16 Frozen Recipes (That Won't Give You Brain Freeze)

Peaches and Cream Ice Cream1/16

We've got a confession to make. This isn't quite ice cream. Or frozen yogurt. It falls somewhere blissfully in between.

Three striped juice pops stacked on top of each other.

Striped Juice Pops2/16

Magnificently sweet, outrageously vibrant, unconscionably healthful, and altogether lovely. That's what we think of these juice pops. Dare you to guess the ingredients.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream3/16

A classic, perfected. (Yes, we know, you've been promised this before by others. But we mean it.)

Three scoops of watermelon sorbet in a white serving dish.

Watermelon Sorbet4/16

No ice cream maker required. Just watermelon, citrus, sweetness, mint, and a little time in the deep freeze. Vodka optional. Then all you do is scoop it up and plop it in a pretty bowl.

Southside Cocktail5/16

Mint. Muddled. Mine. More. When we've got this gin-based mojito on our minds, those are the only words we can muster.

A champagne glass of Sgroppino, also called Lemon Chill, on a blue plate

Sgroppino | Lemon Chill6/16

This Italian sipper swirls together vodka, Prosecco, and lemon sorbet to ridiculously satiating, giggle-inducing effect.

Bitter Chocolate and Buttermilk Ice Cream7/16

You haven't had chocolate ice cream until you've had chocolate ice cream infused with two different types of dark chocolate. Talk about twice as nice.

A glass of Vietnamese iced coffee, made with layers of sweetened condensed milk, coffee, and ice cubes with a coffee drip over it.

Vietnamese Iced Coffee | Ca Phe Sua Da8/16

A simple, satiating, summery Vietnamese tradition known as ca phe sua da, this seductive classic is simply coffee, ice, and sweet, sweet, sweetened condensed milk. Here's how to succumb at home.

A scoop of black coffee ice cream on a silver spoon.

Black Coffee Ice Cream9/16

Know how every once in a while you taste something that's so insanely satiating that a single spoonful pretty much satisfies? Nah, neither do we. Pass this ice cream, please.

A hand holding a scoop of Ben & Jerry New York super fudge chunk in a sugar cone.

New York Super Fudge Chunk10/16

Ben & Jerry, we love you and we always will. But we make our own Super Fudge Chunk now that's even more riddled with chunks of all sorts of super fudge-y spectacularness.

Guinness and Ice Cream11/16

A marvie blend of bitter stout and sweet ice cream, this inspired rendition of an old-fashioned float just may take you by surprise.

Butter Pecan Affogato12/16

Straight from Venice by way of Charleston, this Southern belle cheats a little, usurping the role of vanilla gelato with butter pecan ice cream.

A frozen gin fizz in a martini glass with an orange stir stick and a little piece of lemon on the rim.

Frozen Gin Fizz13/16

We know, we know. Blender drinks are for sissies--or so you may think. If that's the case, take a sip of this stiff riff on the gin and tonic. Then get back to us.

A metal ice cream scoop with a scoop of concord grape granita in it.

Concord Grape Granita14/16

You're not going to believe how easy it is to create this tartly sweet grape granita. Really. You wanna make a bet?

Cereal Milk White Russian15/16

Saturday mornings just got a whole lot more interesting thanks to Momofuku Milk Bar and their corny riff on a classic libation.

A glass of lemon-cucumber cocktail with a sprig of mint, a lemon wheel, and a slice of cucumber.

Lemon Cucumber Cocktail16/16

A gentle and genteel sipper, this libation draws on gin, cucumber, club soda, mint, and the lilt of lemon as a solution to lazy, languid summer nights.
