It’s summer and that means it’s time for frozen treats. We’ve got recipes for  homemade ice cream, easy popsicles, and fudgesicles.  Make some for your kids today. There is something for everyone, including dairy free and vegan ice cream. The hardest part might just be waiting for them to freeze.

Ice cream is one of my guilty pleasures. The cold creamy goodness carries all kinds of memories for me. It is the sound of the ice cream truck trundling around the neighborhood. The feel of the long, endless days of summer. And the joy of being treated to a ice cream cone with a chocolate flake stuck in for good measure. YUM!

Let’s be honest I like all kinds of frozen treats. My mom made Popsicles from fruit juice and I still remember the sticky mess I got into. Later I carried on the tradition and made them for boys. Eating the things was definitely an outdoor activity.

How about you? Do you make popsicles or ice cream treats for you kids? Now that the weather’s warming up it is time to bring out that frozen goodness!

First off I want to be clear. If you want to keep things super simple a quick trip to the grocery store will suffice. There is no rules that says you have to make them. We do not have to live up to the standards set by Pinterest.

However, ice cream and other frozen treats are actually quite easy to make. They taste really good and you can control what goes in them. i thought it would be really helpful to gather up the very best frozen treat recipes. We’ve got ice cream treats, popsicles, and dairy free recipes. So let’s get down to business and take a look at some of these delicious treats. Feel free to drool!
