Ah, summer! Long sunny days, endless blue skies, and… the sweltering heat. But don’t sweat it—literally. We’ve got the scoop on some of the coolest, most refreshing frozen treats that will help you beat the heat in the most delicious way possible. Let’s jump into some fun and, most importantly, refreshing ideas.
Homemade Fruit Popsicles
Create your own fruit popsicles using fresh juice or pureed fruit. You can make them as simple or as complex as you like. Try layering different flavored juices for a rainbow effect, or add pieces of chopped fruit to coconut water for a hydrating, tropical treat. For a creamier texture, blend in some yogurt or coconut milk.
Frozen Banana Bites
Dip banana slices in melted chocolate, place them on a baking sheet, and then freeze. Before the chocolate sets, you can roll the banana slices in toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut shavings. These bites make a fantastic snack or a fun dessert.
Watermelon Slush
Blend chunks of seedless watermelon with ice, a touch of honey, and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing slushie. For an adult version, add a splash of your favorite spirit, such as vodka or tequila. Serve in chilled glasses for a festive and cooling drink.
