Cool off this summer with a delicious ice cream treat. But don’t limit yourself to boring flavors when you can create your own! Take a look at these refreshing ice cream flavor ideas you can create yourself. You will have tasty ice cream in no time!

No Ice Cream Maker? No Problem

Although homemade ice cream is yummy, you can still create different flavors using a store-bought base. Start with vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream and let it soften before adding your mix-ins. You can also incorporate food flavoring concentrates to boost the taste. After adding everything, place your creations in the freezer and let them chill before enjoying the tasty treat!

Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry shortcake is a refreshing dessert that’s perfect for the summertime, and you can create an ice cream flavor that reflects this treat. Start with a vanilla or strawberry ice cream base, and then add fresh strawberry slices and crushed vanilla cookie pieces. The berries bring the fresh flavor, and the cookies add the best crunch! You can never go wrong with this concoction.

Cereal Milk

After eating cereal, you may drink the leftover milk at the bottom of the bowl. The cereal flavors make the milk sweet and tasty. If you want to recreate that taste, consider making cereal milk-flavored ice cream. Soak one cup of cereal in a bowl with one cup of milk for thirty minutes. Next, strain the bowl of cereal into a separate cup. Now, add the strained milk to your preferred ice cream base. The milk will make the ice cream soft, so let the mixture freeze for at least three hours before enjoying.

Peanut Cookie Butter

Cookie butter ice cream is delicious. You can put a spin on this dessert by using peanut butter cookies! Crumble ten peanut butter sandwich cookies in a blender, and then add 1/2 cup of melted butter and 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk into the cookie crumbs. Blend until the ingredients make a peanut-butter like paste. Add your cookie butter to a chocolate or vanilla ice cream base and stir the mixture to avoid random globs of cookie butter.

Fresh Lemon

Fresh lemon is the ultimate refreshing ice cream flavor idea because it’s super simple to create yourself. Squeeze and strain fresh lemon juice into a cup, and then stir one tablespoon of sugar into the juice. Afterward, pour the mixture into a vanilla ice cream base and freeze. You can also add lemon zest for extra flavor!
