Cool Off with Irresistible Frozen Treats - from Vikalinka


Frozen treats to cool you down!

Hello Reader

When the heat really kicks in, turning on the oven feels like a terrible idea… so let’s not. Instead, I’ve pulled together a handful of frozen treats that are just the thing for hot summer days.

Easy, make-ahead friendly, and perfect for everything from a lazy afternoon to garden party. Plus they're all cool, refreshing, and exactly what you’ll crave when the sun is relentless.

👉 Easy Pistachio Ice Cream - So easy but tastes like it came from an Italian gelateria.

👉 Eton Mess Semifreddo - Classic British Eton Mess, a mixture of whipped cream, strawberries and broken meringue pieces, transformed as a semifreddo!

👉 Amarena Gelato - This no churn vanilla gelato with sour cherry ribbons is luxuriously creamy and oh so tasty!

👉 Frozen Blood Orange Piña Colada (Virgin) - My take on a piña colada, but with a tasty, frozen twist, and alcohol free.

👉 Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches - The perfect homemade version of classic ice cream sandwiches. Make your own waffles, or use store-bought. Either way a perfect summer treat!

👉 Blackberry and Pistachio Ice Cream Eton Mess - A stunning use of pistachio ice cream, with an elegant twist. This might be my personal favourite!

Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!

Love,
