Faux Berry Fro-Yo (CL Food) - With this healthy alternative to ice cream, you can still get your frozen yogurt/ice cream fix and maintain that girlish figure.

Goat Cheese Ice Cream with Sour Cherry Compote ( Mango & Tomato) - Tangy goat cheese makes for a great flavor addition to ice cream and the sour cherries give it an extra kick of flavor.

Grapefruit Sorbet (She Wears Many Hats) - The perfect mix of icy, sweet and tangy.

Pineapple Floats (Chocolate-Covered Katie) - Forget the root beer and vanilla ice cream and use frozen pineapple and coconut ice cream for this frosty vegan treat.

Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream (Healthy Food for Living) - Whip up a batch of this and put a scoop between graham crackers and a piece of chocolate bar for a frozen s'more treat.

Triple Layer Brownie Ice Cream Cake (Zoe Bakes) - Homemade brownie "cake" layered with three different flavors of ice cream and decorated with more chocolate — heavenly!

To help combat heat exhaustion, why not whip up some of these delicious-looking treats to satisfy your sweet tooth and stay cool?

Boozy Cocktail Milkshakes (Chow) - Three classic cocktails-turned-milkshakes. Creamy and delicious.
