5 Cozy Ways to Enjoy Ice Cream

As we get into fall, cold weather doesn’t have to mean the end of ice cream season. There’s something extra satisfying about enjoying a frozen treat when the air is crisp. Whether you pair a scoop with something warm or cozy up indoors with your favorite flavors, ice cream can be just as comforting in autumn as it is in summer.

1. Have an Affogato

At our Rittenhouse shop, we pour hot espresso right over your ice cream to order. The hot coffee creates a nice contrast with the cold ice cream, and you get both your caffeine fix and dessert in one cup. It's simple but feels fancy.

2. Drizzle Our Hot Fudge

We make our fudge (aka liquid gold) from scratch in our North Philadelphia kitchen, and it's worth the trip alone. The warm chocolate sauce creates little warm spots that balance out the cold, making it perfect for chilly evenings when you want something comforting.

3. Try our Hot Caramel

At Rittenhouse, we have cookies and brownies that pair perfectly with our ice cream. The warmth from the baked goods makes the ice cream more comfortable to eat when it's cold outside, plus you get that perfect hot-and-cold combination.

4. Pair Your Scoop With a Baked Good

At Rittenhouse, we have cookies and brownies that pair perfectly with our ice cream. The warmth from the baked goods makes the ice cream more comfortable to eat when it's cold outside, plus you get that perfect hot-and-cold combination.

5. Stick with a Simple Scoop in Our Cones

Sometimes the straightforward approach works best. Our house-made waffle cones have just a hint of cinnamon, making them perfect for fall flavors like pumpkin cheesecake or spiced apple bread pudding. A scoop in one of our cones is still delicious whether it's 80 degrees or 30 degrees.

The Real Scoop

Ice cream tastes good year-round. Cold weather just gives you more excuses to pair it with warm things or enjoy it as a cozy indoor treat. So next time it's chilly, don't let that stop you from stopping by.
