Our Best Dessert Ideas for a Cookout
The warm weather is here so we’re breaking out the grill for a summer full of backyard barbecues and weekend get-togethers. And, that means it’s time to treat ourselves to all the delicious sweets that come after the burgers, hot dogs and ribs! We’re talking homemade ice creams and fun frozen desserts, easy-peasy icebox cakes and no-bake treats, seasonal fruit crisps, gooey s’mores-inspired bites — and so much more. Whether you’re hosting a small group of family and friends or inviting the whole neighborhood, you’ll find that these desserts fit right in.
A guaranteed crowd-pleaser? This fresh fruit 'pizza'. The crust is one big sugar cookie that can be baked a day ahead and kept well wrapped until you're ready to spread it with the cream-cheese topping (which you can also make a day ahead). Use any combination of ripe summer fruit you can find. Best of all, the dough could double as your go-to sugar cookie recipe, too — just form it into balls and bake at 350 degrees F for a soft, chewy treat.

Upside-Down S'mores Tarts

Creamy milk chocolate is sandwiched between a crunchy graham cracker and fluffy crescent dough and baked until golden brown, then finished with toasty marshmallows that will make your house smell like heaven.

Air Fryer Berry Hand Pies
Using an air fryer for these individual berry-stuffed pies saves on baking time and keeps your kitchen cool in hot summer months. Rolling the dough into tidy circles takes a little practice, but you can easily trim off any misshapen edges or just fold them into the crimping.

Blueberry and Nectarine Cobbler
When adding juicy summer fruit (like blueberries) to pies and cobblers, you generally need something to help the fruit coalesce into a sauce. Food Network Kitchen chefs love instant tapioca, as it thickens while fading into the background, letting the fruit shine.

Grilled Crispy Treat S’Mores
Take the favorite fireside treat to the next level — instead of sandwiching your s’mores between graham crackers, use gooey marshmallow cereal treats. These are on the larger side for easier grilling. The best part is you can make them ahead and unpack them at your campsite when your fire is ready to go. And if the weather isn’t cooperating, these can also be made indoors, with a grill pan.

Try them as an hors d’oeuvre with chips and salsa or as a boozy eye-opener at brunch. Be warned that the longer the strawberries sit in the margarita mixture, the stronger they get, so we recommend not letting them soak for more than 12 hours.
