Summer is officially over, and fall is officially here!  That means the temperatures are starting to drop, but it isn’t quite cold enough yet, to stop eating ice cream and enjoying some warmer weather treats.  Before you finally put away your ice cream maker for the year, try out these 3 new ice cream recipes I’m going to share with you today.
