Make Cherry Limeade Ice Cream using Kool-Aid for a fun refreshing summer dessert that the whole family will love!

Cherry Limeade Ice Cream made using Kool-Aid is an easy and refreshing fruity dessert that the whole family will love.

I have a love-hate relationship with humidity.  It’s great for my skin and I love that it makes swimming in a cold pool so refreshing but… other than that it’s terribly uncomfortable.  I remember in high school coming home from field hockey practice in the summer with my clothes just drenched because of how hot and humid it was out.  Ewww, I know!  But what the uncomfortable humidity does do is give you a greater appreciation for refreshing desserts like this Cherry Limeade Ice Cream!Cherry Limeade Ice Cream made using Kool-Aid is an easy and refreshing fruity dessert that the whole family will love.

This is super simple to make.  You don’t even need to pull out your big ice cream maker (though you totally can).  Just grab your milk and 20 cent packet of Kool-Aid, mix it together, pop in the freezer, and voila!  The perfect treat to enjoy with the kiddos on a hot day!

There are tons of flavors to choose from and can easily be used in this recipe instead of the Cherry Limeade flavor.  I’d love to hear what flavors you try!

    In the picture it looks like there is little green pieces of something in the ice cream. What is it?

    This is very good. It reminds me of a push-up. Creamy and a little tangy. Very refreshing!

      Linda- It is just that– creamy, tangy, and refreshing! I loved push-ups as a kid! I think they sell push-up molds so you could always freeze it in those and have your very own homemade push-up!
