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, no-fuss icebox cakes, 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? Lemon meringue pie bars. You can skip rolling out pie dough with this easy-to-make, press-in version (win!) and the perfectly toasted topping is a breeze with a little help from your broiler.

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.

There are cupcakes under that cone! Cleverly frosted with buttercream and dressed up to look like ice cream, this dessert is perfect for a summer picnic or cookout.

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.
