It’s time for us to announce the winner of our Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest (Chocolate Overload Edition), we’d like to thank, one more time, all the people who submitted recipes in this year’s contest. We honestly had a very difficult time choosing the four finalist recipes because every single submission was THAT good.
Have we stalled long enough for dramatic effect? Good. The winner of the 2011 Ultimate Holiday Recipe Contest (Chocolate Overload Edition) is…
Teressa C. of Dayton, NJ and her Fudge Merri-Mints ice cream sandwiches!
Congrats Teressa! Her Fudge Merri-Mints (recipe here and photo below) battled Hidemi’s Sweet Potato Ice Cream Chocolate Pie (recipe here), Connie’s Chocolate Strawberry Cherry Parfait (recipe here), and Mary’s Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Crepes (recipe here). Each finalist will receive a one month supply of Turkey Hill Ice Cream and, for her victory, Teressa gets a one year supply of Turkey Hill Ice Cream.

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.

Well Congrats Teressa! I was routing for you, and hope to be attempting your recipe on Christmas Eve with my grandchildren:)
They sound quite delicious and would be a winner in our family with the mint!

Congratulations on a tasty treat. I’m not sure I’ll be making it right now because all of the standard cookies, etc. are still waiting for their turn but after that….
Congrats Teressa, I will be trying this recipe….looks great!!
This recipe sounds divine. I can’t wait to make it. Chocolate,mint, and Turkey Hill ice cream. My 3 favorite things.
I would eat this chocolate overload except for the mint, I am not a mint eater, it was fun to see the great recipes, all were winners
Congrats Teressa….you had some tough competition! Truthfully I look forward to trying all the recipes.
mint is a favorite around- sounds delish- need to give this a try
I am looking forward to making these with the kids. It will be a new treat.
Thanks!
Congrats – we are looking forward to trying these over the holidays. It will be a new treat!
they do look delicious and i will be trying them in January when i will definitely need a sugar fix after all of the holiday treats have disappeared…
Hi and Merry Christmas to all… but let me tell you that the 12 days of Christmas is great BUT we have Turkey Hill ice cream the other 353 days of the year too!!!! It’s great and wouldn’t be without it.
Congrats Teressa. I voted for you, recipe easy to make and so delicious. I have made these in the past, just filled with any ice cream I had on hand, store bought cookies.
ALways have Turkey Hill icecream in my freezer. Grandkids love choc chip mint and cookie dough. ALways too many kinds to get for the holiday. Love the products –Phila style vanilla–yummy
Congratulations Teressa. Your fudge merri-mints sound yummy to me and I’ll probably try them sometime soon because we’re a mint loving bunch!
congrats to all the finalists
Any recipe that has ice cream in it is enough to make my family merry, but when you add fudge you’re talking serious bliss. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Carol R
Congratulations Theresa, sounds absolutely yummy, I will try it.
Sounds delicious! Turkey Hill ice cream and recipes just may become my new holiday tradition!
Congrats
looking forward to trying all these great recipes! Love ~~Turkey Hill Dairy ~~
Anything with MINT is a winner in this house!!!
What a lifesaver Turkey Hill Egg Nog is!! I normally have my morning coffee with light cream or half and half. A few weeks ago I ran out – but I DID have Turnkey Hill Egg Nog in my refrigerator. Can I tell you how delicious it is in your coffee?
Just the right amount of flavor. I LOVE this time of year!!!!
We love our Turkey Hill Mint Choc Chip all year long!!
Congratulations!! anything with mint and chocolate is always a winner!!
Congratulations. Don’t know if I’ll try to make this recipe, but I love chocolate ice cream.
Not a fan of Egg Nog, but the Crispy Egg Nog Crunch recipe looks awesome….going to give that a try this weekend!
Congratulations to all the finalists!
Choc-Mint is my favorite
Congratulations Tee!
I am ready to make and enjoy the recipe. I’m sure that it will be a hit with every member of the family!
I sure would’ve had a hard tome picking a winner from these delicious sounding recipes! However, being the “sweet potatoe momma” I am, I would’ve dug into that recipe..without a wisp of doubt! Congratulations Terresa on your magnificant minty masterPiece!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!
now i am going to have to put that on my list of things to make for christmas!
Congrats! I’m still wondering – just how much ice cream is a year’s supply?
Teressa’s Fudge Merri-Mints ice cream sandwiches look good. I guess I’ll have to try making them one of these days. The link to her recipe above is not working though!
This winning entry looks like an ice cream version of smores. If you like smores you’ll enjoy Teressa’s recipe even more.
It looks and sounds delicious! I’m going to try to make it someday in the upcoming weeks!
Theresa,
Great job! These look great. I am going to have to try these.
my 2-year old nephew tried icecream (Turkey Hill vanilla) for the first time. His expression exuded pure joy as he softly and slowly whispered Dddddlishus. It must be genetic.
Yumm looks so delicious hehe!!!
oh yes, I’ll be trying it!
chocolate and mint combination sounds like a winner as some of our family loves mint. the other recipes sound great too.
Wow! I love chocolate and mint. No wonder this recipe won!
Yes, my son is making the trek from NY–so we may have to make it for him. He and I love chocolate and mint.
Just thought you should know my six year old triplets won’t eat anything but Turkey Hill. We usually stock up when they are on sale. They love chocolate anything but mint.
Sounds great! Would like to try the sweet potato one as well.
Love the Mint Chocolate Chip
This recipe sounds fantastic. Thanks for the instructions. Would be a great anytime treat.
I bet they taste even better than they look! <3 I love Turkey Hill ice cream! <3
I’m still trying to find a combo of vanilla ice cream with a ribbon of raspberry through it.
Congrats, Teressa! They look like they’re delicious!!
Congrats! Sounds delicious! I am not good @ baking anymore. I leave that to my daughter & grand-daughters. I will pass it on. Although a day without Turkey Hill ice cream is like a day without sunshine to me! It is a bedtime ritual!
da liciouso!
Sounds good
Congrats, Teressa! Chocolate and mint together is always a winning combination! I will have to try making it sometime soon. Maybe for New Years!
Congratulations, Teressa…they look delicious. I look forward to trying these and several of the other recipes shared. Happy Holidays!
Turkey Hill Ice Cream is the #1 ice cream! I love all the flavors!
I have waited for years for a Turkey Hill (ice cream)sandwich and have not seen one. I suggest that you begin to produce the TURKEY (HILL) SANDWICH available wherever the larger Turkey Hill ice cream products are sold. Two packs offered for about one dollar would be a great summer time treat and a cool winter reminder of a great summer,
I will definitely be trying this recipe congrats on winning
They look delicious! Congrats!
Congratulations Teressa and all the other finalists. Mint is always a hit in our home. Your winning entry sure sounds tastey!
Congrats Teressa. Sounds yummy. Will have to try it after the holidays. Too many cookies, cakes and Turkey Hill right now. In January, we will need some desserts.
Congrats to the other finalists. Your recipes sounded great too.
Sure does sound delicious I love mint in cookies and candy I am sure this will be a hit at our dinner table or for a snack. Can’t wait to try some.
you betcha I’m making this recipe! YUM!!!
OMG !!! What could be a better holiday recipe than this one Can’t wait to try it & then devour it!!!
I will make some for the kids, and the parents as well. They look great.
It seems the actual recipe links are all broken! The name of each sound interesting, though.
I love chocolate ice cream so i will make this yum
Congratulations Teressa. I can only imagine what fun it was to judge this contest.
Looks good, but I’m a purist. I’ll take my Turkey Hill straight from the container!
I’m in!
What a great recipe! Congrats to the winner!!
They all sound yummy!

THANKS TERESSA FOR THIS RECIPE. I AM GOING TO A CHRISTMAS PARADE PARTY THIS WEEKEND AND IT WILL BE PERFECT TO TAKE ALONG. CONGRATULATIONS.
Mint and Christmas..you bet I will make this!
It looks good, but I prefer my ice creram untouched by lesser treats. I will try them just for fun, but will ultimately separate the cookies from the ice cream and eat them individually.
This looks interesting and i will giv it a go
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Looks and sounds great! I’m upping the ante by adding Bavarian Espresso to this dessert!
I have been trying to get the recipes, but the links keep taking me to a dead link
The only problem with all these recipes is that my pants will no longer fit when I am done. But I have to test them out. If I don’t, who will. The pioneers take the arrows I guess.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL YOU WINNERS.
Congratulations to you! It looks delicious!
This recipe will be used on CHRISTmas eve!
Your eggnog is simply the best. I have yet to find the eggnog ice cream, can’t wait!!!
