Foodie Friday: Summer Sweets

 

Oh sweet sweet summertime! Where have the days and nights gone? But let's not get ahead of ourselves. There is still at least a month to come of warm sunny days to enjoy. This recipe roundup will keep you cool and satisfy your sweet tooth without heating up your kitchen. I think you will agree, they all look berry delicious!

Strawberry Shortcake Trifle With Homemade Vanilla Bean Pudding

This recipe had me at homemade pudding. I can't eat the powdered box stuff because it is filled with preservatives, sulfites, and worse. Strawberry shortcake is time consuming to create individual servings. Enter this trifle recipe. It's so pretty, and so is the bowl. It's by Mac-Kenzie Childs. Recipe at

Nonnie’s 6 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake

Put a fork in me. I am already done. This is the only recipe I need for summer. Tieghan says that the recipe is so easy, the trickiest part is waiting for it to freeze. I'm in.

Half Baked Harvest

Cake Batter Ice Cream

Have you ever had it? When Stone Cold Creamery first opened, I was hooked on this stuff. It was so darn delicious. I mean killer good. This recipe calls for....funfetti cake mix! How fun is that?

Broma Bakery

Browned Butter Grilled Peaches with Cinnamon “Toast” Brioche Crumbs

A simple dessert that couldn't be more summery sweet. Top it off with homemade ice cream and you have a real treat!

Half Baked Harvest

Lemon Cheesecake Mousse

Anything lemon is so refreshing when it is hot. Lemon mousse is the perfect summer dessert. Made with a graham cracker base and cheesecake topping, it's light, sweet and tart.

No Bake Strawberry Mascarpone Tart

When it is too hot to heat the oven, make this. It's not only beautiful, but super easy to make.

A Beautiful Plate

Peach Swirl Cheesecake Bars

Wish I had this recipe today as I bypassed the peaches at The Farmers Market. These will top off any summer supper with a pecan infused cookie crust, fresh peach puree, and a creamy vanilla filling.

Love and Olive Oil

Rosé Sangria Ice Pops

Rosé Sangria in ice pop form. Sweetened rosé wine is filled with fresh fruit and frozen into popsicles. This recipe gets my vote for the prettiest dessert ever. And yes, please, to wine for dessert.

Creamy Frozen Margarita Pie Slice with a Pretzel Crust

The title says it all. And that crust is genius! The recipe promises to keep you cool and buzzed all summer long!

Williams Sonoma

Yogurt Popsicle

So pretty, right? They are made with just four ingredients and no refined sugar. The sweetness comes from the fresh fruit and honey. Want to make them this weekend? Order one of the molds from Amazon. Get the recipe at....

Pina Colada Milkshake

I have about one milkshake a year, and not even a whole one. Haven't had one yet in 2022. This may just be the recipe! Of course, one could have it without the rum but......why? 

365 Days Of Baking and More

Frozen Yogurt Donuts
This is a fun recipe that certainly would be refreshing. It isn't really a donut at all (which is a shame). But you make this frozen treat in donut molds. A great idea!

Foodie Friday: Ice Cream Dreams ~ Recipes & More

{ Via: She Knows }

The minute the weather heats up, I start thinking about ice cream. What about you? The truth is, the ice cream at the market leaves me disappointed. It's just not what my Mom churned back in the day. July is National Ice Cream Month. I think it is high time we indulge in a frozen treat that we make ourselves. This roundup of recipes has a little something for everyone, the vegan, the chocoholic, the bacon lover and more.  Here's the scoop.
