Frozen Treats

Mango Sorbet: Blend ripe mangoes with a little sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze. Scrape with a fork every 30 minutes until the desired sorbet consistency is achieved.

Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles: Blend fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, a touch of honey, and a splash of lemon juice until smooth. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until solid.

Coconut Ice Cream: Combine coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture cool, then churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze until firm.

Citrus Granita: Mix freshly squeezed citrus juice (such as orange, grapefruit, or lemon) with sugar until dissolved. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze. Scrape with a fork every 30 minutes until you achieve a granita texture.

Chocolate Banana Nice Cream: Blend frozen bananas, cocoa powder, a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based), and a pinch of salt until creamy. Serve immediately or freeze for a firmer texture.

Watermelon Popsicles: Puree fresh watermelon chunks until smooth. Optionally, add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of mint. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze until solid.

Blueberry Frozen Yogurt: Blend frozen blueberries, Greek yogurt, honey, and a squeeze of lemon juice until smooth. Transfer to a container and freeze until firm, stirring every hour or so to prevent ice crystals from forming.

Pineapple Coconut Popsicles: Puree fresh pineapple chunks with coconut milk and a touch of honey until smooth. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze until solid.

Lemon Sorbet: Mix freshly squeezed lemon juice with sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator, then churn in an ice cream maker until smooth. Freeze until firm.

Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream: Make a batch of vanilla ice cream and ripple in a homemade raspberry sauce (blend fresh raspberries with a touch of sugar and strain to remove seeds) before freezing.
