From Scratch Freezer Treats Series: Ice Cream Sandwiches, Popsicles & Dairy-Free Delights!

There’s something undeniably special about cooling off with a frozen treat that you made from scratch. At Luna’s Coons Farm & Kitchen, we believe that homemade tastes better—not just because of the ingredients, but because of the care, intention, and love that go into every bite. That’s why we’re thrilled to launch our brand-new From Scratch Freezer Treats series!

Whether you're looking to satisfy a nostalgic craving with homemade ice cream sandwiches, beat the heat with refreshing fruit popsicles, or treat your family to delicious dairy-free alternatives, this series is for you. Let’s dive into what makes these frozen delights so special and how you can whip them up in your very own kitchen—no artificial flavors or preservatives in sight.

🍪 Ice Cream Sandwiches: Nostalgia Meets Homemade Goodness

Few things bring back childhood memories like an ice cream sandwich. Soft, chewy cookies hugging a generous scoop of homemade ice cream—what could be better?

In our recipe, we guide you through making the cookies from scratch. Chocolate chip, double chocolate, oatmeal, or peanut butter—there’s no wrong answer. For the ice cream, try our easy no-churn vanilla bean or experiment with flavors like honey lavender, espresso, or mint chocolate chunk.

Pro tip: Once assembled, individually wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe container. They make a perfect grab-and-go summer snack for both kids and adults.

Want to get creative? Try rolling the edges in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips for a little extra flair.

🍓 Popsicles: Sweet, Colorful, and Perfectly Refreshing

Popsicles are a summer essential, and making them at home couldn’t be easier—or healthier. The possibilities are endless with seasonal fruits, herbs, yogurt, and even veggies if you're feeling adventurous.

Some of our favorite combinations:

• Strawberry Lime & Mint – Refreshing and vibrant

• Peach & Basil – Subtle, floral, and summery

• Blueberry Lemonade – Tangy and sweet

• Creamy Mango Coconut – Rich with tropical flavor

Want to involve the kids? Let them pour the layers or add fruit chunks into the molds. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that also gets them excited about healthy eating.

Don’t have molds? No problem! Use small paper cups and popsicle sticks—just peel the cup off after freezing.

🥥 Dairy-Free Delights: Creamy Treats Without the Cream

Going dairy-free doesn’t mean you have to skip creamy indulgence. Our dairy-free freezer treats are rich, smooth, and just as satisfying as traditional ice cream. Made using plant-based milks like coconut, almond, or cashew, these recipes are perfect for those with allergies, sensitivities, or anyone seeking a lighter alternative.

Try our:

• No-Churn Coconut Chocolate Ice Cream – Made with full-fat coconut milk, cocoa powder, and a touch of maple syrup.

• Coconut-Lime Popsicles – Creamy and refreshing with a tropical zing.

• Cashew Vanilla Bean Ice Cream – So smooth, no one will believe it’s dairy-free.

These treats are also ideal for meal prep—you can make a big batch and store them for weeks, ready whenever the craving hits.
