Hello Fabulistas! There’s nothing like cooling off after a hot day in New York City with a frozen sweet treat. I love ice cream all the time, but try to get creative and make my own during warm weather. You have to love a recipe that let’s you do a little prep work and then freeze to perfection. (That means no ice cream machine!) Here are some recipes that I’ve tried or can’t wait to try this season.

5-Minute Strawberry Ice Cream

This yummy recipe is simple and delicious. It’s full of strawberries and bananas, resulting in a tart dessert that’s become one of my favorites to serve guests.

Circus Animal Cookie Ice Cream

This recipe isn’t what I would call light. But it’s easy! It puts a nice spin on regular ice cream with the kids’ favorite of iced circus animal cookies.

Copycat Birthday Cake Remix Ice Cream

The Birthday Cake Remix is my one of my favorites from the Coldstone menu. It’s such a decadent, filling treat! This is a really easy alternative that you can make (and enjoy) at home.

Whipped Milk Ice Cream

It doesn’t get much easier than this recipe. If you have a mixer, then you’re good to go! Did I mention that it has less than a handful of ingredients?

Non-Dairy Chocolate Ice Cream

This is another scrumptious recipe that has a coconut milk base. When you’re looking for non-dairy, vegan recipes, coconut milk is a lifesaver! I couldn’t make this list without a chocolate recipe.

Raw Lucuma Cinnamon Ice Cream

This sounds like such a delicious, healthy recipe. I’ve never tried a raw recipe for ice cream, so I’m really looking forward to trying this one this summer!
