We all know how hot and humid Florida summers can be, especially in August. Brevard Medical understands that sometimes it’s not even fun to hit the beach because the sand tends to burn your feet. We love the summer and because it is coming to an end, Brevard Medical would like to give you some cool end of summer treats to make. There are two things we love: delicious treats and beautiful Florida weather, so now is the perfect time to share our favorite recipes with you.

Cool End of Summer Treats:

Strawberry Cheesecake Salad

Ingredients:

  • 12 oz. whipped topping
  • 1 small package of cheesecake pudding (just the powder, don’t add the milk)
  • 3 (6 oz.) strawberry yogurts (Yoplait)
  • 1 lb. fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 3 bananas, sliced (add just before serving or they brown)
  • miniature marshmallows (add just before serving)

Directions: Thaw whipped topping and in a large salad bowl stir together whipped topping, yogurts, and pudding powder. Let this set up in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Wash and slice strawberries. You can add strawberries to salad or wait to add them with sliced bananas and marshmallows just before serving. Keep refrigerated.

Frozen S’mores

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
  • 14 or so graham crackers
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened on microwave’s defrost setting for 30 seconds
  • 1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened on microwave’s defrost setting for 30 seconds
  • 12 large marshmallows

Directions: Microwave cream and chocolate in a 1-quart glass measuring cup on high power until very hot, about 2 minutes. Whisk until chocolate melts into a smooth sauce. Line an 8-inch square metal pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang. Arrange 1/3 of the graham crackers over bottom, cutting the final few with a knife to fit. Drizzle 1/3 of the sauce over the crackers; spread evenly. Freeze until chocolate is just set, 5 to 10 minutes. Spread vanilla ice cream over the chocolate. Top with another cracker layer as before. Drizzle another 1/3 of the sauce over the crackers; spread evenly. Freeze until just set, 5 to 10 minutes. Spread chocolate ice cream over the crackers. Arrange a final layer of crackers over the ice cream. Spread remaining sauce over crackers. Freeze until set, about 2 hours, or double-wrap in plastic and freeze up to 5 days. To serve, lift dessert from pan; discard plastic wrap. Halve the dessert; cut each half into 6 slices. Return to freezer briefly. Toast marshmallows over a flame and serve alongside s’mores.

Now that your mouth is watering, go ahead and make these delicious treats! You can also stay cool this summer with our products.
