You don’t need an ice cream maker to make up a batch of summery watermelon ice cream, just the patience to wait for the cubed melon to freeze and a powerful blender or food processor to whip the frozen fruit with sweetened condensed milk. The resulting ice cream has a soft texture, but after setting in the freezer for a few more hours it firms up to a scoopable consistency. It’s a wonderful base for a summery sundae or a helping of whipped cream and strawberries, or it can be added to a glass of limeade for a frothy treat. So go ahead and buy that giant watermelon—once you know how to make watermelon ice cream, you have an indulgent yet easy way to get through a whole lot of it.

A cool, icy snack on a hot day provides welcome relief, but many treats contain ingredients you don’t want to eat—and some you don’t recognize. Simple, sweet pops like these homemade strawberry popsicles contain only fruit, sugar, lemon juice and water, and they couldn’t be easier to make. In fact, you don’t even need to go to the store for popsicle molds if you have small paper cups and food-safe wood popsicle sticks. These fruit treats blend up in a flash, so you can make them in the evening and let them freeze overnight for a delicious treat the next day.

I don't know about you, but I have eaten quite a few Frosty's in my day. Of course the chocolate ones but as we all know that there are many calories in Frosty's. This recipe is lower in calories and will make four servings. It takes about 10 minutes to make, but you do have to freeze it. It is so worth it when it is all done. The frosty couldn't be very easier to make. For your kids you can add chocolate chips, sprinkles or anything they enjoy to make it more special for them.

When I learned that Hershey’s Ice Cream Shoppe bars would be available in stores for the first time, I felt an anticipatory thrill as though I’d heard the ice cream truck’s song growing ever closer. Rather than search manically for cash and sprint down the block lest those punk neighbor kid snag the last SpongeBob Squarepants-shaped Popsicle, I just had to stalk Walgreens for a few weeks.
