Nothing beats a home made ice cream sundae, does it?
As Turkey Hill expands into new states to the west and south, we find ourselves being invited to show off our goods on morning TV news shows. This Sunday, a member of the Turkey Hill team will be in Detroit for a morning segment on the local FOX affiliate. He’ll be leading a demonstration on the air about fun ice cream sundae recipes…made with Turkey Hill ice cream, of course.
Below are some of the recipes he’ll be using during the four minute demonstration. The last one (the Motor City Sundae) is one we made up just for this appearance. If anyone makes any of these recipes at home, let us know how they turn out!
PEACHES AND CREAM SUNDAE
INGREDIENTS:
Turkey Hill Vanilla Ice Cream
4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 passion fruit (cut in half crosswise)
1 cup raspberries
DIRECTIONS:
Combine peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl; toss gently. Cut passion fruit in half crosswise, squeeze juice over peach mixture and fold in raspberries. To serve, spoon ice cream into sundae cups and top with fruit mixture.
TURKEY HILL TWINKIE SPLIT
INGREDIENTS:
Turkey Hill Ice Cream (two different flavors)
1 box Twinkies
Whipped cream
1 jar maple walnut sundae topping
Chocolate syrup
Chopped walnuts
Cherry
DIRECTIONS:
Split Twinkie in half lengthwise and lay it on a dessert plate. Add two scoops of Turkey Hill Ice Cream (your choice of flavors) on top of split Twinkie, then top with whipped cream on each mound. To top off the sundae, drizzle chocolate syrup and maple walnut sundae topping, sprinkle with chopped walnuts and top with a cherry.
MOTOR CITY SUNDAE
INGREDIENTS:
Turkey Hill Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream
Chocolate covered pretzel wheels (pre-made)
Graham crackers (the “chassis”)
Chocolate syrup (“motor oil”)
Chopped nuts and chocolate chips (“nuts and bolts”)
Whipped cream
Cherry
DIRECTIONS:
To make the chocolate pretzel wheels, melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Dip the pretzel wheels in chocolate and lay on waxed paper. Chill or freeze until set.
To make the sundae, place four small scoops of chocolate ice cream on a dessert plate and press one pretzel wheel into the side of each scoop. Place the graham cracker on top, with the ice cream scoops simulating wheels. Place one large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the graham cracker. Top with chocolate syrup, chopped nuts and chocolate chips. Add whip cream and a cherry if desired.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
My favorite recipe is any flavor icecream topped with Cherrios or Rice Crispies. The best topping was Post Alphabets til they discontinued them.
We love anything that has peaches in it. We also like homemade peach ice cream, so when we can not make any peaches and cream sundays will hit the spot. Thanks for the ideas on new recipes.
My favorite is still a scoop of TH mint chocolate chip ice cream on a big brownie square, topped with hot fudge sauce.
I was always worried that making recipes that involved ice cream would only lead to the ice cream melting and making a mess of the dessert and making it look entirely un-appetizing…but I did try the “Motor-City Sundae” recipe and my guests gobbled it up soooo fast because it was delicious that it didn’t even have time to melt at all. It was a success!
These sundaes sound so good! I wish you could bring the great taste of Turkey Hill (and these sundaes) to Las Vegas.
I am going to try all those sundaes they sound sooooo good!!!!!!
I wish you would bring back the Turkey Hill plastic containers that we used to get ice cream in. I have been using mine over and over again. Currently I make homemade applesauce and these containers work great.Thanks T.H. for great ice cream.
We love Turkey Hill!
I live in the northeast, so I doubt I’ll be able to get that show. I will try though. That peach sundae sounds delious. Our peaches are just coming in here, so I’ll definitely try it. Peg
I will definately try your recipes. Thank you so much. Twinkies are my favorite since I was a little girl. I haven’t had one in a long time, so here’s my excuse to buy them. My grandkids will enjoy this also. Thank you again!
Those sound really good, especially the twinkie one. I’m going to try and make a tiramisu one this summer. My husband I both love eating tiramisu, but it can be a bit time consuming to put it all together. Maybe the ice cream version will be easier and last a bit longer!
Am I the only one who doesn’t know what a tiramisu is?
I don’t really have time to make sundaes. I’m too busy eating my Turkey Hill from the carton!
I hope everyone like my husband and myself have enjoyed ice cream every day in National Ice Cream month. Must go and get today’s serving. Will enjoy making the sundaes.
Good grief! Is 10:47 AM too early to have a sundae?!? My coffee just isn’t cutting it, and after ready those yummy sundae ideas, that’s all I can think about!
A major improvement to your Detroit Peach Sundae idea: Instead of TH Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (which I love), substitute TH Peach Ice Cream (which I love even more).r
Think I’m behind on this, but keep Turkey Hill creating. I love it.
