Homemade Summer Coolants

Need a way to keep cool in the summer heat?
Most of these recipes sound very simple and have very few ingredients, though some are ingredients I don't always have on hand.
Strawberry Sherbet from Food, Travel, Books, and More

-----

Strawberry Sherbet in a little different way with a little different look from Tasty Kitchen

-----
How about some non-dairy, sugar-free Strawberry Banana Ice cream from The Primal Home 
 
-----
 
And just a little different way from The Reality of Skinny

-----

Or, for a different flavor, at that same site you'll find these Pina Colada pops


-----

Here is another Pina Colada refreshment - a float -  using homemade pineapple sherbet - from Cooking Classy


-----

How about this layered delight from Better Recipes

-----

Now, this recipe - from me - though I cannot claim the recipe as mine, but our family does like it.
A friend brought it to a gathering many years ago and we loved it ... made it a few times ... forgot about it cause I didn't have it written down ... and I just remembered it again this summer. 
Good stuff! 

And, so easy! 
1 container raspberry sherbet
1 container cool whip, thawed
1 package pecan sandies cookies, crushed or broken into small pieces
Let the sherbet sit out for a little while to soften, mix with the cool whip and crushed/broken cookie pieces.  Store in freezer of course.  We like to serve it soon after we mix it, while it is still soft, but we have kept it a few days (in individual serving containers) and it still works nicely if you let it sit a couple/few minutes before eating.
