We're living in the middle of a heat wave. Are you? Although I love to cook, I'm having trouble wanting to turn on any appliances right now, since it's supposed to top 100 degrees several times in the next week. I'd rather keep the lights off and the air conditioning on! But, a frozen treat will make things a little better. Are you wondering what kinds of desserts you can make without an ice cream freezer? Check out my list for some easy suggestions that will help you entertain without any appliances.

Plus, if you are loving homemade popsicles to help you keep cool, take a look at this list of tips for making ice pops. You can create your own flavors and freeze juices that you already have in the fridge. Add a little yogurt for creaminess and let your family come up with their own suggestions. How much fun would it be for the kids to pick out their own flavors, but for you to know every ingredient that goes into them?
