If you follow me on any social media platform, you might have noticed that I like to indulge in coffee. I’ve gotten really good about limiting my trips to Starbucks to just once or twice a week, since I could literally be there every day if I allowed myself. I was also recently introduced to Starbucks Natural Fusions which means I can make a lot of my favorite drinks at home. I also tend to have a sweet tooth (which I really need to curb!) and it just so happens that ice cream is another one of my favorite, late-night indulgences.
Did you know that Starbucks offers an entire line of ice cream inspired by your favorite drinks? You probably guessed that I’m very familiar with the line. I often purchase out of familiarity and never actually stopped to realize that there are seven varieties, 3 of which are coffee-free. Since the line was introduced, I’ve tried four of the seven flavors, all of which are equally delicious. I prefer the varieties that contain coffee because it’s one of my favorite types of ice cream.
If you’ve ever attempted to read the list of ingredients in your favorite ice cream, you probably had some difficulty. Starbucks Ice Cream is simply milk, cream, sugar, and a few other ingredients you can pronounce and identify. Despite the fact that the ice cream is free from things like artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup, it’s still prudent to remember that ice cream (in any form) is a treat and should be consumed as such.
I am quite content to enjoy a scoop of Java Chip Cappuccino as is. However, the site offers several recipes inspired by the ice cream. Here is the one I’d most like to attempt:
4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
1 pint Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino Ice Cream
8 pizzelle cookies
Remove lid from Starbucks Java Chip Frappuccino Ice Cream. Carefully cut through carton, with a serrated knife, to make 4 even slices; peel off carton.
Arrange 4 cookies on platter, layer each with an Ice Cream slice, then top with remaining cookies. Sprinkle, if desired, with confectioners sugar.
Starbuckcs Ice Cream is sold in the freezer department of your local grocery and retails for $3-$4/pint.
