As the saying goes, “we all scream for ice cream” – and that includes children and adults alike! Some of the perks of having an adult-only ice cream social include fancy grown-up flavors (think alcohol-spiked syrups), and getting to eat as much ice cream as you want without your mom nagging you about stomach aches.

Keeping the ice cream flavors basic helps create a nice base for fun toppings, so stick with flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Then, ask your guests to bring toppings like salted caramel, strawberries with balsamic syrup, praline pecans, crushed chocolate-covered pretzels, Baileys Irish Cream, chocolate-covered espresso beans, popcorn… the list of possibilities is endless. And of course, you’ll need sprinkles, chocolate sauce, and fresh whipped cream. Another nice treat is to have freshly brewed strong coffee or espresso so guests can create their own version of affogato.”
