If I had to pick one food that is my favorite I would say ice cream. I LOVE it. This cold creamy confection makes me swoon with every bite. I am not picky about the flavor but crave its rich decadent favors whenever I am hot, sick or just because. I know there could be better things to crave but this is it. This is how I am wired. So, every year during July I take advantage of Ice Cream Appreciation Month! You know what I do…EAT ICE CREAM. Here are a few of my favorites recipes for this summer.

Red White and Blue Ice Cream Cake

1 quart Braum’s Pomegranate sherbet
1 quart Braum’s Pineapple sherbet
1 package Braum’s Pound Cake, sliced
1 pint Braum’s whipping cream, whipped
Blueberries
In a 9 inch spring form pan, line the bottom with thin slices of pound cake creating the crust. Top with softened Birthday Cake ice cream. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the top and press down. Immediately put in the freezer and allow it to freeze for 2 hours. Repeat ice cream procedures with the Pineapple sherbet and then the Pomegranate sherbet. Freeze overnight. Before serving top with whipped cream and blueberries. Remove cake from springform pan and serve.
Yogurt Pops
2 cups Greek yogurt
1 cup fruit juice, your choice
3 tablespoon agave nectar
Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and stir. Pour into Popsicle molds and freeze.
Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
1 package Braum’s cookies (I use chocolate almond)
Complimentary ice cream of choice (Vanilla Chunky Chocolate), softened
Sprinkles, mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for garnish
Remove cookies from packaging and place on a baking sheet. Place these in the freezer for at least one hour. Remove from freezer and place one scoop of ice cream on cookie and then top with another. Press gently. Roll in mini chocolate chips. Place on a piece of plastic wrap and cover completely and return to freezer for at least 2 hours.
