Frozen mint brownie dessert
Those who like the taste of chocolate will love a frozen mint brownie dessert. Start with brownies you have cooked yourself or purchased. Mix whipping cream into mint ice cream. Spoon the mixture over the brownies and then add a chocolate fudge topping. Press and freeze.
Gelato
For something creamy and smooth, go for the always delicious Italian specialty, Gelato. According to Cooking Light, it comes in delicious flavors such as strawberry-buttermilk. They are easy to make with recipes at websites such as All Recipes.
Frozen Pie
A frozen pie can be absolutely delicious. For something scrumptious, try a frozen blackberry-lemon chiffon pie. This delicious recipe uses graham cracker crumbs, butter, milk, blackberries, lemon juice, salt, eggs and water to create a sweet pie.
Sorbet
For something lighter, you can go for a sorbet. You will find many varieties available for purchase from stores. Haaghen Dazs offers flavors such as blackberry cabernet, mango and zesty lemon. Find recipes on websites such as My Recipes.
Frozen fruit
If you want something healthy, you can simply freeze fruit. This works well with fruit such as bananas, blueberries and strawberries. For something extra dip them in chocolate to make a savory treat.
Popsicle
For those who want a lighter frozen dessert, consider popsicles. You will have your choice of these at the stores. Some are pre-frozen whereas others you freeze yourself. For something much healthier, you can freeze fruit juices to make your own popsicles.
Ices
A sno-cone maker shaves ice into icicles. Simply add a flavored syrup to make whatever flavor you would like. Popular flavors include cherry, strawberry and watermelon.
Ice Cream
Of course any list of frozen desserts would not be complete without ice cream. A simple scoop of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or any one of the hundreds of flavors out there might make the perfect companion to your summer’s day. A waffle cone dipped in chocolate can add a sweet accompaniment. You can make an ice cream sundae with caramel, butterscotch, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles and of course a cherry on top. A banana split adds a delicious and healthy fruit to the mix. You can also add it to cake for a delicious treat.
A frozen dessert can take the edge off of a hot summer’s day. Buy pre-pared from the store or create your own frozen dessert.
