Let's stir things up for Halloween!

Have you thought about what you'll be serving at your Halloween party? Or about something fun to do with your family and friends?

We have! And indeed it was fun mixing the Pino Gelato
GraveYard Punch with Drifting Mist:

Recipe

Ingredients:

2 two-liter bottles of lemon-lime soda


1 cup chocolate syrup


1 quart of chocolate Pino Gelato

Dry Ice

Most grocery stores will have dry ice. It’s popular at Halloween so you may want to try and reserve some. Pick it up just before your event and keep it in a cooler.

Be very careful when handling dry ice!

Always wear heavy-duty gloves, as dry ice is much colder than regular ice and freezes your skin in seconds. Unless you can obtain “food grade” dry ice, it is not safe to ingest or put directly into beverages.  

Always keep it safely away from children and in an area that is well ventilated. Inhaling large amounts can make you feel ill. 

Directions:

Put ½ cup chocolate syrup in bottom of a punch bowl.

Add large scoops of Gelato over the syrup then pour rest of syrup over the top of the ice cream. Slowly pour chilled lemon-lime soda over the gelato.

With a long spoon, stir the syrup up from the bottom.

Add more lemon-lime soda until bubbles form on top. 

Presentation:

To give your punch that graveyard effect, you’ll need two punch bowls: one larger than the other.  Mix the Halloween punch recipe in the smaller bowl.

Add a few dry ice chunks to the larger container and place the bowl filled with punch on top of the ice in larger bowl.  

Just before serving your ghoulish guests, pour a little hot water on the dry ice until it starts misting the desired amount.  For the maximum amount of spooky mist, make sure your punch is at room temperature.  

You do not need to add regular ice to your punch either. The dry ice will make it cold.

 Our kitchen turned into a lab as we experimented with gelato, soda, and dry ice for the best Halloween look!

 

Hope you have as much fun as we did!

Happy Halloween!
