Create Your Own Babcock Flavor

Participants at Grandparents University made their very own Babcock Ice Cream! The flavors ranged from strawberry with chocolate chips to papaya and habanero. Each pair named their new creation and took two pints home to share.  

We wanted to know what creative ice cream flavors our Facebook community would develop if they majored in dairy science at Grandparents University. We asked, "If you could invent a flavor of Babcock ice cream, what would it be, and what would you name it?"

Check out some of the creative concoctions!
