Nutella Pops
Nutella fans enjoy a cult following and freezing this chocolate hazelnut treat may bring that frenzy to a new level. Combine Nutella with whipped topping and milk and pour into Dixie cups, old-school style, placing a popsicle stick in the middle. Freeze until firm, snip off the cup, and the best frozen dessert recipes just got better with a little Nutella.
Triple Chocolate Frozen Dessert
Easy frozen chocolate desserts have to make chocolate the star and this one has three leading roles. Dark, white, and milk chocolates are chopped and combined with hot, heavy cream to make three separate ganaches.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes before whipping each ganache to a whipped-cream consistency. Layer one on top of the other in a foil-lined loaf pan and freeze, removing from the pan to slice and serve. In just 1 hour, you’ll have one of those make-ahead frozen desserts to please a crowd of chocolate lovers.
Strawberry Dole Whip Recipe
If you’ve visited Disney World you’ve likely cooled off with a Dole Pineapple Whip in the Magic Kingdom. This recipe allows you to enjoy this frozen treat at home, far from the lines and crowds, with the fresh summer flavor of strawberries.
Simply add frozen strawberries and raspberries to the blender with milk and a touch of lemon juice. Blend to combine and scoop to enjoy. Or, place the blended mixture in a plastic bag, snip off the end, and swirl into cups for true Disney effect.
