Beat the heat with our most popular cool treats!

 Temps in the 90s for several days straight has me looking for some treats to beat the heat, so I've gathered up some of our most popular cool treats to share with you!

 

 Affogato

You might be wondering, what the heck is an affogato?  In Italian, affogato means "drowned," and in the case of the dessert, you are drowning gelato or ice cream with a shot of coffee or espresso. 
 

Fried Ice Cream Bars

These are the perfect dessert when you want something sweet but don't want to bake. You can top them with honey or chocolate sauce (or both, we won't judge!).

Strawberry Patch Frost 

 Whether you use homemade strawberry ice cream or store bought this float is like summer in a glass!


 Honey Rum Grilled Banana Split

Caramelized bananas plus a variety of outstanding toppings takes this classic dessert to a whole new level!


Tipsy Iced Coffee

I am a huge fan of iced coffee, I drink it pretty much year round.  I didn't think there would be a way to improve on it, but then I discovered this recipe!

 

Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Pops

I sock rhubarb away in the freezer until strawberry season to make these simple and flavorful popsicles. 

 

Cowtipper Shake

This one's my husband's creation and we've been enjoying it for over 20 years now!  Vanilla ice cream, Baileys Irish Cream and a touch of chocolate and mint.


 Homemade Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

I love any excuse to break out the ice cream attachment.  Save a couple scoops for the Strawberry Patch Floats that are posted above!

 
 

S'mores Milk Shake

Enjoy the campfire treat in drinkable form.  Break out the kitchen torch and make sure to get those marshmallows toasty!


 

Blueberry Lemonade Popsicles

From scratch lemonade is the base for this fruity treat. It's also great with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or a combination of them all! 


Salted Caramel Baileys Milkshakes

 In New England, we'd call this a frappe because it has milk and ice cream.  No matter what you call it, it's absolutely delicious!
 
 

Oreo Ice Cream Cake 

Lovely layers of Oreo cake and two kinds of ice cream. This is our go-to summer birthday cake and you can change it up all kinds of ways with all the fun flavors of Oreos now.




Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Cheesecake ice cream base with graham cracker crumbs and blueberry swirl. I have a hard time not just eating the whole thing straight from the container, it's that good!

 
 

Firecracker Floats

Kids will love how the candy crackles and fizzes and as the soda mixes with the ice cream and candy it creates beautiful pops of color.

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
