3 Lighter Ice Cream Topping Ideas using Open Nature® “Scandal-Less” Light Ice Cream, available at Jewel-Osco stores.
Is there anything better than a bowl of ice cream on a hot summer day? Or, any day for that matter?!
When I heard Jewel-Osco was releasing a new line of Open Nature lighter ice cream pints, I practically ran to my local store. These beauties have between 60-80% less fat than regular ice cream, 40-50% less calories than regular ice cream, and are only between 240 and 370 calories per pint!
When I was younger, I have so many memories of my dad walking with my sisters and I to the local ice cream store to get ice cream at least once per week.
When I got a bit older, my ice cream obsession turned into an obsession with the frozen yogurt store on my college campus. Of course, I always went a little overboard with the toppings.
Now, I love getting creative with my own ice cream toppings at home to save money and create a bit lighter versions of my favorite combinations.
These three ice cream topping ideas are three of my go-to desserts when I want something truly indulgent.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Ice cream uses sautéed fruit instead of jelly! Sautéing your own fruit creates a jelly substitute with a fraction of the sugar. Sometimes, I don’t even sweeten it at all.
The combination of creamy vanilla bean ice cream, strawberries and peanut butter reminds me of one of my childhood favorite treats.
Blueberry Almond Ice Cream – I love a good crunch in my ice cream! Adding sliced almonds and any fresh fruit takes vanilla ice cream to the next level.
Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Ice Cream – Oh baby, this one has all of my favorite things: peanut butter cup ice cream, fresh banana, and chocolate chips. YUM!
I find Open Nature products in my area at my local Jewel-Osco store, and you can also find them exclusively at all of the Albertsons Companies family of stores, including Albertsons, Safeway, ACME Markets, Vons, Pavilions, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Shaw’s, Star Market, and Carrs/Safeway. Check out Jewel-Osco.com for recipes and more!
Take your ice cream game to the next level next time you’re entertaining, or simply enjoying an indulgent treat at home. I hope you love these lighter ice cream topping ideas as much as I do.
