This is the easiest treat on our list and the one our kids ask for most. Frozen orange juice concentrate does all the work: it is already sweet and icy, so the whipped topping turns it into something that tastes like a creamsicle you can sip through a straw.
Swap ideas: use frozen lemonade or pink lemonade concentrate instead of orange, or add a frozen banana for an even thicker drink. Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? A few more ice cubes.
Make it a learning moment: look at the can before and after. Concentrate is orange juice with most of the water taken out, which is why the can is so small. Ask how many cans of water it would take to turn it back into regular juice (the label says three).
