Summer desserts are equal parts refreshing and comforting.
Warm pies, cobblers, blondies, and shortcakes are rounded out by cooling popsicles, tarts, and milkshakes.
There’s almost this fun cozy feel to desserts shared in the warm evenings, and somehow a hot brown sugar crusted pie doesn’t feel so bad when it’s paired with a couple scoops of ice cream.
And whether you want to have your own at home cafe where you invite your friends over for some good coffee and the lemon blueberry blondies below, bring the mango coconut crumble to a brunch gathering, or just enjoy a snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich alone, this list of summer dessert ideas has got you covered.
