July Top 10: The Recipes You Couldn’t Stop Making

Hi foodie,

July was hot. Like, standing-by-the-freezer kind of hot. While the sun was busy trying to turn us into grilled cheese, I kept myself cool by blending watermelons, testing sorbets, and living off mango lassi.

But let me tell you something personal: this month wasn’t just about heatwaves and chilled desserts. July was also the one-month mark since I launched my Ice Cream Course on Domestika. And guess what? Over 600 of you have already joined! 🎉 I’m beyond grateful. Thank you for trusting me to be your ice cream guide—seriously, this means the world.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been laser-focused on updating old recipes with new photos, tips, and tricks to make sure they’re the absolute best for you. And of course, I didn’t stop creating new ones either—especially summer-friendly recipes to help us all survive this weather in delicious style.

So whether you've been here every week or just catching up now, here's a quick recap...
