10 Light Summer Dessert Ideas That Won’t Weigh You Down

I love dessert as much as the next girl, if not more. That means that I’m not going to let a little thing like 90 degree heat stop me from satisfying my sweet tooth!  Here are ten perfect summer dessert ideas!

Frozen Margarita Pie

Light, creamy, with a hint of lime… the pretzel crust will give you just enough of a salty taste to work with the sweet flavor. It really does taste just like a margarita!

Frozen Oreo Pudding Cake

Forget Oreo’s and milk; this cake is pushing aside all your old favorites and heading straight for the top of the list! Sure, this dessert may be pure sugar, but you really cannot beat the taste of Oreo’s, Cool-Whip, chocolate pudding, and cream cheese all wrapped into one amazing taste!

Pineapple Delight

The name pretty much describes this dessert: pineapple, whipping cream, graham crackers, powdered sugar, a couple eggs, and a little butter. All that makes a fruity, creamy, heaven-in-a-bite that is on par with all of the best chilled desserts!

Campfire Cones

This is such a fun twist on the original s’more. Here’s how it works: you fill a cone with your favorite ingredients (marshmallows, chocolate, strawberries, bananas… you get the idea) and then you roast it over a campfire for about five to six minutes. Not only is it the best, classic dessert to have around a fire, it’s quick and easy! You’ve got to try these summer dessert ideas, they are absolutely mouth watering!

Strawberry Brownie Skewers

This may very well be the easiest dessert on this list. Cut some strawberries in half and put them on a skewer with marshmallows and bite-sized brownies (they don’t even have to be homemade!) and that’s 90% of the work done; melt some chocolate to drizzle over the top and they are party ready!

Individual Frozen Key Lime Pies

Who doesn’t love pie? And who doesn’t like a dessert that you don’t have to share with anyone else? Check and check! This lime dessert fits the summer bill perfectly as it is served cold and doesn’t even have to be baked!

Summer Berry Icebox Cake

Speaking of cakes that don’t have to be baked, try this berry concoction to impress all your friends not only with how healthy you are with all these berries, but also how amazing it tastes!

Lemon Raspberry Bars

I’ve got to tell you, I’m not huge on tart desserts; give me a pint of chocolate ice cream and I’ll be satisfied. BUT, I’m gonna make an exception for this dessert because it is so good! Sure, the lemon and raspberry makes for a tart combination, but the sugar and sweetened condensed milk give it just the right flavor.

Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Okay, so I know I just said I don’t do lemon that well and here’s another lemon one. (Disclaimer: the one after this is lemon too.) BUT, I came across this recipe and I was curious because it said it was vegan! Try it for yourself, vegan or not; they are so good!

Vegan Lemon Bars

For those who prefer bars to cookies, these will be perfect for your next big event! Delicious and inclusive for your vegan friends!
