7 Incredible Summer Desserts

I already know one person who is going to LOVE this post: my mom! She just got a new ice cream maker and she’s been experimenting with various recipes. I’m so sad that I’m not there to try everything because it sounds like everything she has made are out of this world.

I’m drooling over all of these!!!

7 Incredible Summer Desserts

Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou

The hot summer days are back and I am so happy about it! Ever since I was a kid, ice cream has been my absolute favorite dessert. My ice cream maker is actually one of the first appliances I ever got and I try to use it at least a couple of times every summer.

I almost have to remind myself that there are more desserts than just ice cream to enjoy on warm afternoons. Here are my seven top picks.

1. Homemade Coffee Ice Cream

Coffee and ice cream? Basically my two favourites things in one. This recipe will blow your mind!

2. Tiramisu Pudding Parfaits

Ice cream, pudding and wafer cookies? These parfaits are adorable and delicious.

3. Matcha Ice Cream

I had a matcha phase a couple of years ago, and I love the way the bitterness of the matcha pairs with the sweet and creaminess of ice cream.

4. Dark Chocolate Brownie Affogato

This is one of those desserts that feels so fancy, but is totally easy to make. This is what I’ll be making my Dad for Father’s Day for sure.

5. Raspberry Sorbet

Fresh and flavourful. This raspberry sorbet is one of my favourite things because it’s so refreshing. Plus it’s vegan which means it’s great for potlucks where people have lots of different dietary needs.

6. Homemade Strawberry Popsicles

When you have local strawberries at the market, make these popsicles! They have a complex flavor with a tiny but of Balsamic vinegar.

7. Peanut butter chocolate ice cream

You can’t go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. Nothing more to say.
