I’m a huge fan of comfort foods (hello, pasta). But for me, summer is all about cool, refreshing recipes that don’t require me to turn on the oven or fire up the stove. I’m especially into popsicles right now. Ever since I bought a popsicle mold to make treats for the Frugal Vegan cookbook launch party, I’ve been dreaming up fruity concoctions to turn into frozen vegan treats. So far, I’ve made a batch with blueberries, coconut milk, fresh mint leaves, and a squeeze of lime. It’s such a refreshing combination!

While heading to the grocery store and picking up a tub of vegan ice cream is always an option (I’m a total sucker for the dairy-free Ben & Jerry’s flavors – like, all of them), it’s pretty simple to whip up your own summer desserts at home. The only hard part is waiting for them to freeze. If you can exercise some patience, I think you’ll find that the following recipes will satisfy all of your cravings for the creamy, cool, straight-from-the-ice-cream-truck flavor you need on a hot summer day.

If you haven’t ordered Frugal Vegan yet, here’s a recipe we made for all of the gracious attendees at our cookbook launch party in Chicago. They were a major hit!
