You can even pair Black Magic ice cream with other Halloween-themed ice creams from our recipe page, like Candy Corn, Pumpkin Bourbon, Pumpkin Crunch, or Worms in Dirt.

It’s no longer intimidating to create gourmet ice cream and experiment with flavors. Just blend and freeze for a personalized treat that you can serve, share, gift — or keep all to yourself. However you choose to make and share your Hijinx, is correct.
