Delicious Father's Day Ideas

In order to keep celebrations sweet this Father’s Day, Beckon has made a list of deliciously fun Father’s Day ideas, activities, and dessert pairings. Pick one, or a few! And most importantly, have fun and cherish the moments.

So here’s to all the Dads, Dad’s Dads, Dog Dads, and fans of Dad Jokes. As we celebrate Father’s Day, we also welcome the start of summer, meaning lots of opportunities for enjoying the sunshine outdoors.

 

Dish Out The Most Important Meal Of The Day
Surprise him with breakfast in bed, or make it together. Brunch might seem like more of a Mom thing at first, but when offered something as delectable as ice cream flavored french toast, we’re sure Dad won’t say no. One thing’s for sure, it will make him feel like a kid again.

Grab some inspo with the recipe for our Beckon Overnight Baked French Toast here.

 

Get Adventurous With A Mini Road Trip
Rent his dream car, make a dad friendly playlist, and hit the road. The destination doesn’t have to be far. After all, it’s about spending quality time.

Looking for an easy on-the-go snack? Our new Beckon Snack Cups are the perfectly portable, delicious single serving solution! Have fun with festive toppings like rainbow sprinkles and cookie crumbles as you make lasting memories.

 

Tackle a DIY Task Together
He’s the first person you call when you have to build a desk or mount a picture frame. So why not let him teach you some skills? If Dad doubles as the family handyman, you could help him fix something around the house… making Mom happy in the process, double win! And if he has a more artistic side, plan a creative project you can do together and spend the day teaming up to construct your Father’s Day masterpiece.

Afterwards you’ll want to reward your efforts. Why not try sweet, creamy milkshakes? We are big fans of this timeless dessert at Beckon, and have a few lactose free recipes to share, including Classic Strawberry and a milkshake version of Pineapple Upside Down Cake, if you’re in the mood for something more unique.

 

Host A Beer Tasting
Buy a variety of craft beers and deliver an adults-only Father’s Day bash devoted to tasting new brews. Classy, tasty, festive…It’s pretty much the perfect Father’s Day gift.

Get crazy and try using Beckon’s Peanut Butter Cup or Dark Chocolate Brownie ice cream to make a Boozy Ice Cream Float (or a sober Root Beer Float). It’s time for you and dad to live on the wild side.

 

Plan A Backyard Picnic
Fire up the grill, play some flag football, create a mini golf course…the possibilities are really endless here, depending on dad’s preferences.

That means dessert options are endless too! Top some funnel cake with sweet vanilla ice cream (instant carnival, anyone?), or check out our recipe for the fan favorite Sprinkle Cookie Ice Cream Sammie.

 

Take Movie Night Outdoors
Throw a white sheet over a rope, lay blankets on the ground, and queue up a fun movie on the projector. Even add twinkle lights for a special touch. One caveat here: Dad has to pick the film (yes, even if it’s some obscure historical documentary you have no interest in). It’s his day, after all.

Here’s a classic movie treat with a twist here for ya: popcorn sundaes! Take your favorite flavor of Beckon lactose free ice cream and top it with kettle corn and gooey caramel. Salty, sweet, creamy and crunchy all in one bowl. It’s a Father’s Day dessert sure to melt dad’s heart.

 

At Beckon, we believe that nothing should stand in the way of celebration. That’s why we’ve created the first premium lactose free ice cream that is still REAL dairy, and therefore still has the real good, feel good kind of stuff we all crave. This Father’s Day, enjoy all the moments, large and small…from first hug to last bite.
