Ever get that craving for something sweet but without the hassle of cooking or baking?

I love the idea of no-bake desserts because I don’t have a lot of time. Between working on my online business, prepping and cooking all three meals a day, and running errands, there just isn’t enough time in a day for me to relax and bake one of my favorite cakes.

Of course, I save baked goods for times when I really want to spend an afternoon or evening to myself and whip up some good stuff for friends or guests who come over. It’s not to say that no-bake goods aren’t good—they are! It’s just that there’s a time and place for them.

During summer, when we have a lot of get-togethers, it’s physically impossible for me to spend a lot of time on a fancy recipe, which is why these no-bake summer desserts come in handy. It doesn’t matter what dessert you’re craving, there is a no-bake recipe for that cookie, cake, or even Danish waiting for you to salivate and take a bite!

Oh, my favorite has to be a no-bake Nutella or peanut butter pie—they’re the perfect desserts for any season, no matter if it’s hot or cold outside. When it’s warm, just scoop some ice cream on top and voilà, you’ve created a whole new variation of the recipe! Hehe.

In this post, I’ve gathered the best no-bake goodies you can try this summer. They’re perfect for an afternoon snack, to bring to a party, or even for a BBQ after you’ve had your favorite summer meal.
