When it comes to icy treats there are many different options to cool down with on a hot summer day. Here are 4 easy to get cold summer sweets.

Popsicle

This is normally the cheapest option, probably because popsicles are typically frozen water with some flavor, food coloring, and sugar. The fancier types might include fruit bits or candy frozen into the icy liquid. They are fantastic for the hottest days of summer, but make sure to have a tap nearby to wash your hands after.

Sorbet

Dairy-free and available at ice-cream parlors, sorbets are normally frozen pureed fruit with sugar. They make for a perfect dessert after a rich meal and go well with a summer cocktail.

Soft Serve Ice Cream

A beach-side classic that can be served in a cone or a cup. You can upgrade your soft serve with a chocolate bar, sprinkles, or some chocolate syrup. Not ideal for very hot days as the ice cream might melt faster than you can eat it.

Ice Cream Sandwich

These crowd-pleasers are made of two simple cookies with vanilla ice cream in the middle, or a more elaborate option of chocolate chip cookies with pistachio or mocha ice cream in between.
