5 Special Summer Desserts To Beat The Heat

With the sun blazing in its full glory; there is no better way to beat the blues than to indulge in summer treats that are refreshing and cool. Imagine taking a bite of creamy, fruity cake or galloping down a frozen popsicle? The experience is ineffable. The tanginess of fruits coupled with the sweetness of the cake results in a taste that is worth calories, whereas the chills and thrills experienced from eating a frozen popsicle very well sum up the summertime happiness.

So, summer times are all about eating fresh, light, and everything sweet. Here are five  summer desserts that are easy to make, hydrating, and tasty to eat. So, let’s binge on!

• Cake Pops: Mostly, when we order cake online for any celebration like birthday, anniversary, we are always left with some for the next day. In case; you do not wish to eat the leftover cake, you have the option to devour cake pops.
• Crumbled the left over cake
• Now make balls from the cake crumbs
• Insert a toothpick or skewer into the balls and set them in the freezer
• Take the balls out after 10-15 minutes
• Dip them in molten chocolate, vanilla or any dip of your flavour
• Coat it with colourful sprinkles

• Frozen Popsicles: When the temperature soars high and you need to cool down, have a frozen popsicle. A bite of the frozen popsicle teleports you to Iceland–where everything is Thanda Thanda, Cool Cool.
• Take any summer fruit–orange, lemon, jamun, watermelon, grapes
• Squeeze out the juice.
• You can also add chunks of the fruit into the juice
• Take a popsicle mould, pour juice into it, insert the stick and freeze
• After a few hours, your frozen popsicle will be ready
• Serve with chaat masala for desi-twist

• Cakes: When it’s about desserts, cakes are a must. And for the sweaty summers, ice-cream cakes and fruit cakes are known to give the relisher the much-needed cool and sweet vibes. If you are a resident of Noida (like me), then you can also order these cake flavours online and can avail at your doorstep via cake delivery in Noida. But, for the ones who love baking, here is the recipe.
• In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
• In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, butter. You can substitute eggs with bananas, if you are a vegetarian.
• Now combine the wet and dry ingredients. Add a few drops of vanilla essence.
• Pour the batter into a cake tin and bake for 30-45 minutes.
• Now top the cake with fresh fruits of your choice
• You can also layer the cake with ice-cream

• Mango Mousse: Summers are all about tasting the tangy-sweet produce of the season–mangoes. When you have mangoes and crave for something sweet, you make mango mousse–sweet, creamy, and seasonal.
• Chop mangoes and blend them in a blender
• In a bowl, add sugar, mango puree, and whipped cream
• Beat them until soft and fluffy
• In a glass put some whipped cream, and then the mango smoothie
• Garnish with mint leaves.
• Milk Ice-cream: An ice-cream a day, keeps sadness away! Summers tend to be incomplete without creamy and icy ice-creams. They make for a refreshing and tasty snack that can be eaten all day because once is not enough when it’s about ice-creams.
• In a bowl, add milk powder, vanilla essence, and sugar mix them
• Take a pot with heavy base and put it on a flame
• Add milk into the pot, and the dry ingredients you mixed
• Stir the milk well until you get a thick consistency
• Take the pot down the burner and let it cool
• Now, pour the milk into mould and freeze
• Garnish the ice-cream with pistachio and cashews

Happy Summers! Happy Desserts to you!!
