There are so many days in summertime when it's just too hot to bake... and yet, wouldn't you know it? Everyone still wants a tasty, homemade dessert (including you!) This is your permission to step away from the oven, and create an easy No-Bake Summer Dessert instead.
Here you'll find no-bake pies, no-bake cakes, and easy ice cream desserts, too. The cool treats are filled with fresh fruit and sweet add-ins. Make them in advance for summer parties or to treat your friends and family.

Why you'll love these recipes

These cool, refreshing, and creamy no-bake dessert recipes are just the ticket for sticky, muggy days. They include icebox cakes and pies that set up overnight, milkshakes, and homemade ice creams with ingredients like lemon cookies, fresh blueberries, New England maple syrup, and juicy peaches.

Many of these treats are fun and easy to make with kids, too!
My No-Bake Summer Desserts cover everything from a casual treat for the family to desserts that are pretty enough to bring to a party.
