August "flavor of the month" post

My recipe for this month is a bit of a work-in-progress because I haven't made a final version yet. I've only made a "personal" version so far, but I plan to make it in a 9x13" pan for a party next weekend. I'll update my post after I do.

I *heart* lime and lemon, so as soon as Bridget suggested it I was excited. My mind was a whirl and I couldn't decide what to make.

One night I had one of those nights when you wake up and can't go back to sleep and my thoughts were jumping from one random topic to another. And then it hit me... one of my favorite treats in the world is a strawberry limeade from Sonic. I needed to try to come up with some way to capture that flavor in a dessert.

Here's what I came up with.

Frozen Strawberry-Limeade Dessert

(I don't have amounts yet.... I'll figure that out later in the week)

Ingredients:

Animal cookies

Lime sherbet

strawberries

sugar

whipping cream

vanilla

First I took amimal cookies and lime sherbet and made little ice cream sandwiches.

I put them back in the freezer for a bit.

I then sliced the strawberries and sprinkled them with sugar. I put them in the refrigerator to let them get juicy.

I made some whipped cream.

And then I layered it all up.

It was delicious.

When I make it for a group, I think I might crush the animal crackers and make them into a crust.

I'll let you know.
