Ree Drummond stocked her freezer with a variety of foods on ‘The Pioneer Woman’
Drummond shared some of her easy recipes on an episode of The Pioneer Woman that are perfect for storing in the freezer. “There is nothing that brings me more joy in life than having a freezer full of food, all ready to go,” Drummond said.
She added, “I’m going to fill the freezer with all three meals of the day and then some.”

How to make Ree Drummond’s frozen confetti dessert cups recipe
Drummond shared the steps for making her frozen confetti cups, made with just a handful of ingredients. “What a fun dessert, so easy to make,” she said. “I’m pretty sure you’re gonna want to whip these up so let me walk you through the recipe.”
She lined each cup of a muffin pan with paper liners, then got to work on the dessert.
First, Drummond placed vanilla sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulsed them into crumbs. Then she poured in melted butter and mixed the ingredients together. She pressed the crumb mixture into each muffin cup with the back of a spoon.
The Pioneer Woman star crushed four more cookies and mixed them with slightly softened vanilla ice cream and sprinkles. She spooned the mixture on top of the “crust” in the muffin cups and smoothed the tops.
Drummond added more rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate shavings on top of each cup, then placed them in the freezer for 2 hours.
After flash freezing the dessert, she removed each confetti cup from the pan and placed them in a single layer in freezer bags or airtight containers.
