Cool Treats Made Easy with Lehi Mills

Summer’s here—and that means it’s time to ditch the oven and chill out with frozen dessert ideas that are as simple as they are delicious. Whether you're planning a backyard party, need quick dessert ideas for the kids, or want to try the latest viral baking mix recipes, we’ve got you covered.

With Lehi Mills' premium baking mixes, you can whip up easy frozen desserts that look TikTok-worthy but take minimal effort. Check out these frozen dessert hacks using our cookie and waffle mixes that are perfect for hot summer days.

 1. Ice Cream Sandwiches with Cookie Mix

Forget store-bought—these homemade ice cream hacks with cookie mix are a total summer win. Use our Lehi Mills Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix to bake soft, chewy cookies. Once cooled, sandwich your favorite ice cream between two cookies, roll the edges in mini chocolate chips or sprinkles, and freeze for 1-2 hours.

Quick tip: Bake the cookies slightly under for that perfect chewy texture post-freezing.

Perfect for: Pool parties, dessert boards, and late-night cravings.

 2. Frozen Cookie Dough Bites

This is one of our favorite frozen cookie dough treats. Mix up a batch of Lehi Mills cookie dough (no eggs needed if using our mix as directed), roll it into small bites, and freeze. Dip in chocolate or drizzle with caramel for an indulgent snack that stores well all summer.

Bonus points: Add crushed pretzels, mini M&Ms, or sea salt before freezing for a custom twist.

 3. Waffle Ice Cream Tacos

Yes, you read that right. Use our Lehi Mills Belgian Waffle Mix to create thin, crispy waffles (add a little cocoa for some added richness and color). While they’re still warm, fold them over a rolling pin to create a taco shape. Once cool, fill with scoops of ice cream, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of hot fudge. Freeze for 30 minutes before serving.

This one is made for Instagram—and your next dessert board idea.

4. Frozen Brownie Parfaits

Rich, fudgy, and perfectly chilled—these frozen brownie parfaits are a summer game-changer. Start by baking a batch of Lehi Mills Double Fudge Brownies and letting them cool completely. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, then layer in jars or cups with whipped topping, chocolate pudding, or frozen yogurt. Add a sprinkle of crushed nuts or chocolate chips for crunch.

Make it your own: Add sliced bananas, a swirl of peanut butter, or even a drizzle of caramel between layers.

These are perfect for prepping ahead and storing in the freezer until you're ready to serve.

 5. Make It a Frozen Dessert Board

Want to really impress your guests? Arrange a summer dessert board with:

Frozen cookie dough bites

Mini ice cream sandwiches

Waffle taco slices

Brownie parfait cups

Keep it chilled on a tray with ice packs underneath and you’ll have an irresistible (and photogenic) centerpiece.
