Sugary desserts are a summer go-to, because let’s face it – what is more refreshing than a big ice cream cone on a sweltering afternoon, and maybe another the same night?

Dessert is best in the summer at every barbecue, beach party, or social gathering, when any brownie or cookie can be topped with a scoop of your favorite ice cream flavor. One of the hardest things is resisting the urge to eat when these treats are needed to cool down on a hot day.

Instead of worrying about gaining weight while still needing to wear shorts and bathing suits, there are a variety of sweet desserts to indulge in that are not only super trendy this summer, but also taste just as good as they look.

Check out these popular and easy-to-make summer desserts if you want to impress your friends and family, or if you just feel like making them for yourself.
