1. Vanilla Frozen Custard:

This Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwich has been a staple at our house since childhood. It is made with strawberry ice cream and frozen custard cubes that are then pressed into a bread sandwich, creating an incredibly creamy and indulgent treat.

2. Chocolate Chip Cookies:

If you're looking for a sweet treat that will leave you wanting more, try these chocolate chip cookies with raspberry ice cream in bedtime. The combination of ice cream and cookies makes this recipe a favorite among us, and it's sure to be a hit at parties and celebrations.

3. Caramel Coconut Flakes:

Made from caramel coconut cake batter, this flaky goodness are perfect as they are or piled on top of ice cream sandwiches. They can also be used as a great addition to other dishes like fudge pies or cupcakes.

4: Raspberry Banana Shaped Ice Cream Cups:

From the comfort of home, these homemade ice creams are a deliciously comforting treat - perfect for when you want to cozy up but don't feel like heading to the mall. The mixture of raspberries and banana is added to a smooth vanilla ice cream base, then topped with cinnamon sugar and dipped in rich melted butter. Yum!

5. Lemon Lavender Shaped Ice Cream Cups:

For those who love lemonades but need a little something extra, these cups are just what you need! Each layer of ice cream has a subtle flavor accent, such as orange and vanilla or lychee and raspberry. A fun way to include the element of surprise into your party, these ice creams are sure to be a hit!

6. Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcake:

One thing I have always loved about blueberry cheesecake is how simple it can be, yet still taste amazing. That's why I love making my own blueberry cheesecake cupcakes, which are a big hit for me. Simply mix together 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, 2 cups fresh fruit, and ½ cup unsweetened yogurt until combined. Add a pinch of salt for the final touch. Spread the mixture onto a greased 9x5 inch round baking pan and bake until set through. Once done, take the pan out of the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.

7. Almond Mousse:

Did you know that almond mousse ice creams are actually named after their ingredient? Yes, it's true! The actual word 'almond' is actually derived from the Latin almond's aureus, meaning "to carry or carry someone or things." However, the term 'almond mousse' refers to the process itself, and the end product is basically a beautiful swirl of cream and almonds that's perfectly crafted into a luscious ice cream cone.

8. Almond Mousse Ice Cream Cups:

We can't think of a better ice cream cone than this one! Featuring a sweet almond filling that's filled with fluffy waffles and topped with vanilla ice cream, the results are absolutely divine. You'll be tempted to scoop up all the layers of ice cream all over again - but for a different experience, opt for the option to put the toppings in individual bowls. Or if you prefer, skip the topping altogether and just serve straight off the ice cream cone. Either way, this ice cream cone is definitely worth trying.

9: Fruit Cone Topped Ice Cream Cups:

While most ice creams come in single-serve containers, we have to admit, no one ever said we couldn't make ice creams with multiple servings in one ice cream cone. This version of fruit cone ice creams has become a beloved snack among us, and we're happy to report that they are well received by both guests and family members alike. Not only is it easy to assemble, but once you get past the initial prep work, you can enjoy the fruits and nuts you love without worrying about breaking the bank. Plus, they can even turn into a delicious dessert option by mixing half a scoop of ice cream and using the rest to create fruit cones for a frosty dessert treat.

10. Berry & Cream:

Another popular choice amongst our household is this frozen treat featuring red berry ice cream, strawberries, and cream. All finished off with a brownie crust, this is a truly unique treat!

11. Pineapple Kiwi Ice Cream Cups:

As a bonus treat, consider adding pineapple kiwi into this sweet treat. Known for its crunchy exterior and tropical sweetness, this ice creamer features fresh pineapple chunks and is coated with a thick white sauce. Perfect for enjoying on its own or in a glass bowl, it would also be nice to pair with fruit or drink it up with a slice of pizza - another reason why we keep coming back for more!

12. Peach Pie Ice Cream Cups:

Sometimes, when we're feeling adventurous, we look towards the unexpected - especially in regard to ice creams. The best part about peach pie is that it can also be paired with almost anything else, including coffee creamer, whipped cream, etc. - and that includes ice creams! Pairing peach pie ice creams with mint green tea or coffee creamer, for example, is a wonderful way to add a bit of novelty to any dish. Both of these creams are vegan and gluten free, which means everything from the flavor profile to the texture doesn't compromise with either dairy or egg. With so many creams readily available, it's easier than ever to find yourself craving the sweet and savory flavors of ice creams.

13. Peanut Butter Apple Pie Ice Cream Cups:

Are you having trouble finding a good way to impress your friends and family? Do you ever feel like you have to share too much - or are you simply allergic to peanut butter ice cream? Well, worry not! Instead of ordering plain ice creams, try pairing them with a different type of nut butter - or even just whip up some avocado toast instead! Your guests will thank you later.

14. Mint Green Tea Ice Cream Cups: 

Our parents have taught us that green tea is the secret to success - and honestly, it's true. It has a relaxing and energizing effect on your body while providing a boost to your brain and mood. Pair these refreshingly light and fruity ice creams with fresh mint leaves or herbal teas, and you've got one of the tastiest and healthiest ways to satisfy hunger without sacrificing taste.
