Summer Recipes- Ice Cream

By Miriam Rossow, Communications Coordinator
Summer is often filled with family time, enjoying the sun and warmth, and relaxing by the water. For my family that also means treats; sweet treats. If we have a campfire smore's or at least a roasted marshmallow are a foregone conclusion. Ice cream of many varieties is a staple on our grocery list for the summer. And we love picking the raspberries off of the bush and popping them in our mouths or maybe collecting enough to make a pie.

What is your favorite dessert to enjoy during the summer? Do you enjoy ice cream served anyway- ice cream bars, ice cream drinks, ice cream sundaes? What about all those wonderful fresh berries? What is your favorite way to serve those berries? Do you enjoy smore's, popsicles, or is pie a favorite?

At Easter we gathered favorite recipes from our staff for you to try during your Easter celebrations. Recently we asked our members and staff what favorite summer dessert they enjoyed. Ice Cream was a sure winner and desserts with strawberries was a favorite.

Over the next four or five weeks we will post a blog a week with different recipes featuring a different dessert item. Enjoy and share pictures of your desserts in the comments or on our FB page.  
This week we will be focusing on ice cream! Of course you can have make an ice cream bar with many different toppings or just enjoy a cone or bowl of ice cream. We hope you enjoy trying some of these fun recipes that use ice cream. 

These recipes were taken from the Christ Our Savior cookbook, Let These Gifts to us be Blessed, published in 2010 through Morris Press Cookbooks for the Women of the Word group.
