Man I love summer.
I love the summer holidays, I love summer weather (the hotter the better for me!), I love summer fruit, and I love summer frozen treats!
My kids and I are on a mission to try out as many frozen treats recipes as we can this summer. This is the list we are working through – some of them are tried and true family favourites, some are simple and easy, and some are totally over the top and amazing!

Which one of these frozen treats do you want to make??
We use fun silicone ice pop molds to make our homemade frozen treats. Aussies, you can buy the ones we have here, and you can also find similar ones on Amazon here (affiliate link).
We also have a set of ice cream molds similar to these ones and an old Sunbeam icecream maker, similar to this one, which are lots of fun (affiliate links).
Well… it’s freezing cold in Tianjin, China… but I had to try out the Chocolate Dipped Frozen Bananas anyway… and what can I say: easy to make and very delicious, the kids (and I) loved them! I only found that it was kind of hard to put the chocolate on, since the texture of the frozen banana and the melted chocolate don’t quite agree with each other. So I added some milk and a little bit of butter to the chocolate, to make it smoother, and that did in fact work better…
So thanks for the recommendation, the kids have already asked for me to make them again, :-).
So long,
Corinna
Thanks for sharing the tip about adding some milk and butter! These are on our list for this week! Stay warm!
It was so good, in fact, that yesterday when the kids came home from school my son went straight into the kitchen to make new ones himself, :-).
I liked Summer fruit Sorbet a lot. I had no idea it would turn out so delicious. My kids loved it. I\’m definitely going to try other treats as well. Thanks for sharing.
