Chill Out in Style: Frozen Treats Made Better with Gourmet Candy

July 10, 2025 By The Chocolate Truffle

When summer heatwaves roll in, cool desserts become essential. But here at Chocolate Truffle, we believe frozen treats can be more than refreshing — they can be extraordinary. With a touch of gourmet chocolate, handcrafted truffles, and artisan confections, your milkshakes, sundaes, and even frozen bark can become truly unforgettable.

Here are four decadent, candy-inspired frozen treats to try this season — all made better with premium chocolate.

1. Peanut Butter Cup Milkshake

A creamy, dreamy classic — reimagined with real ingredients.

Blend rich vanilla bean ice cream with milk and a generous handful of our handcrafted dark chocolate peanut butter cups. For that signature Chocolate Truffle touch, drizzle chocolate ganache inside the glass and top with whipped cream, crushed peanut butter cup pieces, and a pinch of flaky sea salt.

This one’s nostalgic — but make it grown-up.This one’s nostalgic — but make it grown-up.

2. Gourmet Candy Explosion Sundae

A scoop of indulgence. A sprinkle of luxury.

This isn’t your average sundae. Start with small-batch gelato — vanilla, chocolate, or even espresso — and layer on toppings like:

  • Shaved dark chocolate
  • Crushed raspberry truffles
  • Mini sea salt caramels
  • Chocolate-covered espresso beans
  • Roasted chocolate nut clusters
  • Chocolate-dipped candied orange peel

Finish with a drizzle of warm ganache or caramel sauce and a touch of edible gold if you’re feeling fancy.

Perfect for impressing guests… or treating yourself on a Tuesday.

3. Artisan Frozen Chocolate Bark

Elegant, chilled, and packed with texture.

This bark lives in your freezer and brings a pop of gourmet flavor every time you break off a piece. Start with melted chocolate squares (your choice of dark, milk, or white) and layer in toppings like:

  • Almond toffee shards
  • Dried cherries or blueberries
  • Pistachios or Marcona almonds
  • Mini nougat cubes
  • Lavender sea salt

Freeze until firm, then crack into rustic pieces for an easy, no-bake dessert or midday treat.

Refreshing meets refined.

4. Sour Candy Slushie — With a Twist

Bright, bold, and surprisingly addictive.

Blend ice, lemon-lime soda, and a handful of our tangy sour belts or gourmet gummy slices. Add a splash of fruit syrup (we love passionfruit or blood orange) and garnish with a curled candy ribbon or a sliced chocolate-covered apricot.

Kids love it. Grown-ups can spike it.
