Some of these vintage 1960s ice cream flavors will make you drool
You’ll also see some varieties that should never have existed in the first place. For example, Lady Borden Mint Fudge ice cream. The name sounds like it would be good, right? And yet… here’s how it’s described: “The bright flavor of mint, flecks of rich chocolate fudge and crushed, sun-ripened pineapple…”
So, yeah — you’re probably not excited for that particular flavor to come back, but most of these 60s ice cream flavors do look amazing, and we’re officially sad about some of the discontinued varieties you just don’t see anymore. Check them out below.

Ice cream know-how: How to make 5 cool retro desserts (1961)
Steamboat sundae. Hull is a split banana, that holds chocolate ice cream drowned in marshmallow creme, orange ice topped with pineapple sauce, and vanilla ice cream covered with strawberry sauce. Peg marshmallows fore and aft; add s chocolate-wafer deck. A candy stick is the mast, a cherry is the rudder.
Rippled look for sundae spectaculars. Chill a sturdy spoon in the freezer. Holding it bowl up, skim across firm ice cream. Start Fudge Sundae with a scoop of ice cream in a chilled dish; alternate light and dark spoonfuls. Warm the fudge sauce for a lush topping.
Vintage Kraft ice cream topping flavors shown below: Caramel, strawberry, chocolate caramel, butterscotch, chocolate, fudge, pineapple & walnut topping
Tepees for kids. Pack ice cream into paper cone cups; insert paddle sticks. Freeze firm. Heat and stir 1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces, 1/2 cup evaporated milk till blended; cool. Peel off cones; spread on chocolate; roll in chopped walnuts. Serve, or freeze.
A cake breaker makes neat slices, even in the firmest ice cream. Neapolitan ice cream shows off three ribbons of color. Another time, cut the ice cream in wedges. To help keep servings from melting, chill plates in the refrigerator or put them in the freezer for a few minutes.
Double-color dips boast double flavors. Work with firm ice creams, and a chilled scoop. Half-fill scoop by taking several light swoops in one flavor, then round out the ball with another flavor. Open jars of sundae sauce or fruit preserves for a topper.
