Ice Cream For Breakfast Day 

Eating ice cream for breakfast is basically every little kid’s dream! Well, that and being able to have pizza for dinner every single night. But even for those who are no longer 8 years old, it is worth admitting that there’s certainly something fun and enticing about the idea of having a big ol’ bowl of ice cream first thing in the morning.

Since it takes three gallons of milk to make one gallon of ice cream, perhaps it’s simply like getting the kids to eat a bunch of milk in the morning (with a bit of sugar and other flavors as well)! So why not celebrate Ice Cream for Breakfast Day this year?

History of Ice Cream for Breakfast Day

Ice Cream for Breakfast Day was created in the 1960s by housewife Florence Rappaport from New York. The exact year of the day’s creation is unknown, but it is suspected that it could have been 1966, as an enormous blizzard had hit that year in the New York area–and this delightful little story hinges around cold and snowy weather.

The idea behind the day was simply that Florence’s 6 children were exceptionally bored one cold and snowy February morning. As a mom and social worker, she felt she needed to come up with something to entertain them so they wouldn’t get restless and cranky. As she herself explained years later, “It was cold and snowy and the kids were complaining that it was too cold to do anything. So I just said, ‘Let’s have ice cream for breakfast.’”

The following year, Florence’s six children, who had obviously enjoyed the new little holiday their mother had created, reminded her of it. So they celebrated again, and the day became a tradition in their family from then onward.

The day really caught on, too, as time went on. Thanks to Florence’s grandchildren, who have traveled extensively, the idea has been shared with others and the news has spread around the globe. Over the past 60 years, Ice Cream for Breakfast Day has grown to be celebrated in countries all over the world, from Germany to Nepal to as far as Namibia.

These worldwide celebrations range from small, family-style gatherings to large parties. Some of the celebrations have even been featured in the Chinese edition of Cosmopolitan magazine and local magazines or newspapers as well. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has done at least two pieces on Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, once in Hebrew, and once in English. And the day continues to be a popular one among English speakers in Jerusalem.

How to Celebrate Ice Cream for Breakfast Day

The celebration of Ice Cream for Breakfast Day has some pretty obvious instructions right in the title–simply enjoy ice cream for the morning meal! However, those who are looking for some other, more creative ideas, try out some of these for inspiration:

Enjoy Ice Cream for Breakfast with the Family

Seeing as how Ice Cream for Breakfast Day is the perfect day to not only enjoy a breakfast of cold sweetness but also to spend time with your family, what could possibly create a better atmosphere than the whole family sitting around the table together, talking, joking around and having a tasty bowl of ice cream?

Make Ice Cream Sundaes for Breakfast

To make the morning even more fun, why not make some special ice cream sundaes? Buy some Neapolitan ice cream, some real whipped cream, maraschino cherries and chocolate sauce, and arrange everything decoratively in some nice bowls. It might even be nice to buy some decorative wafers to make the sundaes even prettier.

Try an Ice Cream Alternative for Breakfast

However, for those who feel ice cream is a bit too high in fat or sugar for their family, don’t worry! There are plenty of alternatives, such as frozen yogurt, that many people enjoy making themselves and garnishing with fresh fruit.

This option will provide a family with the protein little bodies need to grow, as well as the kind of “good bacteria” the human bodies need in order for the digestive system to function properly. These bacteria are so good for the body, in fact, that they are often called “probiotics”, a word that literally means “for life”.

Try Making Ice Cream at Home

Of course, if ice cream is going to be used to eat for breakfast, then this project will need to be accomplished a day or two in advance! It’s a fun project for the family to make ice cream, and the results can be absolutely delicious. Plus, it might be a bit healthier too, since the list of ingredients is simple and includes no preservatives or artificial ingredients.

Ice cream recipes can vary wildly, but some of the best are super simple. Usually the list of ingredients will include heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, salt and a choice of flavoring. This is a fun time to get creative with flavors, whether sweet or savory, fruity or filled with chocolate.

Learn Fun Facts About Ice Cream

While enjoying the delicious flavors of Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, try out these ideas for trivia and facts that can help inspire interesting conversation:

The world record for the largest ice cream cone ever made was achieved in 2015 in Norway with a cone over three meters high. While it usually takes a whole 50 licks to get through one normal scoop of ice cream, this one would obviously require a much greater effort!

Ice cream headaches or “brain freezes” are the result of the nerve endings in the roof of your mouth sending a message to your brain regarding the very quick loss of heat!

In the UK, an individual on an average consumes 7 liters of ice cream in one year. However, Finland is ahead of the UK where a person consumes 14 liters of ice cream every year on average. But the country with the highest per capita consumption of ice cream is New Zealand with a whopping 28 liters per person per year.

According to NASA, ice cream is one of the three foods astronauts miss the most when they go on space missions. This is, of course, no surprise as it’s certainly one of the best foods on earth. The other two foods most missed by astronauts are pizza and soda.

Test Out Unique Flavors of Ice Cream for Breakfast

Perhaps some folks might feel that the idea of ice cream for breakfast seems a bit boring because eating yummy ice cream is something they tend to do each and every day! In this case, there are still opportunities to make the day just a bit more special by trying out some unique and interesting flavors of this delightful and delicious treat.

Skip over the regular chocolate or vanilla and check out some of the more unusual flavors that are out there, including avocado, garlic, azuki bean, jalapeno, and pumpkin. Or, for those who still want to channel that breakfast feeling, why not try out a variety of cereals as toppings for a bowl of ice cream and see how they taste? Try out Froot Loops, Cocoa Pebbles, Cap’n Crunch, Lucky Charms or some other favorite version.

Whatever way is decided upon to celebrate Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, don’t forget to spend this morning just enjoying the little things in life and appreciating the occasional day to do things a little differently.

But isn’t this the wrong date!?

There are actually two holidays that are very similar in name but they were founded for very different reasons. Today is not to be confused with Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day which takes place on the 18th of February in honor of the bright soul that was Malia Grace who passed away fighting cancer. That day was set up to honor all the children who have or are battling childhood cancer.

A sweet union of two delicate layers, with frosty bliss in between, offering delightful respite on a warm day.

The cold twin bursts of chocolate with the soft hint of vanilla between, leading to a small explosion of flavor. A delight over a century old, and even more impressive is that it is still as liked today as it was back then. The very taste of delight for untold of summers, this is the celebration of National Ice Cream Sandwich Day!

Learn about National Ice Cream Sandwich Day

If you have never had an ice cream sandwich before, you are seriously missing out! This is one of the most delicious ice cream treats. It is simple to make, but it is extremely tasty. An ice cream sandwich is simply a frozen dessert that has two cookies, wafers, or biscuits, with ice cream in the middle. It combines two amazing things; ice creams and biscuits. What more could you really want? It is not hard to see why this dessert is so popular, and so it is only right that we have a day to honor this amazing treat, isn’t it?

You may be wondering where this amazing idea came from and how many people enjoy it! There are lots of great facts regarding ice cream sandwiches, so you can spend your day digging a little bit deeper into this popular treat and when it all started out. We know that there were ice cream sandwiches available for sale by street vendors in New York from the late 1800s, and so it is definitely a treat that has been enjoyed for quite some time now! We know this because the ice cream sandwich was cited in an article in the New York Mail and Express in 1899. It said the following:

There are ham sandwiches and salmon sandwiches and cheese sandwiches and several other kinds of sandwiches, but the latest is the ice-cream sandwich.

If you are a fan of the ice cream cookie sandwich, we have San Francisco to thank for this. When it comes to building a delicious ice cream sandwich, cookies have become a much-loved alternative to the standard chocolate wafer. It is believed that this creation was invented by an ice cream vendor in 1928 in San Francisco when he decided to use two oatmeal cookies instead of wafers. But wait, it gets even better, he even dipped it into chocolate before serving it! If you have never tried this type of ice cream sandwich before, why not give it a good in honor of National Ice Cream Sandwich Day? After all, everything tastes better when it has been covered in chocolate, right?

History of National Ice Cream Sandwich Day

Nobody quite knows where the day originated from, or even the definitive place the ice cream sandwich itself started. There are pictures from 1900 of people eating them after paying nothing more than a penny! These delights come in many forms, but originally it was some vanilla ice cream pressed between two thin graham crackers. The current form of the ice cream sandwich is a soft chocolate wafer bracketing some vanilla ice cream. But no matter the origins, the ice cream sandwich has been a staple of summertime enjoyment for many a year. Sticky fingers and a mouth surrounded by white cream is the hallmark of many a child ‘s enjoyment, wanting another in the soft heat of summer. The mere memory of these treats seem to bring memories of summers past to mind, and the utter amazement every time we bit into one of these sandwiches of ice cream.

How to celebrate National Ice Cream Sandwich Day

Well, the obvious thing would be to go get an ice cream sandwich, and enjoy it sitting down like the child we all used to be. Maybe run around a little bit, laugh loudly and ask for a second one! Maybe instead of the soft chocolate wafer, you try it as they originally made it, or maybe sandwich that luscious vanilla ice cream between two cookies. Maybe add some chocolate chips around the edge, or even try chocolate ice cream between vanilla wafers. Experiment with different things, as you never know what combination that forms your ice cream sandwich will become your new favorite.

Or maybe you could introduce someone else to an ice cream sandwich. Sharing the delightfully sweet treat with someone who has never had one might just bring a smile to your face, seeing the wonder and awe on theirs. Or even showing them what an original ice cream sandwich is. Maybe the confectionery delights that are all over, like the aforementioned chocolate chip cookies sandwiching the vanilla. In any case, enjoy the soft sweetness, and avoid that all to common mistake of eating it all so fast you end up with a brain freeze!

The good thing about making an ice cream sandwich is that it can be as straightforward or as difficult as you want it to be. If you are looking for something simple, all you need to do is purchase your favorite flavor of ice cream and your favorite biscuits. All you need to do is scoop out some ice cream and place it in between the two biscuits, and then you can enjoy. Easy and super tasty, right? However, if you are someone who likes a challenge and you want to have some fun in the kitchen, you can try making your own biscuits and your own ice cream! If you go down this route, don’t forget to post some photos on your social media so that you can show everyone your impressive creations.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches

[only-mildly-evil]

why is oat milk the default plant-based milk when coconut milk is right. there. like sure it has a noticeable flavour that will inevitably clash with some dishes and won't go with everything but so does oat milk! it tastes like fucking uncooked bread dough! it's not good! coconut milk is super creamy and delicious and it's been an important element in the cuisines of many cultures for thousands of years! if it turns out the harvesting of most commercially available coconut milk is extremely unethical then i'll take back my statement but WHY is every vegan and lactose intolerant person not currently asking for coconut milk in their iced coffees and baking with coconut milk and making whipped coconut cream???? why are you all horses all of a sudden?????

you consider yourself pretty lucky with your pregnancy when it comes to cravings. you've heard stories from your friends about their absurd food and drink cravings they experienced while they were pregnant. things like peanut butter slathered pickles, baby food, ketchup and bologna sandwiches—one of your friends even couldn’t stop sniffing gasoline.

but you? all you want it's ice cream. any flavour of ben & jerrys ice cream was all you craved. morning and night, after every meal, and anywhere you went, you were ready for the sweet, milky treat. you honestly blame it on your health nut of a husband— he never buys ice cream because it's 'not good for you'— fucking whatever.

but when you got pregnant and started to having cravings, nathan made sure the freezer was always stocked with at least 10 individual tubs of ben & jerrys ice cream. he was really considerate about it too—giving you a variety of different flavours so it didn't matter if you wanted something fruity, chocolatey, or simply french vanilla because it was at your disposal. 

so yeah, you were really lucky when it came to cravings. ice cream is delicious and it will always be delicious. it's an easy craving to manage, and you don't get weird looks when you're out and about because you gnawing on a piece of raw coconut—you only get looks from nathan when you're sucking down your ice cream cone faster than anything he's ever seen.

but it's times like this, lying restlessly under the covers, leg half hung over your pregnancy pillow while the baby kicks at your ribs and rolls around in your uterus—begging for some damn ice cream. it's almost 4 in the morning, your alarm clock making sure you're well aware of the awkward time. it’s taunting you.

you're so warm and cosy in bed—and tired—you really don't want to go downstairs for a tub of ice cream right now, despite how badly you want to flavours to bless your tastebuds. plus you don't want to wake the dog up, who will inevitably beg to go to the bathroom…and then you have to wait 30 minutes while he tries to find a spot to pee.

you blink in surprise when nathan groans beside you, flipping onto his side, facing your direction. he's squinting tiredly, and you instantly know that your tossing woke him up. "what's wrong?" he questions lowly before you can apologize, his voice all gravelly and hot with sleep.

your core flutters pathetically at the sound of his deep voice—you're also insanely horny with this pregnancy, but that’s neither here nor there. you make a small noise that comes out like a whine, rolling off your back, baby protesting the entire flip over, and face your husband.

"I want ice cream," you mumble.

nathan sighs, "then go have some honey."

you whine again, louder this time like he's just asked you to go for a run instead of going downstairs—with his pregnant you are though, it’s practically the same thing. "I don't want to get out of bed," you tell him honestly, foot sliding under the covers and pushing between his calfs. "can you go get a tub for me?" you ask after a beat, eyes wide with hope.

"babe," nathan starts in disbelief, rubbing the sleep out of his right eye with the palm of his hand before continuing, "you can go get it. don't be silly."

your face falls, a white hot stick of anger poking at you. "i'm carrying your giant baby, the least you could do is get me some ice cream," you snap all to harshly, pushing up onto your elbow as you glare down at your husband. nathan's eyes widen in a mixture of humor and shock, looking at your angry contorted face. you sigh, "i'm sorry for yelling. can you please go get me a tub of half baked from the freezer? i'll love you forever."

"you're supposed to love me forever regardless," he grumbles lowly, already swinging his legs over the side of the bed, which gives you a nice view of his toned back.

you smile happily, falling back down to the pillows as nathan gets out of your shared bed. "thank you." you sing song, which only earns you a tired hum for a response as nathan steps out into the hall, door clicking closed quietly behind him.

it's only 5 minutes later when nathan is returning to the bedroom with your carton of ice cream. he already took the lid off and stuck your spoon in the middle—he even slipped the carton in a little cover so your hands wouldn't get cold while you’re enjoying it. you love him so much.

you gasp, sitting up in the bed and leaning back against the soft headboard. nathan passes off the ice cream to you, kissing the side of your head absentmindedly as you thank him again.

you scoop a pile onto the gold spoon and waste no time pushing it past your lips—the gooey brownie melting on your tongue with the chocolate and vanilla cream as you suck it off the spoon. you moan, "I can't tell if I love you or hate you right now."

the mattress dips as nathan slides back into bed, "why would you hate me?" he mumbles half heartedly, scooting right up beside you and your ginormous belly.

you spoon another mouthful, deliberately avoiding the biggest piece of cookie dough for your next bite,  "because it's your baby keeping me up," you say through the mouthful of melting ice cream.

he laughs quietly, palm resting flat over the largest point of your belly. "our baby," he corrects.

"same thing."

"well," nathan starts, leaning in and peppering your cheek with two lingering kisses while his hand rubs along your stretched skin rhythmically, "I certainly love you," he says against your sleep warm cheek.

you moan dismissively, carving out a chunk of cookie dough with the edge of your spoon.

"say it back."

"no," you breathe.

"y/n."

you crack, cold lips turning up in a lopsided smile while your spoon drags across the surface of your delicious ice cream. your wide eyes flicker towards your husband, "kidding," you chime, "love you."

nathan snorts, "that's what I thought."
