When it’s hot out, nothing is more refreshing (or better tasting!) than a scoop (or two) of homemade ice cream or icy sorbet. We also love making ice pops (and kids do too!). Here’s a roundup of some of our favorite recipes guaranteed to cool you down in the summer heat.

Try the Kitchen store in Chelsea market or a restaurant supply store.
Do you sell the stainless pans the ice cream is pictured in? I can’t seem to find them on your site.
