These easy summer desserts include fruit crisps, frozen treats, no-bake recipes, and more! No matter what you're craving, you'll find one you love.
Does anyone else have a weakness for summer desserts? I definitely do. It’s funny, because for most of the year, I don’t think of myself as much of a dessert person. I might reach for a slice of banana bread at breakfast or crave a cookie in the afternoon, but by the evening, I’m rarely in the mood for something sweet.
But all that changes in the summer. I’ll never turn down a bubbly fruit crumble topped with vanilla ice cream, brownies at a picnic, or a scoop of sorbet on a hot day. These summer desserts make the season more fun, more whimsical, and all around more delicious. Who could pass them up?
Low Calorie Dessert Recipes
You’ll find 30 of my favorite easy summer desserts below. They include recipes that showcase seasonal fruits like berries, peaches, and cherries, sweets that pack up well for picnics and cookouts, and frozen treats to help you cool off on hot days. I’ll be rotating through them all summer long. I hope you love them too!
Here in Chicago, strawberries hit their stride before most other summer fruits, in late May or June. As a result, the recipes below are some of the first summer desserts I make each year. Each one is simple, so it really showcases the sweet, juicy fruit.
A summer essential! Layer the lemon cornmeal biscuits with fresh berries and whatever creamy filling you like. Whipped cream, coconut cream, ice cream, and Greek yogurt are all excellent here.
Individual Desserts Recipes
Psst! These yummy crumble bars are totally vegan and gluten-free. I make the crust and crumble topping with a mixture of oats and almond flour and bind it all together with coconut oil instead of butter.
This pretty tart is one of my favorite summer desserts for entertaining. To get ahead, bake off the crust up to a week in advance and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, add the whipped coconut filling, top it off with fresh berries, and dig in!
If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you know that there’s nothing I love more than peak-season peaches. I’ll never tire of eating them on their own, but I adore them in these fresh, easy summer desserts, too.
Lemon Cheesecake Mousse
Cobbler recipes don’t get simpler than this! The sweet, buttery topping calls for just 6 ingredients, and it comes together quickly in one bowl. Sprinkle it over the peaches and pop them in the oven, and you’ll have a mouthwatering summer dessert on the table in no time.
Out of all the summer dessert recipes here, this crisp is the one I make most often. It’s a breeze to put together, and I love how the sweet, juicy peaches contrast with the crisp, nutty topping.
If you’re firing up the grill to cook veggie burgers or corn on the cob, you might as well leave it on for dessert! Serve the sweet and smoky grilled peaches with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cinnamon-spiced walnuts for crunch.
The Best Refreshing Summer Dessert Recipes
Make them with sweet cherries, tart cherries, or any summer fruit you like! This easy, flexible recipe would work nicely with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, plums…you get the idea.
Homemade granola adds a delicious nutty crunch to these luxurious parfaits. Don’t worry if you can’t find fresh tart cherries. Thawed frozen ones work perfectly here too.
When it’s too hot to turn on the oven, these no-bake dessert recipes are the best way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Fruity Summer Desserts That Are Easier Than Pie
Even more than actual cookies (anyone else?), so I developed a vegan, gluten-free version that’s totally safe to eat! You could portion it into balls and store it in the fridge, but grabbing a spoon and eating it out of the bowl works too. 🙂
Every time I think about these no-bake bars, my mouth starts watering. Even though they’re made with wholesome ingredients, they taste rich and decadent, with a bold chocolate and butterscotch flavor.
These summer dessert recipes go way beyond ice cream (though you’ll find that here, too). They include frosty pudding pops, cool cakes, sweet sorbets, and more.
Summer Desserts: No Bake And So Simple To Make
The first time I made this recipe, my jaw almost hit the floor. It was so. darn. GOOD! Made with just 3 ingredients, it’s rich, creamy, nutty, and sweet. Try it once, and it’ll have a permanent spot in your rotation of summer desserts.
How cute are these triple-layer cheesecake slices?! They have a date and walnut crust on the bottom, a creamy “cheesecake” layer in the middle, and a bright, refreshing raspberry stripe on top.
I could easily eat one (or two or three) of these bars every day in the summertime. The filling is creamy, cool, and bright – everything I crave on a hot day.

These homemade pudding pops are just as rich and fudgy as store bought ones, but they’re made with plant-based ingredients like almond milk, almond butter, and avocado.

Summer Desserts Everyone Should Try
Jack’s a devout carrot cake lover, so this recipe is one of our go-to summer desserts. Slather the moist, warmly spiced cake with tangy cream cheese frosting to take it over the top.
Cardamom and lemon zest give this simple cake a lovely aromatic flavor. Serve it with a dollop of yogurt or coconut cream and your favorite fresh fruit.
This recipe makes two loaves. If you can resist devouring them both right away, give one to a friend, or pop it in the freezer for an easy summer dessert on another day.

These summer desserts include cookies and brownies, treats that are perfect for making ahead of time and taking on-the-go. Bring a batch to your next cookout, or pack some up for a picnic. No utensils necessary!
With crackly tops, crusty edges, and rich, chewy middles, these brownies are a hit at any time of year. See this post for an equally tasty vegan recipe.
Sure, these cookies are vegan, but they’ll still give any regular chocolate chip cookies a run for their money. They’re crisp on the edges, soft in the middle, and loaded with gooey chocolate chips.
Lemon Lush Dessert
When I have an abundance of fresh thyme in my summer herb garden, I fold it into these buttery shortbread cookies. They’re a lovely afternoon treat or delightful, unexpected finish to a picnic lunch.
