We’re having a heatwave…a tropical heatwave. Whew! It is HOT outside in so many places right now and it’s only June. We can only imagine what August will be like. That’s why we have rounded up these Cool Desserts for Hot Summer Days.
When it’s a hot day, we’re looking for any possible way to cool down. From running through the backyard sprinkler to swimming to lying in the hammock under the shade of a big tree with a cool drink in hand, anything that helps us get through those hot, steamy days is what we’re looking for. That even includes the food we eat. No big bowls of stew or hearty casseroles for us right now – we want light summer salads, refreshing ice pops, potato and pasta salads, and fresh fruit salads, among other yummy summer foods.
