We couldn’t let National Ice Cream Day go by without sharing some of our favorite ways to elevate your next sundae with Frank Family dessert wines. Whether you fancy our luscious, spice and honey layered Late Harvest Chardonnay or prefer our richly decadent Zinfandel Port, both are cool with ice cream.
Just drizzle the wine directly over a scoop of vanilla ice cream and let it inspire your toppings. The lush mouthfeel and sweetness of both wines pair nicely with the creamy texture of ice cream. Vanilla is a classic flavor that will provide a blank canvas to let the wine shine, but have fun exploring other flavors as well like chocolate, almond, or mango sorbet.
Zinfandel Port Suggested Toppings
- Port soaked golden raisins – soak overnight for an added touch of luxury
- Brownie – serve whole as the sundae base or crumble on top for a whimsical presentation
- Chocolate – opt for mini chips or shave dark chocolate to make it even more indulgent
- Berries – fresh red, black, or blue berries will beautifully complement the concentrated fruit notes of the wine
- Hazelnuts – toast them up and sprinkle on top to beautifully enhance the nuttiness of the wine
Late Harvest Chardonnay Suggested Toppings
- Nuts – chop and toast pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts to bring out the nutty character of the wine
- Caramel popcorn – adds a great texture while mirroring flavors of the wine
- Rolled wafer cookie or pizzelle – adds height, crunch, and makes for an elegant garnish
- Mint – brings a touch of freshness to a decadent and delicious dessert
