I love the weekends that my hubby gets the itch to barbecue! In our home Gavin is truly the king of barbecue and slow-cooked meats. Cooking outside is a bit of a passion with him – well, barbecue and and his motorcycle. On these beautiful summer weekends it’s kind of a tough choice for Gavin – to head out for a ride or slow cook some meat. I’m glad that this last weekend he choose the later.
By the looks of everyone’s faces as the sunk their teeth into his (should be) famous pulled pork sandwiches – we were all glad he chose to barbecue this past weekend.
But man, woman, and kids cannot live by pulled pork sandwiches alone. No way! Beautiful summer days are also designed for DREYER’S Ice Cream! A day spent smoking meat, whipping up the easy cider vinegar sauce and assembling these oh-so-delicious sandwiches deserves to be topped off with a creamy bowl of DREYER’S!
Seriously there is no better pairing than the tangy flavor of pulled pork and Creamy DREYER’S Ice Cream! My kids’ favorite is DREYER’S Nestlé Butterfinger® Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream while I favor DREYER’S Baby Ruth® Ice Cream. Both are delicious! Really what is not to love about our favorite creamy (made with fresh milk & cream) ice cream inspired by our favorite candies like Nestlé Butterfinger® Peanut Butter Cups and Baby Ruth® – Double yum!
I found so many wonderful new flavors of DREYER’S at Walmart in the freezer aisle! It was hard to choose which one… or two… But I know my kids love Nestlé Butterfinger® Peanut Butter Cups and I love Baby Ruth® so the decision was made. For now. Next time it just might be Rolo or KitKat for me. But my fam, they are true DREYER’S Nestlé Butterfinger® Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream loyalists!
If you are having a hard time deciding which flavor you should choose, then check out this list of Walmart stores – They are going to be having ice cream tasting! A chance for yourself to taste how delicious DREYER’s Ice Cream, proudly made with fresh milk & cream with no rBST (milk production hormone) and no artificial colors or flavors, really is!
Just like DREYER’S Ice Cream is the perfect pairing for the pulled pork sandwiches, this cider vinegar sauce is the perfect pairing for pulled pork!
Smoking a pork butt is all business and takes 5 – 7 hours. So by no means is this one of those quick meals to throw together! The good news is that once the pork is covered with Gavin’s tasty rub it is placed on the ‘cue. Watching the temperature is key, but other than that – it is a set it and forget it process.
Until the pork is removed. That is when you get busy pulling the meat apart and mixing the meat with this yummy and very easy cider vinegar sauce.

I love pulled pork sandwiches – especially in the summertime as they just taste better to me. I will have to give it a try making them your way and see what the family thinks 😉
My husband loves to use his smoker and I loved a good pulled pork sandwich. I also had no idea that Dreyer’s had so many flavors! Wow!
Wow, that looks so good! Nothing like some pulled pork sandwiches and ice cream for dessert.
Oh man this post made me so hungry! You definitely can’t go wrong with BBQ and Ice Cream!
I covet you Big Green Egg! They are amazing aren’t they? The pulled pork looks scrumptious!!!! That’s one of our family favorites as well. We live on the east coast so I’ve not heard of Dryers Ice cream. I’ll have to seek it out. I’m sure it’s wonderful – I’ve never met an ice cream I didn’t like…
You’ve inspired me to get more creative in my ice cream choices. I’ve been a vanilla girl for years but I think it’s time to be a it adventurous. Happy Summer!
That pulled pork looks amazing. It’s making my mouth water! I just love Dreyer’s Ice Cream. Especially anything with peanut butter cups mixed in. You’re right, pulled pork and Dreyer’s is the perfect pairing!

I can’t decided which looks yummier then pork or the ice cream. I just have both please.
I am just not a fan of pork. However, I would eat anything if it means I get to eat that ice cream after!
These all look so good! I agree – BBQ and ice cream is the best combination. It just screams summer. And….now I need some ice cream.
I am a sucker for pulled pork! Yum! #client
This sounds and looks amazing! You are right, there is no better combination than BBQ and ice cream! My family and I had that on the 4th and it was perfect!
