Circus Animal and Sprinkles Ice Cream

So Portland had it’s hottest day of the year last week and I decided it was the perfect day to make ice cream.  Well, it may be the perfect day to make and eat ice cream but not the perfect day to photograph ice cream!  Even in my air conditioned house I was racing to get photos taken of this yummy ice cream before it melted!

I think I have visited every ice cream store in Portland.  If you ever  need a run down on Portland’s best ice cream shops, just let me know.  I visited a new one a few weeks ago and they had a flavor that totally took me back to my childhood.   What screams “childhood” more than circus animal cookies and sprinkles!  I loved both as a kid and I still love them both. I am a firm believer that sprinkles make everything better!

I have been known to buy myself a bag of circus animal cookies and hide them for my private enjoyment  more than once!

Circus Animal Cookies and Sprinkles Ice Cream

After trying it at the local ice cream shop I knew I had to come home and give it a try.  I used my favorite, basic vanilla ice cream recipe and just added in some circus animal cookies and sprinkles!

It is was so yummy and so fun to eat and makes you feel like a kid all over again.

I love the crunch of the cookies in the soft, creamy ice cream and the sprinkles just make it more fun to eat and  look prettier too!

Circus Animal Cookies  and Sprinkles Ice CreamEnjoy a little visit to your childhood and mix up a batch of this Circus Animal Cookies and Sprinkles Ice Cream!  Of course I had to have it on a cone.  The only way to eat ice cream when you’re a kid!

    O.M.G! Not only have you gotten me with my sweet tooth, but you’ve touched my heart like no other blogger has before! See, my grandmother used to buy me these cookies when I was a little girl… And still today they have a special place in my heart ????… So now you’ve brought two of my favorite things together and make me think of my favorite person in the whole world! I’m always pinning sweet things, but this…… This I’m DEFINITELY making! Thank you for the memories ????????????????????????????????

    I notice that you put the ice cream in what looks like a bread pan to firm up. Is this better than a plastic storage container? Mine always changes texture when I put it in the freezer.

      Judy, I only did that for taking pictures because it looks nicer. When I put it in the freezer I use one of these : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDHE4ZI?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00EDHE4ZI&linkCode=xm2&tag=yourhomebas0e-20
