I can’t wait to try this in our family. Summer is always challenging to balance the sweets and treats we grew up loving in summer, with being healthier. Especially helping my father curb his love of ice cream with his doctor’s recommendation of reducing his dairy intake. I can’t wait to make this with the kids and see the excitement in their eyes when they taste what they made. I’m sure the freezer will soon be full of everyone’s creations and favorites.
