The best summer memories are simple. They’re moments filled with family, fun and laughter. Swinging on a swing with the warm summer breeze blowing through your hair, gazing up at a twinkling star studded sky in the evenings and enjoying your favorite bowl of ice cream for dessert with your loved ones are what makes summer really special. For a real treat, our family is making Roasted White Peaches with Honeycomb and Vanilla Ice Cream to celebrate Breyers 150th Birthday!
Because there’s always room for ice cream, Breyers is celebrating its 150th birthday this year and has partnered with celebrity chef Curtis Stone and his wife, actress Lindsay Price Stone, to create 12 delicious recipes featuring Breyers Natural Vanilla. How fun!
All of the tasty recipes are inspired by every month of the year to give families a way to celebrate birthdays and special occasions with Breyers all year long! Yum! Breyers Natural Vanilla is made with fresh cream, milk and sugar and is the perfect ice cream to pair with freshly picked and roasted peaches (one of my favorite flavor combinations) this summer!
You can always feel good about serving your family Breyers because they are committed to using high quality ingredients in their recipe. It’s a promise that has been on Breyers packages for over 100 years. A dessert that includes America’s #1 vanilla ice cream and one that the whole family can easily make together is always extra special!
All Breyers vanilla is real and from sustainably farmed, Rainforest Alliance Certified™ vanilla beans. Breyers only sources milk and cream from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones.*

I love the smell of fresh lemon, don’t you? We’re going to add this to the sugar before sprinkling it on top of the peaches before roasting.
After halving, pitting and arranging your fresh peaches in a baking dish, let your children help sprinkle the lemon sugar on top, then roast them in the oven for 30 minutes.
This makes your whole house smell wonderful too! For this recipe, you’ll also get to make your own honeycomb. Have you ever made honeycomb before? It’s really easy, and oh so good!
Simply bring your honey, sugar and water to a boil, then cook the mixture for 5 minutes over medium-high heat until a candy thermometer reaches 305 degrees. Remove from the heat, whisk in baking soda, then pour the hot mixture onto a lightly greased baking sheet and let cool. You can then break your honeycomb into pieces. This part can also be prepared ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
When it’s time to assemble your sundaes, make sure you drizzle a little of the flavorful pretty pink peach juice into each bowl.
Your little kitchen helpers will be more than willing to help you scoop Breyers Natural Vanilla Ice Cream on top. Those warm peaches and it’s juices along with creamy ice cream, garnished with honeycomb make for a beautiful summertime dessert. Happy Birthday Breyers!
