Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

This five-ingredient ice cream cake is super easy to prep by using store-bought ice cream sandwiches, whipped topping, hot fudge, caramel ice cream topping, and pecans. "Crowd pleaser! I took a whole pan to a cookout and brought it home empty :) I loved it because it was so easy, they loved it because it was equally delicious," says reviewer LanaShoaf.

Super Lemon Ice Cream

"This is the BEST ice cream recipe I ever encountered. It is super smooth, lemony, and just overall delicious. No modification was necessary. I also made a strawberry version using the same base," says reviewer K. Lee.

Very Chocolate Ice Cream

If you love all things chocolate, this 5-star custard-style ice cream recipe is for you. "Both in quality and texture, this is one of the best ice creams I've ever made.

The directions are well written and easy to follow. No need to change or add a thing," says home cook naples34102.

S'more Ice Cream Pie

Chef John's ice cream pie has a graham cracker crust topped with chocolate ice cream and miniature marshmallows for a frozen twist on a classic summer treat. "Everyone raved about the combinations of flavors that imitated a s'more. For convenience, I bought a graham cracker crust already prepared and I added mini chocolate chips to the softened ice cream before putting it in the crust. This will be a family favorite," says reviewer Shonna.

Cake Batter Ice Cream

"The major ice cream manufacturers should take note of this recipe, because this is the most true form of cake batter ice cream I have tasted. It is comparable to Cold Stone Creamery's Cake Batter Ice Cream. I honestly think I will never buy ice cream again. This was easy and you could easily use chocolate cake mix too. For the milk, I use whole milk and make sure you do not substitute the heavy cream for anything else. This is a CREAMY ice cream, not an icy ice cream," says Allrecipes Allstar House of Aqua.

Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream

This peanut butter ice cream is loaded with mini peanut butter cups for the perfect chocolate and peanut butter flavor. If you're a chocolate-lover, you can add extra chocolate chips.

Definitely peanut buttery which is a plus in my peanut butter obsessed house :D This is the first ice cream recipe I have ever tried...and I will never buy ice cream again," says home cook Tanya Masengale.

Brownie Baked Alaska

"Pistachio and strawberry ice cream top a fudgy brownie base that's frosted with meringue and torched to create this baked Alaska. This concept is said to have emerged when a British physicist known as Count Rumford was experimenting with egg whites during the Revolutionary period and found them to be poor conductors of heat. Make sure to bake the brownie base and layer the ice creams the night before prepping the meringue," says recipe creator Smart Cookie.

Easy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

This 5-star, egg-free mint chocolate chip recipe is easy to make using heavy cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and chocolate chips.

Gelato

This is a basic four-ingredient recipe for a frozen Italian dessert. You can use this as a base and experiment with other flavors, or add different ingredients such as vanilla, shaved chocolate, or fruit. "This gelato recipe is awesome very similar in taste and texture to the gelato in Italy. I was very impressed with this. It was great and not too hard to make either," says reviewer kr3w31.

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake Pops

These four-ingredient frozen cake pops are so easy to make this summer. Simply coat store-bought ice cream sandwich halves in chocolate and top with your favorite crunchies — such as sprinkles, cookies, nuts, or crushed candy bars. "The shell coating against the cake part of the ice cream sandwich gives it the most amazing texture. It's not thin and brittle like normal chocolate-coated pops, but more like the inside of a Carvel ice cream cake. Assorted toppings (I like crushed Oreos!) add crunchy texture and the cake warms a little so it's a perfect contrast to the cold ice cream," says recipe creator NicoleMcmom.

Fried Ice Cream

Vanilla ice cream is coated in cornflakes and cinnamon before being fried for a crunchy frozen dessert. "Delicious! We have made it for our friends, and everyone wants the recipe! Tastes just like a Mexican restaurant! I sprinkled added cinnamon on the balls after they were fried and then topped with whipped cream more cinnamon and honey! YUM," says home cook Dena Aucoin Burk.

Mini Ice Cream Pretzel Sandwiches

Pretzel Crisps are stuffed with strawberry ice cream, fresh strawberries, and chocolate to create these mini ice cream sandwiches.
