Make Your Own Ice Cream to Beat the Summer Heat

Hey Reader,

It's summer, and I'm hot. Ice cream is kinda my go-to dessert right now, and it's so easy to make at home.

Pick your favorite flavor - or two - and make a batch this week. It's cheaper than buying it at the store and so much more satisfying.

Ice Cream You'll Want to Make All Summer

​Cookie Dough Frozen Custard is my kids' absolute favorite. The custard base is rich and creamy, and the cookie dough chunks are safe to eat raw. You can't go wrong with this choice.

Sweet and salty belong together, and this batch proves it. Salted Caramel Ice Cream is my personal fave, especially when I mix in some chopped-up candy bars.

You don't need an ice cream maker to pull off this No Churn Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, just a handful of ingredients and a freezer. Use fresh, in-season cherries, or grab a bag from your freezer because this works either way.

​Homemade Waffle Cones turn any scoop of ice cream into something even more fun. They're simpler to make than most people expect, and it takes just a little practice to get them right, but once you do - yummmm!
