Lemon Berry Trifle
"This lemon berry trifle is so tasty and delicious. I needed to make a dessert last minute for a party, so I went through my cupboards, found instant lemon pudding mix, and came up with this recipe." - cookiequeen
Freezer Caramel Drizzle Pies
"This recipe makes two delicious freezer pies topped with coconut, pecans, and a caramel drizzle. What a refreshing treat on a hot summer day!" - Karen Neilson
Gerry's Cobbler
"Excellent recipe, my family loved it. Have made this many times with various fresh, frozen, canned fruit. I use apple juice or milk for the juice ingredient many times. I also mixed cinnamon with the fruit after the first time which makes it even better." - Jenna
Mint Oreo Icebox Cake

"This decadent Oreo icebox cake is incredibly easy to make and requires only six ingredients," says culinary expert Nicole McLaughlin (a.k.a. NicoleMcMom). "It’s a perfect dessert for kids’ birthday parties that doesn’t require heating up the kitchen. As is, this cooling cake offers a delightful mint-chocolate flavor profile, but feel free to switch things up by using your favorite Oreo cookie flavor–just leave out the fresh mint."
Mojito Sorbet
"This minty mojito sorbet has all the flavors of a mojito cocktail! The optional rum in the recipe helps the sorbet not freeze too hard if being stored in the freezer. Delicious on its own, or mixed with rum for a frozen mojito." - MrsStvnsn
Double-Chocolate Frozen Fudge Pops
"I like to make these chocolate fudge pops from scratch without a packaged pudding mix for a fun frozen treat everyone will enjoy." - ying
Negroni Bars
"These colorful cookie bars are inspired by a negroni cocktail. If not serving immediately, cover pan and keep refrigerated." - Smart Cookie
Agua Fresca de Fresas con Crema
Yoly
"This delicious creamy strawberry agua fresca will have your taste buds thinking you’re eating dessert!" says Allrecipes Allstar Yolanda Gutierrez.

"This rhubarb pie is simply delicious!" says Allrecipes community member Carol. "My mom used to grow rhubarb in her backyard, and when her rhubarb was ripe, what great pies she made!"
Bastani (Saffron and Rose Ice Cream)
Allrecipes Magazine
"Bastani is flavored with rose water, the key to this vibrant and delicious saffron and rose ice cream," says Allrecipes Allstar Candice Walker. "Rose water has a strong flavor, so start with 2 tablespoons if you want a more delicate floral note."
Spicy Lemon Ginger Switchel
While there were many mocktails and cocktails in this Allrecipes summer issue, few of them qualify as actual desserts. This spicy lemon ginger switchel borders the line. I loved it when I tried it though—and decided to add it on here as an extra. While it is a little spicy, it is also sweet and comforting after dinner because of the lemon and ginger, which will help your digestion like a limoncello might.
