Hot summer days practically beg for a sweet ending. We've rounded up some summer dessert recipes that you can prepare and eat in 30 minutes or less, because we want you to enjoy your summer as much as possible.
The great thing about summer desserts is that they can satisfy your sweet tooth without being heavy. Try our 100-calorie version of the banana split, Berry Banana Split, which features bananas (natch), fresh sliced strawberries, and just a dusting of cocoa. Or whip up a batch of our Fruit Fun-do with your kids. It's also just 100 calories, and ready in just minutes. Your little ones will love skewering the fresh fruit and dipping it in the chocolate sauce.
Sometimes you just want to indulge, and nothing quite beats the heat like ice cream. Try our Honey-Raspberry Parfait with layers of honey-glazed raspberries, cookie crumbs, and ice cream for a sweet summer treat. If you like to sip your dessert, try the Dulce de Leche Banana Shake, which is ready in just five minutes. And for the kid in all of us, there's the S'more Sundae, the childhood fave re-created as an ice cream sundae, with graham crackers layered with marshmallow crème, chocolate ice cream, and Reddi-wip®. If you're more of a sherbet kind of family, try our Refreshing Fruit Dessert featuring a medley of fruits, angel food cake, and a scoop of sherbet.
Sometimes dessert is more fun if you switch things up a little—who said dessert needs to end the meal? Try a sweet start to your dinner with Fresh Fruit Bruschetta; this appetizer alternative features nectarines, blueberries, and angel food cake. Or try a reverse dessert—the Upside-Down Fruit Nacho. It's made with fresh berries, creamy Reddi-wip, and sweetened crisp tortilla strips.
