What are the essential components of an awarding winning Oscar party? Film, Friends and Food of course!
Popcorn, chips and dips, cheese and crackers and any tasty finger foods usually top the bill. But here's a fun new idea for your consideration.... ICE CREAM.
Either make these up in advance, freeze and serve. Or set up an ice cream bar with recipe cards for a few of these movie themed ice cream superstars.
Life of Pi - Chocolate ice cream, OREO cookie pieces and orange Gummi Bears. You can also call this one the ‘Richard Parker.’
Amour – The universal language. Strawberry Passion ice cream cake with layers of moist yellow cake, Strawberry ice cream, a graham cracker pie crust and strawberry puree, all wrapped in a creamy strawberry frosting… because nothing heals hea
rtache like ice cream.
Lincoln – Strawberry ice cream, blueberries and whipped topping—an appropriate red, white and blue Creation to honour an American legend.
Silver Linings Playbook – Mint ice cream, chocolate chips and fudge, the unofficial sweet treat of The Eagles football team.
Zero Dark Thirty – Layers of moist devil’s food cake and Chocolate ice cream topped with a rich fudge ganache. Rich and decadent...perfect for a swanky awards night!
Beasts of the Southern Wild – Step out of the world’s harsh realities and take a moment to dream with an Oh So Dreamy ice cream bar.
Argo – How about a red and white ice cream cake to celebrate the Canadian Embassy’s contribution to this declassified true story? Cake Batter Confetti is made of layers of moist devil’s food cake and Cake Batter ice cream, wrapped in creamy white frosting and topped off with delicious sprinkles.
Les Miserables – French Vanilla ice cream, strawberries and yellow cake. A quick, easy and delicious version of a tradition French Crepe. Moral of the story: Don’t try to take it without paying!
Django Unchained – If Django and Dr. Schultz are going to remain focused on finding Broomhilda, they’re going to need a snack that will put an extra kick in their step. Tim Hortons’ Double Double Coffee ice cream for a dollop of energy, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for a pinch of protein and topped off with a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings.
Here's hoping your favourite flick doesn't get iced this year. But as long as you have ice cream, does it really matter?
