Best Summer Dessert Recipes
During summer I gravitate toward desserts that highlight peak-season fruit — pies, crisps and cobblers — as well as chilled treats that live in the refrigerator or freezer. Classic strawberry shortcake is often the first thing I make once local berries arrive at markets, and a rich fudge-topped chocolate ice cream pie is always a hit. Below are some of my favorite summer desserts from blogging friends that span no-bake options, frozen pops, light parfaits and nostalgic campfire-inspired sweets. Which one will you try first?
