It’s summer. And, it’s HOT.
I’m not going to lie. I’m a cool weather gal. In my opinion, if we just skipped summer all around, I’d be happy. And skipping the dead of winter wouldn’t be too shabby either…Maybe the year could just go Spring, Summer, Spring, Summer…
Yeah, that would be awesome. 🙂
But, that is also never going to happen, so the next best thing on a hot summer day is an ice cold treat to cool you off.
I remember a day when I loved those OtterPops and other artificially colored, artificially flavored treats. It’s been many years since I’ve eaten anything like that now that I have discovered just how simple it is to make nourishing, real food versions of my favorite summertime frozen treats.
Here are 50 frozen treats for summer with everything from ice cream to sherbet to gelato to popsicles. I’m sure you’ll find something on this list that will tickle your taste buds and please the whole family!
If you’re new to making ice cream, I highly recommend reading my post on 5 Tips for Perfect Homemade Ice Cream here. My passion for homemade ice cream and frozen treats is exactly why I wrote my eBook, The Splendid Scoop. You can learn more about that book here, or read on down to the bottom of this article.

Want to Learn How to Make Your Own Ice Cream Perfection At Home?
I’ve got you covered in my best-selling eBook, The Splendid Scoop and Other Frozen Treats: Delicious and Easy Dairy-Free Recipes, Plus Tips and Tricks for Homemade Ice Cream Perfection!
When the weather gets warm, nothing is more delicious than a bowl of cold ice cream or a delicious frozen treat. But, when you’re on a restricted diet, finding treats that are suitable for your needs can be tricky. Plus, what happens when you want to make ice cream, but don’t own an ice cream maker? Can you still make tasty treats without all the special equipment?
Yes! You can!
That is why I created The Splendid Scoop and Other Frozen Treats eBook! I, myself, am on a restricted diet for health reasons and when the weather starts warming up over 65 F, I start to get cranky. ? I am definitely a cool weather gal and one way to keep me sane and satisfied during the height of summer is knowing that I can make something delicious, at home, using healthy ingredients that fit my lifestyle.
All of the recipes in this book are dairy, grain, and gluten free. They can easily be modified for the autoimmune protocol as well, making them extra special for those on super restricted diets.
In The Splendid Scoop and Other Frozen Treats eBook, You Will Learn:
- Why making your own ice cream and frozen treats at home is better than buying them at the store (even the organic ones!).
- Tips and tricks for homemade ice cream success.
- How to make ice cream without an ice cream maker (it’s easier than you think!).
- Delicious dairy-free recipes the whole family will love (recipes are also gluten and free and can easily be adapted for the autoimmune protocol as well).
- Extensive resource suggestions for real food, wellness, and beyond.
Don’t let another summer or special occasion pass you by. No longer will you have to watch your friends and family indulge on their favorite frozen treats while you sit on the sidelines due to your dietary restrictions.
Now you can enjoy creamy, delicious, and allergen-friendly frozen treats once again with The Splendid Scoop.
