What’s on the dessert menu this week? Frozen treats to beat the heat! When the temperatures rise, the last thing anyone wants to do is have the oven on for a long period of time. But dessert is always needed. The only time the oven goes on for these easy dessert recipes is to quickly bake a crust. Then the fridge does the hard work. These cold dessert ideas are the perfect way to end a warm summer’s day.
Oreo Mint Chocolate Chip Freeze
“This is one of my favorites that my mother used to make for us as a child. I am grown and still love making it for my hubby. Try it once, and there’s no turning back!” – Victoria
Drumstick Torte
“Have several copies of this recipe handy if you serve this to company or bring it to a potluck. People are going to want this recipe! This is my very favorite dessert of all time. It’s easy to make and decadent. It tastes exactly like the sundae cone ice cream treats we enjoyed as kids.?” – Cathy
Malted Milk Pie
“This recipe came from an old friend of mine Judy Visser Shindlbeck. My mom, Betty Lillie, is in charge of making this dessert in our family. My kids never ask me to make it, but they beg their grandma to make that ice cream thing. This is even yummier if you use chocolate-flavored malted milk powder.” – Diane
Death By Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

Ice Cream Sandwich Ice Cream Cake

Ice Cream Cake (Peanut Butter Sundae)

It was two scoops of vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, crowned with an upside down sugar cone, a whipped cream border, and studded with Reese’s pieces. I present to you my version of that little girl’s sundae.” – Amber
