What are your favorite homemade treats readily made from every day ingredients? Or inexpensive ingredients requiring no special equipment like a ice cream maker?
This pregnancy I'm craving frozen treats but it's getting $$$! I'm supplementing right now by putting some lemonade in a Popsicle form. LOL It's hitting the spot!

greek yogurt and smashed up fruit from the blender. I freeze it popsicle holders, but I'm sure you could freeze it in anything

You should invest in this awesome little gadget! You keep it in the freezer and then you can make homemade slushies anytime using any ingredients. It's so fun and my LO loves it too!

ETA: it takes only 2-3 minutes for the process to work so it'll help for spontaneous cravings.

Also Hamilton beach makes a good little 30 dollar ice cream maker if you are inclined to make the investment!

Banana swirl! Put frozen bananas in a food processor or blender and pulse until it turns into ice cream. I add cocoa powder and nut butter to make it a little extra special. I have Daniel Tiger to thank for this awesome recipe.

You don't need any special equipment for granitas, just a square baking dish. You just need patience. In terms of ingredients it's just simple syrup (or sugar) and fruit juice and a touch of salt.
