Whew! We hope everyone was able to dig out from under this snow storm and enjoy a day indoors yesterday. All of Lancaster County is blanketed in about eight inches of snow and it looks beautiful!
In other news, our Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest has ended and the winner is… Jessie G. of Falmouth, Maine!
Jessie’s Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream Torte (recipe here) battled Patti’s Decadent Dutch Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie (recipe here) for most of the contest, but came out on top. Rounding out the other contestants was Stefanie’s Ginger Snap and Pumpkin Cookie Sandwiches (recipe here) and Paula’s Ginger Snap Apple Pecan Pie Parfait (recipe here). For her victory, Jessie will receive a year’s supply of Turkey Hill ice cream and the others will get a one-month supply. Congrats!
TODAY’S PRIZE: How cute is this little guy?! He’s an ice cream robot made by an Etsy storeowner called Bolts & Bots. Bolts & Bots makes all sorts of adorable little things, each standing only about an inch tall, including a zombie bot, a bad day bot, and a surfer bot. One comment chosen at random from all the comments left on this entry will receive this prize.

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.
Hope I win
Congrats to Jessica!
Congratlations to Jessie and all of the contestants!!

Congrats to Jessie!
Sounds yummy.
What a cute robot. Congrats to the winner. As the winner of last years recipe contest, I certainly know you will enjoy that delicious ice cream! Yummy!!
Very cute widdle bot!
Congrats on your very nice win Jessica!
Digging out at the Jersey shore from under 1′+ of snow. Didn’t stop me from eating my nightly serving of Turkey Hill last night – just might need 2 servings today for extra stamina! Winning recipe sounds fabulous – congratualtions to all finalists!
Far out.
congratulations, but in my thoughts, the winner should have been one with Ginger Snap, since I think thats the one you said they should use !!!!!
wow is that cute my grand children would love him thanks for the contest
I was confused with the contest and I agree with Sheryl. I thought you were supposed to use Gingersnap ice cream in the recipe. It would have been a fairer contest if all the recipes were to use only one flavor. Anyway, congrats to the winner.
what a great prize today, my brothers grandson,(my great nephew ) will just love this and we can play with it as we eat our TH ice cream, which we eat together all the time, he is in the terrible two’s but he likes his TH ice cream and we play alot together.
i’m already in love with bolts and bots…i hope i win!
So cute!
Congrats to Jessica – the recipe sounded wonderful, but chocolate and peppermint go well together. The ice cream ‘bot is adorable and would be perfect to give to my sister for her store (ice cream, of course!).
What an adorable little bot
The bolt guys are unique. And congrads to the winners of the contest. This is great site for happiness, such as any ice cream treat of Turkey Hill, our fav by far…..Marilyn
He looks so happy! But of course – he has ice cream!!

Congrats Jessie!
Thank you for the contest it was fun and I am happy to have made it into 2nd place.

Congrats to Jesse, and I want to say every recipe sounded great so I will try everyone of them…..
Congrats to the winner! All recipes were winners! What a cute robot!
All the recipes sounded delicious. I did however vote for the winner.
Congrats to the winner.
Very cute prize.
I’m wondering why the little guy is so blue. Is it because he hasn’t had his Turkey Hill today?
Congrats Jessica and all the finalists
I still think that peanut butter pie looks amazing. Today’s prize is wicked cute. haha
I think the little bot is blue because he finished all his Turkey Hill ice cream last night and can’t get through the storm to get more!
Congratulation to the winner. My 82 yr. old brother would love having a robot like this, he like to do things. Linda
I thought it was an eraser at first.
Looks like he’s holding my favorite. Mint Chocolate Chip!
Very cute little guy.
mmmmmm. Yummy Antifreeze Icecream with chocolate dusted nails. Want a byte?
THAT IS SO CUTE!!!
I guess Vicki and I are mint lovers!
HOW CUTE!!!!!!
WELL BUST MY BOLTS, HE IS DARLING
ARE the two silly security words really necessary for everything.
Congradulations to the winner for her great recipe!
How cute! Even a robot loves ice cream.
Congratulations to Jessica and all the contestants. Merry Christmas. Love the lil bot (so would my grandson Matthew)
You don’t have to worry about yellow snow from this cute little guy.

Very cute. I can find a spot in my house for that little guy.
Thank you to all the kind folks who wrote nice notes to me and the other recipe creators. Patti,Paula,and Stefanie,I sure have enjoyed looking at these delicious pictures for the last week. As you can guess, my 2 daughters are quite thrilled about this (not sure who’s more excited, girls or my parents, who we get the ice cream lovin’ gene from…)Happy Holidays, everyone!
This guy would certainly live up my desk!
I love your ice cream!
congrats to the winners. i would like to take the cute little bot on vacation with me to a warm climate and maybe he wouldn’t be blue.
D’oh! When I first read about the Ice Cream Robot, I thought it was made out of ice cream. I started wondering where you could get silver ice cream, and then…I read the description again. Ooops. Cute robot though.
Lots of GREAT ice cream and recipes!
how sweet – I think that I oculd build one out of all the smow that we got!
All were great recipes!
Congratulations, Jessica. Her’s was my favorite! Getting ready for some TH ice cream!
Congrats Jessie on your win, I can’t wait to try the recipe myself. I would absolutely love to win this ice cream robot, it is so cute!
Your ice cream is THE BEST!!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! ANd don’t forget to add Turkey Hill to your shopping list!
Congrats! All the recipes looked delicious!
I love mint chocolate chip ice cream. The robot is really cool. Congrats to the winner, no losers when it comes to TH ice cream
Very adorable. Does it move or do anything besides looking cute, I wonder.
Well I am imagining that the “bot” is holding a Pistachio Ice Cream Cone w/ Jimmies….LOL
Boy do I hope that I win that great little “BOT”!!!!!
I love that bot!
He is sooooo cute! I would have to fight my grandkids to keep him!!
I liked the torte recipe from the start. It was a great combination of cake and ice cream and perfect for the holidays. Now with a year’s supply of Turkey Hill ice cream Jessie can keep her whole neighborhood supplied with her winning recipe.
All the recipes look wonderful!
Congrats to Jessie! I must admit that I voted for Patti’s Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie. It may not have had the festive look of the others but, it’s chocolate, and it’s ice cream, and it’s peanut butter, and…well I’m just going to have to try them all!
If programmable he will be marching off to the freezer for ice cream
Winter is finally here and it is going to be a white Christmas here in Southern Massachusetts! Yippee!
What a cute little guy!
how unique, an ice cream bot.
And great win Jessica, maybe the winner can send out samples to all of us.
Merry Christmas!!!!
What an adorable idea!! Very creative!!
Cute!
He is so adorable, I hope I win him. Merry Christmas everyone!
