7 desserts to keep in your freezer for when it’s hot and you don’t fancy ice cream

Forget cornettos and Soleros. These are the ice cream alternatives you’ll want to stock your freezer full of this summer.


We all know that the best way to cool down on a balmy summer’s day is with a frozen treat. And while 99s, Twisters and Magnums are all noble choices, sometimes you just need something a bit different to hit the spot. Thankfully, there are plenty of ice cream alternatives on the market to choose from.

Staples like frozen yoghurt and sorbet are always a good idea, but don’t be afraid to mix things up with the likes of frozen cheesecake (yes, really) and cookie dough mochi. Salivating already? Here are seven of our favourite iced treats.


Crosta & Mollica Lemon Shells
