I would like to start this post by saying, IT. IS. HOT.
HOT, like 103 degrees and no one should be allowed out of doors, that kind of  HOT.
With that said, my kitchen also gets HOT when it’s 103 degrees outside.
We like cool treats when it’s this hot, and I made some. I used my refreshing lemon cookie recipe to make the cookies, and then I scooped some oh-so-delicious Purity Black Cherry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream into the center. Did I mention this is a “Light” ice cream? It says on the box it’s “1/2 the Fat”. I take that as permission to eat twice as much because that would then even out the calories of a normal fat ice cream.
You may notice in some of the last few pictures that my ice cream started to melt which, ahem, made a really big mess, but that just makes it gooey-er.
Enjoy and stay cool!
