FRUIT DESSERTS

Peach and Blackberry Crisp from www.whatsgabycooking.com (@whatsgabycookin)

Grilled Peaches - If you've got the grill already going you've gotta make grilled peaches. Grilling them brings out the flavor even more and you get little caramelized bits that are like little pieces of happiness. Add to that a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of sea salt and some ice cream – nothing can compare!

Mixed Berry Peach Galette - This show stopper will be the talk of your dinner party!

Strawberry Blueberry Shortcakes - These Strawberry Blueberry Shortcakes are one of my favorite patriotic desserts. Homemade biscuits, a big dollop of freshly whipped vanilla infused chantilly cream, and macerated strawberries and blueberries is my idea of the perfect summer dessert. 

Cherry Clafoutis - One of my all time fav desserts!! Add whipped cream for an extra bit of flavor!

Blueberry Skillet Cobbler with Ice Cream - It's THE BEST!! And the color from the blueberries is incredible.

Peach Blackberry Skillet Cobbler - This cobbler with blackberries, peaches, and obscene amounts of cobbler dough because it’s the best, and vanilla ice cream which I like to let melt into the cobbler.

Blackberry Peach Crisp - My fav crisp topping on a summer dessert with ice cream of course!

PIES & TARTS

Salted Key Lime Pie - If you want something sweet, salty and tart – this Salted Key Lime Pie is exactly what the doctor ordered! 

Banoffee Pie Trifles - Banoffee pie is a British dessert made from bananas, cream and a thick caramel sauce but we gave it the WGC spin and made it into individual trifles! Best decisions I've ever made! 

Banana Pudding Pie - Layers of thinly sliced bananas, freshly whipped cream, homemade vanilla pudding and wafers… omg it’s everything you’ve ever wanted in life and more. 

Salted Chocolate Tart with Kettle Chip Crust - This Salted Chocolate Tart with Kettle Chip Crust is the MOST decadent sweet and salty treat you could ever make!

Strawberry Peach Pie - This is exactly what you need to make this summer when you have an abundance of strawberries and peaches.

Caramel Drenched Flourless Chocolate Cake - My go-to birthday cake for my summer birthday the last 5 years and counting!
