Summer Sweets

The heat is on! Usually during the summer season, appetites go down as the taste for very heavy food is not so appetizing. We usually opt for light salads, or quick foods that we don't have to spend a lot of time with like hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, etc.. But not so with dessert! We can eat dessert pretty much all year round. And why not? It is the best part of the meal. At least in my opinion. But it is summer and generally desserts are simple, easy and cool.

Let's start with simple and easy! All you need is 3 ingredients and a crock pot. Yep! That's it! I'm not kidding! Don't believe me? Watch!

See, I told you! Just add some creamy vanilla ice cream and you are all set. Cool, rich and creamy, and all you had to do is open a box, a can, dump and mix! How easy is that?

Ok, next up requires a little elbow grease, but not a lot! How does homemade ice cream sound? And don't worry, this recipe only requires a hand mixer and a few ingredients. The first 2 is for the base: Heavy Whipping Cream and Sweetened Condensed Milk. The other ingredients are to add flavor and fun! Here is the recipe:

What is great about this dessert is that you can make it with the kiddos and they can add the flavors that they want! Don't like strawberry? How about sandwich cookies or chocolate fudge? Sprinkles are fun too! Customize however you like. It's your ice cream!

Let me know which dessert you will decide to make. Can't wait to hear from you! Till next time!
