They called it “nice cream,” and it wasn’t no regular ol’ ice cream neither. It’s made from bananas, blended up smooth, and mixed with minty goodness and chocolate chips. Sweet as can be, and better for ya too, if you ask me! Ain’t that somethin’?

3. No-Bake Cheesecakes

I tell ya, a no-bake cheesecake can save a lotta trouble, especially when it’s too hot to be messin’ with the oven.
