Many consider the savory portion of the meal most memorable, but the real showstoppers shine when it comes time for dessert, like the holiday-themed desserts at Baskin-Robbins. The Ganache Poinsettia Cake and the Peppermint & Winter OREO®Cookies Polar Pizza were SO good!
Every year at my parent’s house, we celebrate Christmas a week early… but we have a fun tradition where we eat our dessert before dinner. So, we have dessert around 4:00, then open presents, then have dinner around 7:00. The kids don’t realize that they still eat the same amount for dinner (since they had a 3 hour break), but they do realize that it’s really fun and a great tradition.
This year, I was able to order the Baskin-Robbins’-Ganache Poinsettia Cake, for my sister-in-law, Jill. It is her favorite! We ordered her the Ganache Poinsettia Cake (an elegant & decadent 9” round ice cream cake with the simple sophistication of a poinsettia topped with Winter OREO®Cookies.) She likes mint ice cream and vanilla cake. I had never had it before, but she made a great choice. It was so good!
Here is a picture of it (I had them write Merry Christmas in green… Beau’s favorite color!):
Here’s a side view – see all of those cookies? 
And an even better view (this picture makes me hungry all over again!) 
I also ordered the Peppermint & Winter OREO® Cookies Polar Pizza, for the kids. Ethan LOVES pizza so much and since we were having Pork, sweet potatoes and vegetables for dinner, I knew he would be excited to have this kind of pizza first! It has a double fudge brownie crust with Peppermint ice cream, topped with Winter OREO® Cookie Pieces and drizzled with marshmallow and fudge topping.
The best part is that I was able to order the Baskin-Robbins’ Ganache Poinsettia Cake and Peppermint & Winter OREO® Cookies Polar Pizza for pre-order online (you can do this in the store, too), so I just picked it up when I was driving past the store (so convenient).
Of course, while we were there, we tried the Peppermint Bark in the Dark (it’s back as December Flavor of the Month.) We like it because it is peppermint bark and creamy Chocolate ice cream all wrapped together with a peppermint candy and white chocolate flavored ribbon.
All in all, it was a great meal and having dessert before dinner makes it memorable and fun for the kids!
