Today is my middle sister’s birthday and so I thought it would be appropriate to share these super easy-to-make Birthday Cake Sundaes. I try to keep this funfetti theme going every year, like with these Birthday Cake Cupcakes, Birthday Eclairs, and Birthday Streusel Muffins, and so these sundaes fit right in. The great thing about this recipe is that there’s almost no cooking involved and you can put it together with not much effort on your part, which is just what a summer dessert should be like. It of course, doesn’t have to be your birthday in order for you to celebrate with this treat, because as far as I’m concerned, birthday cake always tastes better when it’s someone else’s birthday.

We never really need an excuse to indulge in some ice cream, but I will say that during the summer months, when it becomes unbearably hot outside, that’s when we really, really need it. These Brownie Ice Cream Sundae Cones are a riff on the sundaes I would eat as a kid at Sizzler. I’d pile on brownie bites with whipped cream and lots of sprinkles. I felt like we all needed to remember our childhood, and what better way than with an over-the-top ice cream treat to cool us down this summer? If these cones aren’t inspiration enough, however, then maybe this 
When I was a kid, I would beg mom for money every time I heard the ice cream truck going around the neighborhood. I can’t tell you how many times I would run down the block so I could catch up with him. It was a constant game of trying to get out the door in time so I wouldn’t miss him. I would alternate the treats I would get from week to week. Sometimes I was in the mood for salty things like jalapeño cheddar popcorn or spicy corn nuts or cool ranch doritos. Sometimes I would want candy like now or laters or the gum with the zebra on it with the flavor didn’t last at all. Then on hot summer days, I would always go for ice cream. If I wasn’t getting a rocket pop, I would definitely get a batman ice cream bar with the bubblegum eyes. As I got older though I stopped getting the batman pops and started obsessing over the good humor strawberry shortcake ice cream bars. I remember eating those all summer long. Now as an adult, I can’t even tell you when was the last time I had one and I’m pretty sure they’d be equally delicious and disappointing. That’s why I wanted to recreate them at home. Now, these aren’t 100% the same. For instance, it doesn’t have a bright red ice cream filling surrounded by vanilla ice cream, BUT I do think they come pretty close in flavor. They’re incredibly easy to make thanks to the no-churn strawberry ice cream. If you’re a fan like me, then you have to give these a try soon!
I’m creeping out from my spot under the air conditioning, where I’ve been camping out for the good part of the past couple of weeks. It’s been extremely hot in Los Angeles, and I’m sure it’s hot everywhere else, but for us Angelenos we are melting away into nothing. The only way I think we can all survive this incessant heat is by making and eating a few ice cream sandwiches. Not just any ice cream sandwich though. Every year I make an ice cream sandwich of the summer (like last year’s 
To me, tres leches cake is just screaming to be turned into ice cream. I mean all of those different types of milks soaked into a soft sponge cake and topped with fresh whipped cream with cherries and sprinkles on top; it’s basically what ice cream dreams are made of. I’ve had this idea to turn my classic
