When the temps rise, our ovens stay off—but our sweet tooth is still very much on. Whether you’re hosting a cookout, planning a pool day, or just trying to cool off, these frozen desserts are perfect for staying chill (literally) from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Each one uses fresh, seasonal produce and requires little to no effort—because that’s how summer desserts should be.

Any grape will do, but cotton candy grapes make this frozen treat extra fun. Add a sour twist or spice things up with tajín for a more grown-up version.
