A DIY ice cream taco? Amazing! Just dip store-bought hard taco shells in chocolate and roll in peanuts, let the chocolate dry, then fill with your favorite ice cream!

Flambee pineapples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and rum, then serve over vanilla ice cream with a sprinkling of toasted coconut.

No. 3: Grant's Banana Split Ice Cream Cake

This recipe combines two classic desserts -- store-bought ice cream sandwiches and banana splits -- into one jaw-droppingly-good cake that be made for birthdays, special occasions or even just a nice weekend treat. Top it all with peanuts and what you'll get is pure happiness.

No. 4: Big Gay Ice Cream's Salty Pimp Sundae

Rachael Ray Show

This decadent dessert from NYC’s Big Gay Ice Cream elevates a basic hot fudge sundae to a mind-blowingly tasty treat. The dish features “awesomesauce,” a richly layered chocolate sauce with hints of cinnamon, chipotle chili, cayenne and sea salt.

No. 5: Grant’s Watermelon Ice Cream Pops

Rachael Ray Show

This one will really wow your friends and family – watermelon ice cream pops like you could get at an ice cream truck! You just layer ice cream and other ingredients in a loaf pan, stick popsicle sticks in, freeze, and slice!

No. 6: Camouflage Ice Cream

Rachael Ray Show

This fun ice cream looks like camouflage when you scoop it! And it’s so easy to make! Start with a chocolate ice cream, a light brown ice cream like coffee, and a green ice cream like mint or pistachio. Then, just scoop randomly from the three containers into a loaf pan, and freeze. When you scoop it, your ice cream will be camouflage patterned.

No. 7: Manhattan-Style Cherries Jubilee

Rachael Ray Show

For this super-easy but impressive recipe, sautee cherries with butter, brown sugar, orange zest and salt, then add bourbon and (carefully) light it on fire! Serve over vanilla ice cream.

No. 8: Scarlett Smorynski's Avocado Ice Cream

Rachael Ray Show

Why not cool down with some healthy avocado ice cream? This recipe really could not be easier. Just blend up avocado, heavy cream and agave, then freeze, that’s it.

No. 9: Michael Schlow's Bananas Foster

Rachael Ray Show

Michael Schlow's throwback recipe is from his early career when he would prepare Bananas Foster tableside. For a spin on the classic ice cream and banana recipe, Michael adds deliciously salty Marcona almonds as a garnish.

No. 10: Jeanette’s Peanut Butter and Jelly Boozy Milkshake

Rachael Ray Show

This milkshake is sure to bring back those nostalgic memories of childhood… well, minus the booze! Just toss strawberry ice cream, creamy peanut butter, milk and 3 shots of bourbon into a blender and voila!

No. 11: Grant’s No-Churn PB ’n J Ice Cream

Your favorite childhood lunch just took a turn for the deep freeze -- as an ice cream flavor that is! Add some salty peanuts into the mix for some crunch.

No. 12: Katie Lee's Dreamy Creamy Ice Cream Cake

Rachael Ray Show

Katie Lee makes this creamy, dreamy dessert with store-bought pound cake (or any leftover cake will do, but let’s be honest, who has leftover cake?), orange sherbet, vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries.

No. 13: Grant's Brownie Ice Cream Cake

A decadent, gooey, chocolate brownie, or creamy and sweet ice cream? This cake is perfect for those days when you just can’t choose.
