An ice cream bar is always a great dessert option for any pool party. We set up a simple one that ended up being a real hit. Changing up the glasses you serve ice cream in can make it seem much more appropriate for a party.

We made these GF vegan ice cream sandwich chocolate chip cookies and you guys, they are seriously some of the best I’ve ever had!
