A sweet start to your morning, the New Orleans way—with Quintin’s Natural Premium Ice Cream & Sorbet

Ice cream for breakfast might sound like a childhood dream—but we’re here to tell you, it’s 100% legit. In fact, there’s even an unofficial holiday celebrating it: National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, celebrated every year on the first Saturday in February. At Quintin’s Natural Premium Ice Cream & Sorbet, we say—why wait for a special occasion?


Made with clean, natural ingredients and inspired by the comforting flavors of New Orleans, our ice cream is the perfect way to add a little joy to your morning routine. Here’s how to do it right.


🥄 1. Make a Breakfast Bowl—The Sweet Edition

Think smoothie bowl, but better. Start with a scoop of Vanilla Bean, Southern Strawberry Sorbet, or Creole Cream Cheese as your base.


Top with:

  • Fresh fruit (banana slices, blueberries, strawberries)

  • Granola or toasted oats

  • A drizzle of local honey

  • Chia seeds, shredded coconut, or crushed pecans for texture

It’s refreshing, energizing, and honestly… way more exciting than yogurt.


🧇 2. Waffle Sandwiches

Swap out the syrup for ice cream! Toast two mini waffles and sandwich a scoop of Café au Lait or Roasted Strawberry Creole Cream Cheese ice cream in between. Add whipped cream or a touch of cinnamon sugar for a breakfast dessert that’s both playful and indulgent.


Pro tip: Our Screamers are perfect for this—just squeeze, sandwich, and enjoy with no mess.


🍞 3. French Toast à la Mode

Start with thick slices of brioche or French bread, soaked in cinnamon-vanilla egg custard and pan-fried to golden perfection. Serve warm with a generous scoop of Salted Caramel or King Cake ice cream (during Mardi Gras season!) and a light dusting of powdered sugar. You won’t even miss the syrup.


☕ 4. Affogato for the AM

Need a caffeine kick? Pour a hot shot of espresso over a scoop of Vanilla Bean or Café au Lait ice cream for a morning affogato. The coffee melts the ice cream into a rich, creamy swirl that’s equal parts pick-me-up and indulgence.


No espresso machine? A small cup of strong drip coffee or cold brew will do the trick.


🥭 5. Tropical Breakfast Parfait

Layer Mango Tango Sorbet or Coconut Pineapple Sorbet with Greek yogurt and chopped fresh fruit (pineapple, kiwi, or mango) for a sunny, tropical treat. Add toasted coconut flakes and a handful of granola to make it feel extra fancy.


🥳 Why It Works

At Quintin’s, our ice creams and sorbets are crafted with real fruit, natural dairy, and pure cane sugar—no artificial junk, no mystery ingredients. That means you’re starting your day with real flavor and clean indulgence.


Plus, breakfast should bring you joy. And if a little scoop of ice cream makes your morning better? That’s a win.


🍨 Breakfast Challenge: Host an Ice Cream Brunch

Invite friends or family over and create an Ice Cream for Breakfast Bar with:

  • Waffles, pancakes, or mini French toast

  • Bowls of toppings (granola, fruit, nuts)

  • Several Quintin’s flavors on ice

  • Coffee and espresso for morning affogatos

  • Screamers for mess-free fun for the kids (and adults!)

It’s unexpected, fun, and totally memorable.


Ice cream for breakfast isn’t just a trend—it’s a joyful ritual in the making. With the naturally crafted goodness of Quintin’s Natural Premium Ice Cream & Sorbet, you can turn your morning into something extraordinary, one delicious scoop at a time.
