Try These Frozen DIY Dessert Recipes on National Ice Cream Day
When it comes to summer desserts, ice cream always makes the top of our list.
Which is why we're gearing up to celebrate National Ice Cream Day on July 16 with a little extra oomph. Instead of going out we're bringing the ice cream dream home with some DIY recipes that will satisfy every sweet tooth.
Each of the ice cream recipes we feature can be made at home, meaning no churning machine is required. Remember that these recipes will have to spend quite a few hours in the fridge and freezer to firm up, so plan on making these a day ahead of any party or sleepover that demands the frozen treat.
