My goodness summer has hit us hard this year! Lots of 100 degree days, the A/C is on the fritz and no time to jump into the pool. Nevertheless, we have made sure to take advantage of summer by devouring cool, sweet, refreshing popsicles! There are so many to choose from this year!
Tomorrow {insert large sigh of relief here} is the first day of summer, aka it's carefree mix-tape listenin', road-trip cruisin', farm fresh eatin', flip-flop, sundress + sunglass wearin' season. I. Can't. Wait. I also don't know a better way to celebrate all this than with popsicles, Strawberry Basil Creamsicles that is.
I told you guys I was crazy, over the top, can't get enough, OBSESSED WITH STRAWBERRIES this season! It's like those little awesome flavor bombs rule my life these days. I just love em. So does ricotta, basil, and some freezer time. Bust out your popsicle makers folks, cause today you get strawberry basil ricotta popsicles!
Next installment in the summer of frozen treats (it's still summer) is this Strawberry Limoncello Frozen Yogurt with Lemon Curd. I haven't done a frozen yogurt yet so it's time my friends. If you like strawberry lemonade and ice cream you're gonna love this. It reminds me of a kicked up strawberry lemonade ice cream float!
The perfect popsicle grown up summer cooler. Gin and Tonic ice lollies! It's bank holiday weekend, hurrah! After fairly rubbish weather this summer, the sunshine is due out this weekend and how better to celebrate than with gin and tonic ice lollies. Cooling, refreshing and well.. GIN. And if it rains?
By Livvy I generally try to keep it pretty healthy here. Not today. This recipe for vegan fried ice cream (with a gluten-free option) is all about SPLURGING. It's a special occasion dessert. One to pull out for birthdays, anniversaries and such.
Have you noticed my 2 obsessions lately? One is, well, OBVS RHUBARB! The other, is homemade popsicles. Proof here, here, and here. My popsicle maker is easily the most used kitchen gadget in the house. Well, other than the daily grinds like the kettle and the skillet. I just can't get enough!
It's time to start sharing Christmas recipes! Today's easy dessert recipe is a Frosty Mocha Punch to serve with holiday desserts. Yes, it actually happened...we got snow last night! I was really hoping that it would wait another month or two to arrive but the ground is white.
When you hear 'frozen yogurt,' what comes to mind? Do you think of those self-serve yogurt places where you pull the handles to fill up as much as you want in your cup? Yeah, that stuff isn't bad, but try this recipe, and you may just like this Raspberry Lemon Frozen Yogurt more than ice cream.
