While we don’t really recall ever having met a dessert we didn’t like, we favor a certain type of sweet in the heat of the summer: the no-bake cake. Despite our love of cooking, turning on the oven during the hottest months of the year could be considered a form of torture, so we try to avoid it as much as possible…which works out perfectly when our alternative desserts are any of the four cakes we’ve got for you below. They’re all creamy, cool, and refreshing, so take a look and dive in!
1. Sunny Lemon Icebox Cake
We are absolute lemon addicts over here, so this dessert strikes the perfect chord with us. Perfectly sweet and tart, you definitely don’t want to miss this one…. Get the written recipe here!

3. Banana Split Icebox Cake
