ATLANTA, GA — National Ice Cream Day, observed on July 19 this year, presents an opportunity for families to create frozen treats at home using real dairy milk and cream, according to The Dairy Alliance, a nonprofit organization supported by dairy farm families in the Southeast.
The organization recommends easy recipes such as Creamy Peach & Almond Popsicles and Milk & Berry Popsicles, both made with real dairy milk, Greek yogurt, and fruit. For a quicker option, the Strawberry and White Chocolate Whipped Cream Hero Milkshake blends strawberry ice cream with dairy milk and a white chocolate whipped cream topping. These recipes align with The Dairy Alliance'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 provides high-quality protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients, making it a better-for-you base for frozen desserts without compromising creamy texture. The Dairy Alliance highlights these benefits as part of its mission to raise awareness about the nutritional value of dairy foods and support local farmers.
