Beignets & Ice Cream: The Ultimate NOLA Mashup

Few things say “New Orleans” quite like a warm, powdery beignet. Add a scoop of small-batch, naturally crafted ice cream, and you've got a mashup worthy of a second line parade.

At Quintin’s Natural Premium Ice Cream & Sorbet, we’re all about taking beloved Louisiana traditions and giving them a deliciously frozen twist—and this combo might just be the ultimate Southern dessert upgrade.

🎺 The Classics Collide

New Orleans is a city built on contrasts: hot and cool, sweet and strong, soulful and celebratory. That’s exactly what makes the beignet and ice cream pairing so magical. The hot, pillowy dough of a fresh-fried beignet meets the cold, creamy luxury of our handcrafted ice cream—it’s crispy, melty, rich, and refreshing all at once.

🍨 Top Pairings to Try

If you’re new to the beignet-and-ice-cream experience, here are a few signature pairings to kick off your culinary exploration:

• Café au Lait Ice Cream + BeignetsChannel the classic Café du Monde combo with our coffee-and-cream ice cream. It’s everything you love about your morning pick-me-up—only colder, sweeter, and more indulgent.

• Vanilla Bean Ice Cream + Cinnamon Sugar BeignetsKeep it timeless with our pure vanilla bean ice cream, made with Madagascar Bourbon vanilla. Add cinnamon to your beignets for a churro-inspired twist.

• Creole Cream Cheese Ice Cream + Berry Compote BeignetsTangy and luxurious, our Creole Cream Cheese ice cream pairs beautifully with a warm berry-stuffed beignet or a drizzle of strawberry jam.

• Roasted Strawberry Creole Cream Cheese + Classic BeignetsThe roasted strawberries give a slow-cooked depth of flavor, balancing the powdered sugar with just the right amount of fruity acidity.

• King Cake Ice Cream + Glazed Beignets (Seasonal)During Carnival season, go all out with our festive King Cake ice cream. Cinnamon, caramel, sugar—yes, even a baby on top—create a Mardi Gras moment in every bite.

🍴 How to Enjoy the Mashup

There’s no wrong way to enjoy this mashup, but here are a few crowd-pleasing methods:

• A La Mode – Place a scoop right on top of warm beignets and let the ice cream melt into the dough.

• Stuffed Beignets – Slice open a beignet and tuck a scoop inside for an ice cream sandwich, New Orleans-style.

• Dip & Dunk – Serve ice cream on the side and let your guests dip their beignets as they go.

• Brunch Dessert Board – Assemble a platter with mini beignets, assorted scoops, syrups, and toppings for a DIY party treat.

🎉 Where to Find Your Fix

While we don’t serve beignets in-house (yet!), you can grab our pints at local Rouses Markets, specialty grocers, and right from our shop freezer. Pick up a bag of fresh beignets from your favorite bakery—or whip up a batch at home—and create your own mashup masterpiece.

Beignets and ice cream are each iconic in their own right. But together? They’re a love letter to the flavors, flair, and creativity that define New Orleans. Whether you're celebrating something special or just sweetening up a regular day, this is one mashup worth the powdered sugar mess.
