Instead of standing in line at the ice cream shop, cool off with easy frozen desserts to make yourself at home: milkshakes, yogurt sundaes, ice cream without churn and ice cream pies.
With over 14 recipes to choose from, you’ll have a hard time deciding which of these great frozen delights to try first!
You will love these frozen treats and let me assure you that none of them are difficult to make. Most recipes have a short list of ingredients, some up to three! Why not make your own frozen treat for a part of the cost?
About these frozen desserts
like popsicles? By purchasing a set of reusable popsicle molds, you can make pudding pops, yogurt pops and fruit-based popsicles. So refreshing! And easy! Keep a good supply in your freezer—they’ll last up to 3 months—for whenever the urge hits you.
Or maybe you prefer milk shake! If you have a blender, you can make a milkshake. Hand blenders work great too!
Did you know you can make your own ice cream? You don’t even need a fancy ice cream maker! As an alternative to ice cream and a less indulgent treat, strawberry sorbet or mint berry granita are loaded with fruit flavor and low in calories.
The weather is freaking hot and you’re just dying from the heat, so open the freezer and treat yourself to a homemade frozen treat. Find a nice spot in the shade, line up for your favorite summer music and enjoy a little taste of heaven! You will be so glad you did!
Ice cream toppings
Don’t forget the toppings! Try a classic and delicious hot fudge sauce. If you’re not a chocolate fan, try a bourbon caramel sauce, or maybe both for a fancy turtle sundae!
Crazy about dipped cones? Try an orange cream magic wrap with just 4 light ingredients (no creepy artificial ingredients). Perfect to drizzle over vanilla ice cream.
Top your sundaes with homemade crunchy oatmeal. It’s the perfect nut-free addition to sundaes and costs almost no money to make, with only three ingredients! If you like nutty toppings, try these spiced pecans or vanilla bean candied walnuts on ice cream.
