If you’re in the mood for a tasty treat and you want to try something new, check out these awesome no-bake recipes for when it’s hot outside!

I’m loving the summer heat (and taking refuge in the AC sometimes!) but when it comes to summertime treats, there’s only so much fruit and ice cream a girl can enjoy. I want something else and I want to get creative in the kitchen again, but what I DON’T want to do is to turn on my oven. Baking a cake or cupcakes or pie is totally out of the question when it’s 38 degrees outside (that’s about 100 Fahrenheit, friends!) because it turns my kitchen into a sauna.
