Southern Ambrosia Salad
This is a super sweet treat, even though sour cream is a key ingredient. Do not fret. You really cannot taste it. The great part of this recipe is that you can use fresh fruits or canned. This is a recipe that I personally make, but I use canned mixed fruit with cherries, drained of the water. My kids absolutely love it, and it is a great salad to bring to any summer party.

No-Bake Cheesecake
While cheesecake can be a bit heavy for summertime, it is still a hit with my family. What is really great about this recipe is that you only need a couple of ingredients and a premade graham cracker crust. Then, you can top it with fresh fruit and cool whip.
Strawberry Cheesecake In A Jar
With this recipe, you can have your cheesecake in a smaller portion and with a lot less regret. It is great for eating while sitting outside on your patio with your family. You can even tweak the recipe to use any fruit of your choice. Pineapple or blueberries make a great summer alternative to strawberries.
Ice Cream In A Bag
This is such a fun way to get your kids involved in making dessert. We would suggest using a larger bag filled with ice and larger grained salt like kosher or sea salt to get a thicker batch of ice cream.
Two Ingredient Chocolate Mousse
Everyone loves chocolate, so you already know that this simple recipe will be a hit. All you need is water and chocolate. It does not get much easier than that.
