Ice cream and summer go hand in hand.

Beyond just a tasty treat that you and your family can enjoy on a warm summer day, ice cream makers like the Ninja Creami can lend themselves to a fun summer activity you can enjoy as a family.

We chatted with mom influencer Shannon Doherty, also known as At Home with Shannon, the master of "mom-hacks" on TikTok, to get some of her tips on making ice cream at home with kids.

"I love making ice cream at home with my family in the summer! My kids love seeing that they were the ones who made the ice cream that they are eating -- making the entire experience extra fun," Doherty said.

"My kids also love adding toppings like sprinkles into their new creation -- homemade ice cream and a movie is a great summer tradition in our home."
