Easy Desserts Made or Served with Vanilla Ice Cream
A collection of 12 easy desserts that are made or served with vanilla ice cream.
When I buy ice cream at the grocery store on a hot day, I just about need a police escort to get home fast enough so it doesn’t melt.
Thank goodness for an insulated cooler tote that I keep in the back of my car which buys me a little time.
So back to the real topic here, vanilla ice cream.
Vanilla ice cream is delicious on its own, but it’s even better when made into a milkshake or served on top of a warm dessert.
About this Collection of Recipes
This collection of recipes includes 12 easy desserts that are made with, or served with vanilla ice cream.
These recipes include milkshakes, ice cream floats, and warm desserts topped with vanilla ice cream.
Milkshakes and Ice Cream Floats
The milkshakes in this collection are made with malted milk powder so technically they should be called a malt or malted milkshake.
But no matter what you call them, shakes made with malted milk powder taste so delicious that I use it in every shake that I make.
Malted milk powder adds richness, a thicker consistency and a slight bit of savory flavor to a milkshake so that it’s not overly sweet.
Warm Desserts Served with Vanilla Ice Cream
The warm desserts in this collection include cobblers, pies made with various types of crust and a unique brown butter and banana dessert.
The combination of a warm dessert and lightly melted ice cream in each bite is divine.
Thank You!

Let’s start with milkshakes…
Milkshakes
Malted Milk Date Shake…
This rich and creamy malted milkshake is made with fresh dates.
Whenever I’m in the Palm Springs, California area I have to stop and get a date shake first thing.
The Palm Springs area is known for their date shakes and they taste wonderful, especially on a hot day in the dessert.
Next, a Toasted Marshmallow Malted Milkshake…
It’s amazing how just a few ingredients mixed together can taste sooo good…
…and this is one of those recipes.
This is one of my favorite milkshakes ever and it’s always a hit when I serve them to family and friends.

On to some unique ice cream floats…
Ice Cream Floats
Malted Milk Ball Shake Float…
These shakes are made with malted milk, malted milk ball candies and milk.
There’s malted milk ball candy inside and out…
…both in the shake plus whole candies are in the shake float.
For the float part…scoops of ice cream are added to the serving glass and the shake is poured over them.
So in this recipe, there’s two kinds of ice cream, vanilla for the shake and a flavor of your choice for the float.
Here’s another unique float…Shirley Temple Ice Cream Float…
Made with grenadine syrup and lemon-lime soda, this float is made with a nostalgic drink called a Shirley Temple.
When poured over scoops of vanilla ice cream, the combination of flavors taste wonderful.

On to the…Red Velvet Ice Cream Float…
There’s no soda in this float, just two ingredients for the “red velvet” part…
…pomegranate juice and…
…chocolate syrup.
Just pour the red velvet ingredients over scoops of vanilla ice cream, add toppings and serve.
Let’s check out the warm desserts topped with vanilla ice cream…
Pie Variations
Mango, Blueberry and Ginger Galette..
Galettes are quick and easy to make.
When this galette is served warm and topped with vanilla ice cream…

Next, a quick and easy “pie” with a crunch…Warm Cherry Pie Roll…
Made with pie filling of your choice and flour tortillas, these pie rolls are quick and easy to make.
The tortilla edges are folded over the pie filling, and then it’s rolled and lightly pan-fried.
After the pie roll cools to a warm temperature, just top with vanilla ice cream and dessert is served.
On to some fruit and berry cobblers…
Easy Homemade Apple Cobbler…
The melted ice cream with each warm apple streusel bite is sheer comfort food.
A colorful dessert…Peach and Blackberry Cobbler…
Served warm, the tart berries and sweet peaches are the perfect match with lightly melted vanilla ice cream.
More comfort food…Peach and Nectarine Cobbler…
Warm fruit and lightly crunchy crust, with melted vanilla ice cream bites are the best.
Homemade Ice Cream Sauce
Berry Wine Ice Cream Sauce…
This sauce is simple to make…
…unique and the thick consistency pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream.
Serve slightly warm over vanilla ice cream for a simple yet decadent dessert.
