These Are The Best Delish Dessert Recipes To Serve At A Pool Party

A pool party is a fun, lighthearted event. With the cool water on one side and the sun shining down on the other, there’s only one thing that can make things better. Delicious desserts. The important thing is that it should be cooling and easy to eat on the poolside. So whether you’re planning a party of your own or taking a dessert along for someone else’s party, here are some delish dessert recipes you can easily whip up.

Popsicles

Homemade popsicles are a great way of beating the heat at a pool party, and a fun and exciting dessert to indulge in.

Ingredients

• 177 gm yogurt
• 593 g mfruit
• 4-6 tbsp honey
• ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ tsp lemon juice

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to the container of a blender.
2. Blend for 50-70 seconds or until the mixture is smooth.
3. Evenly distribute the mixture into the six wells of a popsicle mold.
4. Secure the lids and sticks on top of the mold and place it in the freezer.
5. Freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
6. Remove the molds, run each one under hot water for 30 seconds and then release the popsicle.
7. Enjoy immediately.
   To freeze for later, once the popsicles are removed from the molds place them on a baking sheet to flash freeze them for 30 minutes.
8. Place them in an airtight, freezer-friendly container or Ziploc bag until you are ready to enjoy them.

Key Lime Pie

Another fun dessert is the sweet and tangy key lime pie, which can be neatly sliced and served to guests.

Ingredients:

Graham Cracker Macadamia Crust

• 160 gm full-sheet graham crackers
• 62 gm salted macadamia nuts
• 25 gm granulated sugar
• 71 gm unsalted butter, melted

Filling + Topping

• 793 gm full-fat sweetened condensed milk
• 240 ml key lime juice
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon key lime zest
• Garnish:
  • lime zest
  • quartered lime slices
  • macadamia nuts
  • whipped cream
  • meringue topping

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
2. Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and macadamia nuts together into coarse crumbs. A few larger pieces of nuts is OK.
3. Pour into a medium bowl and stir in the sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until combined. The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy. Try to smash/break up any large chunks.
4. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish. Use your hand to pat down the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides to make a crust. Use medium pressure—simply pat down until the mixture is no longer crumbly.
5. Pre-bake crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the oven on.
6. Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and egg yolks together (or use an electric mixer). Whisk in the lime zest. Pour into warm crust.
7. Bake the pie for 18–20 minutes or until only slightly jiggly in the center. You want it mostly set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, cover and chill for at least 1 hour (and up to 3 days) before serving.
8. Garnish as desired.
9. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Blueberry cobbler

The blueberry cobbler is an adaptation of the classic peach cobbler and is a warm and sweet dessert that can be made in just a few minutes and tastes delicious.

Ingredients:

• 400 gm blueberries
• 100 gm + 200 gm granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 6 Tablespoons butter

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Slice butter into pieces and add to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the pan in the oven while it preheats, to allow the butter to melt. Once melted, remove the pan from the oven.
3. Add blueberries, sugar, and zest to a bowl and stir to combine.
4. In a separate bowl mix together the batter ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, just until combined.
5. Pour blueberries over melted butter in pan. Drizzle batter over the top. Sprinkle with a little bit of cinnamon.
6. Bake at 350°F for about 35-40 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
7. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream.
