6 Frozen Desserts From Grandma's Kitchen

Beat the heat with this Italian lemon ice recipe. It's easy to make with only sugar, lemons, and mint and you can "top with raspberry-flavored liqueur as a little something extra for adults," according to recipe creator tcasa. "My grandmother used to always make this Italian lemon ice on hot summer days. We loved them and now my kids love them too. The adult version is tasty too," she adds.

"I made these for my children and now will be making them for my granddaughter," says recipe submitter GARETH. "These ice pops are SO easy to make (and so inexpensive)," adds reviewer SarahL. The recipe calls for Jell-O mix, flavored soft drink mix, and white sugar, but you can add fruit pieces too. And pro tip from grandma: If you serve them in paper cups, there will be less mess.
