Hey there! Ashley here, the editor of AllFreeCopyCatRecipes.com. To me, nothing says summer quite like soft, yummy, full-of-flavor ice-cream. Growing up, every day from summer camp I would come home and beg Mom for a Strawberry Shortcake Good Humor Bar tucked away in the freezer. For seeking out ice cream, you have a few options: you can drop everything and run to the grocery store, search the neighborhood for the Ice Cream Truck, or you can take it easy and create your very own. Tart or sweet, fruity or chocolate-flavored, in a bowl or on a stick, you can’t go wrong with these fun homemade ice cream creations. Grab your friends, grab your kids, anyone that loves ice cream and try out these recipes together.
Homemade Creamsicles
Talk about a dream come true! It’s perfect for anyone who loves fruity desserts with a light vanilla taste. They’re the ultimate way to cool off on a hot summer day. This is the stuff childhood memories are made of.
Homemade Fudgsicles
This dessert is the cream of the crop of chocolate delights. Simple to make, delicious to taste, it’ll make you forget about any other dessert! As you can see, making any ice cream bars is a snap with molds that can be found in the grocery store or even by pouring your ingredients into a Dixie cup. Creativity is the name of the game…there is no right or wrong way to make your homemade ice cream delights.
Mini Ice Cream Drumsticks
This recipe truly thinks out of the box. These darling mini cones are perfect for a party, afternoon in the backyard, or anytime you want to give someone you love a special little treat. It’s homemade ice cream made miniature! Darling and delicious…what more can you ask for?
Homemade Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey Ice Cream
Bananas and chocolate are one of my all-time favorite flavor combinations. Homemade ice cream doesn’t get much better than this…Ben & Jerry’s fans, rejoice! A recipe like this will impress everyone who tries it.
So there you have it, some of my picks for delicious homemade ice cream. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you happen to make one of these recipes or any others, I would be thrilled to see them! Feel free to post them on AllFreeCopycatRecipes Facebook Page or leave a note in the comments.

Did your favorite ice cream confection make the cut? What’s your go-to treat during the dog days of summer?
Very cool ideas for a very steamy summer. Part of the fun with homemade treats is that you can control the portion size. Things can be as big, or for the weight wary, as small as you need. Furthermore, I have a niece who is allergic to peanuts so doing sweets from home is a great way to protect her health and stave off any potential allergic reactions.
James, thanks so much for stopping by and for the great comment. Working with homemade store-bought treats every day, I definitely agree with you…it’s much easier to customize recipes when you’re making them at home.

One of my favorite things about summer is making frozen desserts. Right now I’m on a popsicle kick — I take all kinds of fruit and blend and pour the mixture into molds. Then my freezer’s stocked for at least a week! I definitely need to add some chocolate to my freezer though with those fudgsicles. Thanks for these recipes.
Thanks for the great comment, Kimberly! And thanks so much for stopping by. Popsicles are great…I know I have a few I am featuring in the upcoming weeks on AllFreeCopycatRecipes.com. Stay cool and have a great summer.
