Summers are here in full swing and the heat is intolerable. On moments this heat doesn’t leave me all irritated and frustrated, it makes me feeling incessantly hungry and thirsty- as if I haven’t had anything since years. I know you guys relate to me and there is no denying that this heat is certainly going to test us to the maximum. Hence, I’ve compiled a list of my most favorite summer desserts– inclusive of drinks- and trust me, these are going to last you this entire sadist summer!
Now, most of these are easy summer desserts with few ingredients and they do not test your patience or take a lot of your time. I do understand that even though you guys have a sweet tooth, you definitely wouldn’t want to stand and whip up recipes. So, don’t worry- I totally have your back. The list also has summer desserts for parties, no-bake summer desserts, refreshing summer desserts and so much more!
Dessert mistakes to avoid during summers
Now, I know that I should get started with the list already. But, I care about my huge and vast family and I couldn’t resist sharing some basic tips for this barbarous summer.
- Try not to have a chilled summer cooler or smoothie as soon as you enter your home after a long day out in the Sun. It will end up disbalancing your body temperatures and trust me, you don’t want that.
- I realize that most of us can’t resist a nice, decadent slice of our favorite dessert with a yum layers of ganache or cream-cheese frosting. But, my suggestion? Please don’t end it in one go- and especially not in the afternoons. They will confuse your body and it will end up feeling extremely heavy and lethargic.
- Go for lighter yet more filling breakfasts like chia seed puddings or smoothie bowls with granola. They’ll keep you up and about throughout your day!
