The Summer heat has hit the home front…so, out comes the swimming pool, sprinkler, slip n’ slide and of course ice cream!
What better way to cool off after a busy day outside in the heat than with an ice cream dessert! This Strawberry {Chex} Ice Cream Dessert is simple to make, gluten free and delicious. It is a treat, as a child, I could count on being in my Mom’s freezer during the warm months of summer. Strawberry ice cream sandwiched between a sugary, buttery, crunchy crust…..mmmm, my mouth is watering! Is yours? You can pull this tasty dessert out of the freezer and serve up just a few pieces or the whole pan at any time
