• Whipped cream
• Maraschino cherries

Arrange the two halves of banana in a long bowl or ice cream boat. Top with three scoops of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream – or the flavor of your choice. Spoon the pineapple, chocolate and strawberry toppings over the ice cream and sprinkle with nuts. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and as many maraschino cherries as you’d like!

Fruitastic Smoothie

You’ll need:

• 1/2 cup strawberries
• 1 sliced banana
• 1/2 cup sliced peaches
• 1/2 cup crushed pineapple
• 1 cup Galliker’s vanilla ice cream

• 1/2 cup Galliker’s milk

Place strawberries, banana, peaches, pineapple and ice cream in a large blender and blend until ingredients are combined evenly and mixture is smooth. Add ice and milk to the blender and blend again until smooth. Serve immediately. This recipe works great with all kinds of fruit – try strawberries and blueberries for a berry delicious experience. Or change it up with a different flavor of Galliker’s ice cream, like Cherry Vanilla or Black Raspberry.

Ice Cream Pie

You’ll need:
