Summer desserts are some of the best kinds. This one is perfect for gatherings with friends! This no-bake dessert takes after the well-known (and well loved!) drumstick ice cream.
The crushed peanuts and chocolate sauce make each bite the perfect blend. It is easy to store, serve, and eat. This Drumstick Frozen Dessert is a great crowd-pleasing dessert, and is particularly great when served alongside extra topping options such as chocolate and caramel sauce, chocolate chips, and cookie crumbs.
