Plain, sweet and simple! I guess , like me 😆

we ordered at a restaurant people in Ottawa used to go to back in the day. It was a scoop of vanilla ice cream rolled in chocolate sprinkles. Two milk chocolate wafers made the ears. Whipped cream with a cherry on top. A nose and eyes made somehow - I can't remember. We all ordered it every time we went. Including my dad. He said he used to order it when he grandfather took him to the restaurant but the timing doesn't line up for that. Anyway, we ate that sunday for two generations.

I would like any topping because I LOVE Ice Cream. If it was going to be my favorite it would be just a wonderful scoop of my favorite vanilla ice cream. Eating some right now, no topping, mmmmmm.

Was yours refreshing as well? Just such a wonderful treat in this awful weather.

Decided it could wait until the weekend.
Blame this thread😀

A po pyu kalay, or maybe a lemon zest mango, or orange sherbet mango. Or imam pasand. Or kook lom krong, or sweet tart. I still have Valencia Pride, cac, and mallika ripening in my garden and any of them would do. And a side dish of vanilla ice cream with sapodillas, probably morena. The vanilla ice cream won't be made from my vanilla beans though. They grow like weeds here but the flowers need hand pollination early in the morning and the beans need an extensive curing process.

Maybe add a little caramel too.

I'll have a scoop of vanilla ice cream side-by-side a second scoop

Some might say: "two scoops please" (thanks Joe)

Again, toppings not necessary

Gotta be Chocolate ice cream for me!
Chocolate syrup. As much as I love hot fudge; it melts the ice cream too fast for me. Whipped cream. Chopped walnuts. Bittersweet chocolate chips.

My spoon is ready! 🥄 😄

Now 'm going have to find a place to get a good one at sone point. Been decades! Used to know a few.

5:56AM
Omg, I should be sleeping! I found a whole bunch of places in Manhattan! Will have to continue to look at the rest later today.

vanilla bean ice cream, equal hot fudge & carmel sauces, topped with pecans, and maybe a puff of whipped cream with a cherry~

Extra hot fudge that is.

The local mall was quite close to our house as a kid, it was only 2 streets away.

There was an Eckerd Drug Store there with a soda bar and balloons hanging from strings all around the bar. Each balloon had a dollar amount or FREE on a piece of paper inside, pop the balloon and see what you got.

It was always either half price or free.

2 scoops Vanilla, hot fudge, nuts, cherry on each scoop and a soda.

Halfway through I would scoop some vanilla ice cream into the soda…

Yum

Thank you for sharing your memories with us.

Your choice would be mine, too, but I'll pick something different.

First, it'll be a banana split. Add one scoop of mint chocolate chip and one scoop of cookie dough ice cream. Chocolate sauce over the ice cream then almond slivers before topping it with whipped cream and two cherries.A chocolate pirouette cookie on the side as a garnish.

I rarely eat ice cream but a boy can dream...

Coffee Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz, Hot fudge and marshmallow. (S.O.)

and for myself:

Vanilla, Triple-Berry Tripolitan (Black Raspberry Strawberry and Blueberry
a full banana, & cold chocolate sauce.

Vanilla ice cream, Hershey's chocolate syrup, and Spanish peanuts on top. Perfect mixture of salty and sweet, even before it was a thing.

I would change to COFFEE ice cream and toasted almonds

One scoop coffee ice cream at the bottom, middle scoop coconut ice cream, top scoop coffee ice cream , chopped walnuts, grated coconut and butterscotch sauce.
