24 Fun Frozen Desserts You’ll Make All Summer Long

1. Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Ice cream and brownies are already pretty perfect on their own. But when you put them together, they make the most mind-blowing snack. Talk about a power combo!

Sure, you can get ice cream sandwiches anywhere, but making them at home is much more fun. Plus, you can make them with whatever flavors your heart desires. 

This dessert also keeps well in the freezer for up to a month, so go ahead and make a huge batch!

I’m a winter baby, but I don’t mind celebrating my birthday in summer if I get to have this as my cake. Yes, that’s how good this 5-layer ice cream cake is!

Let’s talk about these 5 layers, shall we? At the bottom is a sweet and crumbly Oreo cookie crust. Wow, we’re off to a great start! 

Then, it’s followed by two ice cream layers: chocolate and peanut butter. Of course, you’ll get to decide what flavors you want in your cake. 

Next up is a layer of thick, luscious, and decadent hot fudge. Drool-fest!!! You can use store-bought fudge in a pinch, but it’s much better to make it yourself. 

Last, but not least, is a layer of fluffy, heavenly whipped cream. It’s okay to use Cool Whip, but nothing beats freshly whipped cream.

Together, these five layers make the most sinful and decadent cake. Did you notice that not once did I mention the oven? No baking required! 

Dress it up with rainbow sprinkles to make it even more special!
