10 Refreshing Summer Time Treats

1. Ice Cream Sandwiches- Bake chocolate cookies. Allow the cookies to completely cool. Then put one scoop of ice cream between two cookies. Place the sandwiches on a tray and place in the freezer for at least two hours. For best results allow sandwiches to freeze overnight.

2. Homemade Ice Cream- No Ice cream maker is required. Get about two pints of strawberries and mash them with a fork or mix them in a blender. In a large bowl combine about two coffee mugs full of half and half, a large can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 tsp of vanilla. Put the ice cream in the freezer for about an hour. When the ice cream is almost completely frozen stir in the strawberries or a fruit of your choice. Enjoy

3. Grilled Peaches- Cut peaches in half. Remove pit. Brush fruit with Canola or Grapeseed oil. Place peaches face down on the grill and cook covered for about five minutes or until grill marks appear. Remove fruit and serve. You may top with ice cream or yogurt.

4. Berry Fool Fools- In medium bowl toss 3 cups of berries with 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 Tbsp. of berry liqueur, and 1 tsp. of lemon juice. Let sit for 20 minutes. Put mixture in a blender and whirl until smooth. In a large bowl beat 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold berry mixture into cream. Spoon into bowls and enjoy or freeze for about an hour.

5. Joyce's layered dessert- Get a large bowl and line with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, a layer of cool whip and a layer of Heath bar. Repeat until bowl is full.

6. Pineapple orangesicles- Blend 8 oz. Vanilla yogurt with 8 oz. crushed pineapples and 6 oz. can of  pineapple orange juice concentrate. Blend until smooth. Fill 8 paper drinking cups 1/3 full and freeze for about an hour or until partially frozen. Place wooden popsicle sticks in the middle of each cup. Freeze until completely frozen. About 2 hours.

7. Banana Pudding Ice Cream- Take yourself to Walgreens and buy Banana pudding flavored Bluebell Ice Cream.

8. Karalyn Kerby's Homemade Banana Pudding- Call Karalyn and ask her for the recipe, or ask nicely if she will make a batch for you. It's the greatest banana pudding of all time. Sorry Mom.

9. Lemonade Pie- In a medium bowl, mix 4 cups of softened Vanilla or Lemon Ice cream and 6 oz. can of thawed lemonade concentrate until blended. Immediately spoon into 9" graham cracker pie crust. Freeze for at least 4 hours until firm. Take out of freezer and let it sit for 10  to 15 minutes before cutting.

Rocky Road Sandwiches- Lay out 32 graham cracker squares. Take 1 1/2 cups of chocolate icing and mix with 1 cup of miniature marshmallows in a small bowl. Spread chocolate mixture on half of the crackers. Then take 1 cup of marshmallow creme and spread it on the remaining graham crackers. Next take chocolate ice cream and put half a cup on each chocolate covered graham cracker. Then take the marshmallow covered crackers and complete the sandwich by gently pressing down on top of the ice cream covered crackers. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and freeze until firm. 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
