Frozen Dessert Recipes

1-Minute Peanut Butter Cup Greek Yogurt

Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to combine a little naughty with your nice.  And when the naughty (i.e., the candy) happens to have less sugar and nothing artificial, all the better! Midway through the afternoon, I frequently get a sensation of hunger that no carrot or celery stick will satisfy.  I like vegetables a lot, but…

Peanut Butter Popsicles

Four easy ingredients create a refreshing, protein-rich treat that the whole family will love. Perfect for healthy snacks and dessert-and they will pass for breakfast!         Hot days call for cold treats. We’ve made our fair share of ice cream runs this summer (major thanks to Penny’s and Lancaster Sweet Shoppe 🙂…

Creamy Chocolate Power Shake

Thick enough to eat with a spoon and loaded with a wholesome balance of ingredients that will deliciously fuel your day.   I LOVE this shake–although you can call it a smoothie if you prefer. Initially, I was not a believer.  My friend Anita gets all the credit for showing me the wisdom of adding…

John’s Favorite Ice Cream Cake

A few weeks ago, I was working at my computer when the doorbell rang. Although I got up right away, I opened the door to find no one there. A quick glance up and down the street revealed nobody, but as I turned to close the door I noticed a yellow rose, attractively wrapped with…

Peanut Butter Cup Protein Shake

A high-protein meal replacement that pulls double duty as dessert?  Sign me up!  This thick, creamy shake has actually served me quite well over the years.  Because of my penchant for a nightly bowl of ice cream–truly one of the hardest habits for me to break–I’m always on the hunt for healthier options that truly…

5-Ingredient No-Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

Pure vanilla flavor shines in this no-churn ice cream recipe that’s as fun to make as it is to eat—and no fancy ice cream maker is required.   I can still picture my grandfather packing rock salt into the barrel of his old ice cream maker when I was a kid. My sister and I…

Easy Fruit & Yogurt Popsicles

Two basic ingredients are all you need for wholesome, creamy, refreshing popsicles that can be customized to taste.   I have a vivid memory of running through the sprinkler with my sister on a hot summer day, only to hear the distant melody of an ice cream truck. No sound was more thrilling or inspired…

Chocolate Coconut Milk Ice Cream (easy 5-ingredient recipe that’s dairy-free and naturally sweetened)

Luxuriously sweet and creamy, it’s hard to believe this ice cream is dairy-free and naturally sweetened – and incredibly easy to make.    After years of developing mostly healthy recipes, people logically assume that I am one of those really virtuous eaters. And I truly enjoy lots of wholesome foods. Truth is though, I also…

“Nice Cream” – pick your favorite flavor

One unexpected ingredient creates a creamy treat, to which other flavors can be added for a deliciously satisfying, dairy-free alternative to ice cream. As much as we adore our summertime scoops of ice cream from our favorite parlors (Carmen & David’s or Springer’s anyone?), this faux ice cream is shockingly delicious and refreshing–especially when you…

Giant Chipwich Cake

Get ready to see eyes pop and smiles stretch from ear to ear! As an added bonus, this recipe can be prepared in steps and stored in your freezer until needed.   I vividly remember bringing my first baby home from the hospital. That first evening, my husband and I sat in our screen porch…

Chocolate Peanut Butter “Ice Cream”

Those who know me are keenly aware of my fondness for ice cream! (I actually have some very funny stories that center around this beloved frozen treat…will have to get into that later!) Anyway, to satisfy my nightly cravings, I have developed a pretty fabulous chocolate smoothie but am always on the lookout for other…
