With National Ice Cream Day falling on Sunday, July 19, The Dairy Alliance, a nonprofit organization funded by dairy farm families in the Southeast, is encouraging families to celebrate at home with simple, nutritious frozen treats made from real dairy milk and cream. The holiday presents an opportunity to turn dessert into a family activity, and The Dairy Alliance offers several recipes that are easy for children to help prepare.
Among the recommended treats are Creamy Peach & Almond Popsicles, made with real dairy milk, Greek yogurt, and sweet peaches, and Milk & Berry Popsicles, which combine whole milk, Greek yogurt, and mixed berries. For a quick option, the Strawberry and White Chocolate Whipped Cream Hero Milkshake blends real dairy milk and strawberry ice cream, topped with white chocolate whipped cream. This recipe ties into the organization's summer "hero fuel" campaign, which emphasizes dairy milk's role in strength, recovery, and focus.
"National Ice Cream Day is a fun reminder to slow down and enjoy something simple with the people you love," said Farrah Newberry, CEO at The Dairy Alliance. "These recipes use real dairy milk, so families are getting quality nutrition along with a treat everyone can enjoy together."
Real dairy milk delivers high-quality protein along with calcium and other essential nutrients, making it a better-for-you base for frozen treats without sacrificing the creamy texture that makes ice cream day worth celebrating. For more recipes, visit thedairyalliance.com/dairy-recipes.
