Italian-Style Ice Cream Sandwich Party—Easy Summer Party Theme Idea!
I'm so excited to finally share the summer party series I created for Refinery29 with you! July 4th may be over but there's still so much to celebrate—click through all 6 summer party themes over on Refinery29's website.
Just because I love these ideas so much, I'm going to blow out each one a little further here on Food and Femininity! Let's start with the Italian Ice Cream Sandwich Party: Anyone can throw an ice cream social but a few tweaks—like using high quality gelato, brioche rolls, almond cookies and homemade dark chocolate sauce—makes this party a little more sexy and sophisticated. You can find my dark chocolate sauce recipe on Refinery29's site but here are some other things you might want to include...
Go to a local Italian bakery or look online for delicious cookie alternative, like the items above: Pizzelle (Italian waffle cookies), Amaretti (almond cookies), Pignoli (pine nut cookies), miniature brioche buns or cornettos (think Italian croissants)!
