Create a Polar Sundae Recipe

Since frozen yogurt is one of my favorite treats, I decided to ask the owner at my favorite TCBY store if we could create a Polar Sundae Recipe. I’m thrilled to announce the answer was – YES! And, not only did this store say yes – but six local TCBY Franchises decided to team up as well.

But here’s the best part – you get to create the Polar Sundae Recipe!

So, when you think of the Arctic or Antarctic – what comes to mind? Snow? Ice? Wind? Below 0º Temperatures? Penguins? Polar Bears? Walrus? Seals? Whales? Oh My!

Your challenge is to create a recipe of what you think a Polar Sundae might taste like – using the ingredients below. Be creative because points will be awarded and throughout the summer. Prizes will be awarded each month and a Grand Prize will be awarded at the end of the summer.
