Practically anything sweet can be frozen, in my book. Plenty of fruits are delicious frozen. Yogurt can be tasty if frozen (just not the fruit-on-bottom stuff). There’s a brand of little cream puffs my mom used to buy that are supposed to be thawed before eating, but they’re 100x better frozen. I can’t eat anything savory frozen, though. Cold pizza and turkey? You bet! But frozen? No way. ---

Frozen blueberries are freaking delicious. And put me down for another consumer of frozen cheesecake. ---

> [@Colophon](#): > > Frozen peas. I used to eat them by the handful as a kid, and I still do it now if I get the chance. They’re like little sweet balls of chilled deliciousness. 🙂 We used to have a cat who loved peas, and if you dropped a few on the floor while getting the bag out of the freezer, she would pounce on them and chomp them up. ---

> [@Markxxx](#): > > grabs a package of link sausages and pops it open and puts one in his mouth. His lady **fiends** says “What are you doing?” This would have worked so much better if the sausages were raw and bloody or something. :eek: 😃 Since frozen yogurt got to be such a common treat, this doesn’t sound particularly bizarre, but I always used to freeze my individual yogurt containers and eat them semi-frozen, way back in the dark ages when I was in high school. ---

My kids (toddlers) love frozen waffles. Or, at least they used to, until they discovered maple syrup. ---

> [@AHunter3](#): > > And put me down for another consumer of frozen cheesecake. I think that’s 'cause with cheesecake it’s so mushy you tend to gulp it down, but if it’s frozen you are forced to let it melt in your mouth, thus prolonging the taste. It is GOOOOD though 🙂 ---

> [@Markxxx](#): > > Why? I think it’d work great Early exposure to complex foods, early exposure to the common allergen of eggs, early exposure to wheat. A child under a year old has no business putting waffle in their mouth. As for frozen foods for me? Berries. Pop 'em in and let them thaw. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > When I was a kid we used to pick blueberries and freeze them. Once in awhile I would sneak a bowl of frozen blueberries, pour milk and sugar on them, and eat them. Delicious but my mother caught me she would get mad at me for eating so many berries. i do that, though it is some of my precious allotment of heavy cream for my coffee, and splenda =) Though I wonder why? Fruit and cream with or without a sprinkle of sugar is a classic dessert, and at least it wasnt candy =) ---

Nanaimo bars. For some reason, they taste even better frozen. (So I found out when I put them in the freezer to stop myself from nibbling at them. It didn’t work.) Frozen huckleberries, with milk and sugar. Heavenly. And I’ve also done the frozen grapes in summer. I wonder what frozen watermelon would be like? Certain cookies are pretty good from the freezer, and some don’t even feel “frozen” as you eat them. Girl Guide cookies, for example. ---

Does it count that I’ll freeze fruit juice to eat later? Orange juice, pineapple, lemonade, grape juice… mmmmmmmm frozen slushee treats!
