Introduction
Summer is the perfect time to indulge in sweet and refreshing desserts. The warm weather and abundance of seasonal fruits make it easy to create delicious and light desserts that are perfect for hot days. In this article, we will explore 18 summer desserts that can be prepared in three steps or less. These desserts are quick, easy, and perfect for any occasion.
Baked Peaches
These baked peaches smell like fall in the summer! The cinnamon and sugar glaze gives a caramelized sweetness in every bite. If you want to take this subtly sweet dessert in a more savory direction, skip the ice cream topping and serve the peaches with a sprig of thyme instead, or sprinkle granola over the baked peaches for a texture similar to streusel.
Pink Lemonade Nice Cream
Sweet, tangy, and so refreshing, this is a treat you could enjoy on repeat all summer long. The bananas make it ultra creamy, so it tastes like a cross between sorbet and ice cream. It’s perfect for dessert or a midafternoon snack on a hot day.
Berry-Lemon Ice Pops
Fresh squeezed lemons blended with sweet berries creates a perfectly refreshing treat.
Vegan Watermelon Fruit Pizza
Wedges of juicy watermelon topped with nondairy coconut yogurt and berries make for a crisp and refreshing dessert. To feed a crowd, leave the wedges blank and let guests add their own toppings to the yogurt.
Rainbow Ice Cream Cake
This fun and fruity cake is easy to make, once you get the hang of the blending, freezing, and layering. Be sure each layer is frozen completely before adding the next to get the maximum rainbow effect.
Strawberry Nutella S’mores
Upgrade classic s’mores when you use chocolate-hazelnut spread instead of a chocolate bar in this quick recipe. We also added fresh strawberries and swapped graham crackers for thin lemon cookies in a fun, healthy twist.
Peach Crisp
Sweet summer peaches star in this easy peach crisp. The crunchy topping adds nutty flavor and texture to juicy peach filling. When peaches are out of season, you can use frozen peaches instead. Be sure to let them thaw completely before using.
Banana Split Pops
You’ll never go camping again without this fun twist on classic s’mores made inside a split banana. Plus, it’s easy to make gluten-free or to cut some carbs–just ditch the graham crackers and scoop this gooey treat up with a spoon instead.
Virgin Banana Piña Colada Pops
The tropical flavors of a piña colada make for one delicious ice pop. Be sure to reach for ripe bananas to get the perfect sweetness (without any added sugar!) for this clean-eating-friendly frozen treat.
Raspberry-Pistachio Greek Yogurt Bark
Mix Greek yogurt with sweet jam and crunchy pistachios and freeze so you can break into chunks just like chocolate bark (but healthier!). This colorful snack or healthy dessert is perfect for kids and adults alike. Use full-fat yogurt to ensure the creamiest bark possible.
Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake Ice Pops
Cheesecake mix, graham crackers, and strawberries make this truly a cheesecake popsicle.
Pineapple-Chipotle Pops
Discover your inner child with these very grown-up ice pops! Pineapple and coconut milk are blended together with a hint of chipotle powder to give just the slightest bit of heat. You need six 4-ounce pop molds or eight 3-ounce paper cups and eight wooden craft sticks.
Berry Ginger Shortcakes
For this ginger-flavored berry dessert recipe, sweet biscuits are split in half, filled with sweetened berries and topped with sour cream-flavored whipped topping.
Pineapple Oatmeal Upside-Down Cake
Adding whole-grain oatmeal to this upside-down cake and topping it with fresh pineapple makes this dessert right-side-up.
Banana Buster Pops
Cool off with frozen bananas and peanut butter drizzled with chocolate.
Grilled Peaches with Honey Mascarpone
Here’s a new idea for dessert on a camping trip or in the backyard. Because you don’t need the recipe for s’mores. But you could totally crumble some graham crackers on top to add some crunch to these grilled peaches.
