Summer Cool Down Desserts

Summer Desserts

Hot Weather Dessert Recipes You’ll Love

Can you say “mmmm….?” Then get ready to yum it up with a hot weather dessert to cool down the summer. Rather than just naked ice cream, we dessert lovers at Taylor Morrison found some incredible recipes that can help bring down the hot temps. You can even recruit the kids to pitch in.

Easy As Pie

For something a bit adventurous, consider creating an ice cream pie. Start with a Frozen Malt Shop Ice Cream Pie and its super special ingredient: Whoppers malted milk candy. After that, try an equally simple Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Pie. Or, instead of pie go for cake with an irresistible Homemade Snickers Ice Cream Cake.

But if you’re looking to go beyond the usual favorites, try out this simple Orange Creamsicle Float recipe that takes it up a notch with coffee creamer.

Party On

What is summer without at least one ice cream party? Put out some toppings, like sprinkles, marshmallows, fresh fruit, chopped nuts, you name it, and have a do-it-yourself sundae fest. Have a fun-in-the-sun pool party, complete with ice cream.
