Breakfast Popsicles Perfect for Ice Cream for Breakfast Day

Some days, just the thought of starting your day with the regular routine is such a bore. What if breakfast could be a little bit more fun and a lot more indulgent? Think of Ice Cream for Breakfast Day—a tradition that lets you skip the cereal and pancakes for something that feels more like a treat. Whether an early riser or a late sleeper, there's nothing like the pleasure of having ice cream first thing in the morning.

The roots were planted in the 1960s, as Florence Rappaport served breakfast in the form of ice cream that snowy February morning. The little spontaneous moment for fun with the two youngest in the house rapidly turned into a yearly event enjoyed by her household and eventually their neighbors and later, even a few acquaintances. Fast forward to today, and people all over the world are celebrating Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, making it the perfect excuse to enjoy the cold, creamy goodness of ice cream first thing in the morning.

But who says it has to be just a bowl of ice cream? What about breakfast popsicles, combining the best of both worlds—ice cream and morning nourishment? These popsicles offer a fun, creative twist on a traditional breakfast while still delivering all the indulgence you crave.
