Summer Desserts for a Party

Looking for dessert recipes for your next get together? These Summer desserts for a party are easy to make, refreshing to eat, and can be easily adapted for a large group.

I don’t know about you, but I find the hardest part of preparing for a Summer picnic, potluck, or party is figuring out what to take!

As I went through my recipes the other day, I came across some dessert recipes that would be absolutely perfect. These are all simple to make and delicious to eat.

Strawberry Pie

What says Summer more than strawberry pie? This recipe can be made in a traditional pie pan, or multiplied and put into a 9 x 13 rectangle pan. The crust is a no roll crust and can be simply pressed into the pan before baking. The yummy filling uses strawberry jello and is poured over fresh strawberries. Once chilled and set, it’s all ready to go.

Texas Sheet Cake Brownies

Ooey gooey moist chocolate brownies with a fudgy frosting, chocolatey flavour, this Texas sheet cake (the size of Texas!) is my absolute favourite and a definite crowd pleaser…

This recipe is made in a large sized jelly roll pan. The beauty and simplicity of this recipe is that the icing is poured over the hot brownies as soon as they come out of the oven!

Grasshopper Pie

I used to call this Chocolate Mint Dessert and I multiplied it by many and made it for large groups at the camp I worked at for a time. It was always a hit. It, too, can be made in a traditional pie pan, or multiplied and layered in 9 x 13 (or larger) pans for larger numbers of people.

Also a chilled dessert, it’s perfect for a hot Summer day – and bonus! – it can be made ahead of time.
