21 Fun Frozen Desserts I’m Making All Summer Long

Personally, my favorite desserts are almost always frozen or topped with something that is—namely ice cream. Whether it’s the height of summer or the dead of winter, after dinner, I’m turning to my freezer and pulling out a nibble of ice cream cake, a tub of sorbet, or an ice cream sandwich to cap off my night. But that bite of something bracingly cold and just sweet enough? Frozen desserts really do hit the spot in summertime.

With that in mind, I’ve collected 21 of the very best, very fun frozen desserts to celebrate the season. They run the gamut from no-churn (and regular) ice creams to homemade Choco Tacos to layered-up icebox cakes. Even better, they’re easy to make ahead and keep on hand for a spontaneous ice cream social with friends and family, or just yourself. The hardest part will be waiting for your frozen treats to thoroughly chill. So the sooner you find the recipes that speak to you, the sooner you can whip them up, pop them into the freezer, and get to enjoying the—frozen—fruits of your labor!
