What is better than some refreshing, chilled summer desserts to beat the scorching daytime heat? From yummy icebox cakes and refreshing sorbet to comforting ice creams and chilled panna cottas, several dessert options are available to explore. Here’s a list of a few to try.
This no-bake chilled dessert is all about layering Oreo cookies with whipped cream and refrigerating for overnight to let the cookies soften into a cake-like consistency.
This is a refreshing frozen dessert made from pureed ripe mangoes, maple syrup, and lemon juice. It is often considered a dairy-free alternative to ice cream.
With an inherent touch of nostalgia, these sweetened water-based pops are all about being a citrus-flavoured and orange coloured icy summery treat.
This creamy frozen dessert is known for its rich, buttery, and caramelised flavour. And, the crunchy praline beads made with brown sugar do make them even tastier.
Best served chilled, this classic Italian dessert is famous for being silky smooth. The wobbly, melt-in-the-mouth texture comes from the custard, thickened with gelatin.
