Watching leaves falling off the trees in the country this past weekend. Wow. Where for art thou summer?
I call this a seasonal bridge ice cream. Something to make with the last juicy peaches of the summer adding a hint of fall spice.
The sweetness of the peaches, flavor deepened by brown sugar paired perfectly with the allspice caramel finish. The last glimpse of summer with the spicy warm promise of fall.

Seriously that icecream looks awesome. I want to have the scoop with all the caramel swirl.
Bridge ice cream?! What's funny is that I had this tab opened and starting to read it, not really noticing which blog it was, and I thought, "Bridge ice cream?! Is this person German?" 🙂 Maybe you're not German, but at least you have that connection. Do we use bridge like that in English? The things I forget being over here…
Anyway, this is GENIUS! Combining the end of summer and the fall. It sounds so good!
yes.yes.yes.
This is more my speed. I'm going to have to hunt down more peaches. Just used mine up on peach salsa and peach chutney.
That is insanely delicious. I need this in my life. As soon as I get the last of the peaches, it's on!
Transition ice cream…I love it! I'll take any excuse to eat ice cream…especially one as delicious as this!
Perfect ice cream treat to bid farewell to summer with the last of the good peaches and to welcome Fall with the allspice caramel swirl.
